Listen Later

On this episode of the podcast, we talk with Dr. Cornelius Plantinga, about his newly released book on Gratitude: Why Giving Thanks is the Key to Our Well Being. Among the topics we discuss:

  • What it means to say that giving thanks is the key to our well being
  • The relationship between the spontaneity of "feeling thankful" and the intentional practice of "cultivating gratitude"
  • How we might learn from others in our lives or biblical characters as an "apprenticeship" of gratitude
  • The difference between the biblical virtue of gratitude and gratitude as "self-improvement"
  • Gratitude in the Reformed tradition and other streams
  • Counsel for those who struggle to be grateful and where we might start.
