In this month’s Dwelling conversation, Dr. Richard Kannwischer welcomes pastor and author Rich Villodas for a thoughtful exploration of what it means to practice gratitude in a world filled with constant comparison, competition, and distraction. Drawing from the Psalms, Rich reflects on the deeper work of gratitude—not as a fleeting feeling, but as a spiritual posture shaped by awareness, specificity, and intentional reflection.

Together they unpack the subtle habits that erode gratitude—comparing, coveting, and complaining—and offer practical rhythms that help us return to the goodness of God with clarity and joy. With warmth and humor, Rich shares glimpses of his own family practices, the gift of written prayer, and the slow, steady work of cultivating a grateful heart.

Whether you’re longing for a renewed sense of God’s presence or seeking simple, grounded ways to anchor your soul this season, this conversation invites you to pause, pay attention, and rediscover the transforming power of giving thanks.
