What do you do when someone’s gratitude keeps slipping away?

In this Walking With episode, Jonathan Kindler equips pastors, counselors, and anyone listening to walk patiently with those whose thankfulness has faded. Through scripture, story, and real-life moments, he shows how forgetfulness isn’t failure—it’s the human drift of the heart—and how gentle reminders can help rekindle joy.

Blending biblical insight and counseling wisdom, Jonathan outlines how to name the drift, surface the lie, and build small rhythms of remembrance that actually stick. You’ll learn how to bring truth without pressure, create space for grace, and hand someone practical tools for remembering what God’s already done.

Whether you lead, counsel, or simply sit across from a friend who says, “I know I should be thankful, I just forget,” this episode gives you language and structure to walk with them well—helping gratitude become more than a feeling, but a practiced way of seeing grace again.

What does gratitude do to a life over time?

In this episode, Jonathan Kindler explores how steady thanksgiving moves from a moment to a framework—forming endurance, stabilizing peace, and teaching the heart to trust when nothing’s changing. Blending Scripture (Philippians 4:11–13; Psalms; Revelation 7:12), storytelling, and a warm dose of humor, he shows why gratitude is learned, not leapt into and how repetition literally rewires what we remember so faith becomes our reflex.

If thankfulness has felt like fireworks that fade, this conversation helps you build a rhythm that lasts, so mercy becomes memory, and peace becomes your posture.

Everywhere you look, someone has a label: my anxiety, my ADHD, my trauma. But what happens when those labels start to define us?

In this Thinking Through episode, Jonathan Kindler takes a closer look at the modern pull toward self-diagnosis and mental-health identity. From viral therapy trends to personality quizzes and clinical buzzwords, he explores why naming our struggles feels validating—and why it can quietly become the story we live by.

Blending humor, cultural insight, and Scripture, Jonathan unpacks how labels can help us understand our pain without becoming our name. He points to a gospel identity that doesn’t shift with our symptoms—and offers the one thing every label can’t: permanence.

This episode invites you to rethink the way you see yourself—and to find freedom in a name that doesn’t change with your diagnosis

Why does gratitude leak so easily?

In this episode, Jonathan Kindler explores why thankfulness fades—not because we stop meaning it, but because life keeps moving—and how Scripture trains us to remember before it does. From Moses’ warning, “forget not the LORD” (Deuteronomy 8:11), to David preaching to his own soul (Psalm 103:2), to stones of remembrance (Joshua 4:6–7) and the Table of remembrance (Luke 22:19), he shows how God builds memory into our rhythms so mercy doesn’t get buried by the inbox. Along the way, you’ll hear a candid story about a front yard “Ebenezer,” and why repetition—ask, remember, give thanks—rewires the heart (Philippians 4:6–7; James 1:23–24).

If you’ve ever meant to say “thank You” and just… didn’t get around to it, this conversation gives you anchors and one simple challenge to help gratitude become more than a moment—so grace turns into memory, and memory into worship.

Even when we know we should be thankful, something in us still whispers, I deserve better.

In this episode, Jonathan Kindler explores how pride, comparison, and unmet expectations keep gratitude from taking root. From Cain’s resentment to the prodigal’s older brother, Scripture shows how entitlement twists worship into accusation. Through storytelling, reflection, and five biblical anchors, Jonathan helps listeners see why gratitude isn’t weakness—it’s the way humility remembers grace.

This isn’t about lowering your standards; it’s about lifting your eyes.

Because thanksgiving and entitlement can’t sit at the same table.

Why does complaining come so naturally — and gratitude feel like work?

In this immersive opening to this series on thankfulness, Jonathan Kindler unpacks what gratitude is really pushing back against. From the murmuring of Israel in the wilderness to Paul and Silas singing in a prison cell, this episode explores why unthankfulness isn’t just a bad habit—it’s a worldview. Through scripture, storytelling, and personal reflection (including a marathon gone sideways), Jonathan shows how complaint reshapes the soul, while gratitude restores perspective and peace.

You’ll hear how comparison sabotages joy, why gratitude is structural—not cosmetic—and five anchors that hold when thankfulness feels impossible. More than positive thinking, this is worship in motion: learning to turn back, to name grace, and to enter God’s gates with thanks again.

What do you do when someone’s pain starts naming them?

In this Walking With episode, Jonathan equips you for the moments across the table, when a friend, spouse, or student says the quiet sentence beneath their story: “Maybe I’m not worth much.” Drawing from 2 Timothy 2 and a composite case vignette, he shows how trauma doesn’t just hurt, it scripts identity, and how a servant’s posture (gentle, patient, apt to teach) creates space for truth to enter.

With Scripture, clear categories, and a step-by-step framework, Jonathan walks through listening for the lie, naming it without shame, meeting it with a fitly spoken word, helping rehearse truth, and staying patient while God gives sight. You’ll also get pitfalls to avoid and simple, doable practices you can hand someone the same day.

Whether you’re a pastor, counselor, small-group leader, parent, or friend, this episode gives you language and tools to walk with the wounded and to offer truth that frees rather than fixes.

What if healing doesn’t mean erasing the past, but walking forward with it?

In this episode, Jonathan explores the question at the heart of trauma recovery: Can I ever really be whole again? Through the story of Jacob’s limp, Paul’s thorn, and even the scars of Jesus, he shows that wholeness isn’t about being spotless, it’s about being redeemed. With Scripture, storytelling, and honest reflection, he offers five anchors for life after the wound, reminding us that scars are testimonies, limps are reminders of God’s presence, and healing is the miracle of becoming new, even when the marks remain.

If you’ve ever wondered whether the limp you carry disqualifies you, this conversation reminds you that God doesn’t waste it. He redeems it.

What happens when pain doesn’t just hurt you, but names you?

In this episode, Jonathan traces how trauma writes identity-level stories we start to live by. Through the voices we carry from childhood and the labels that settle on us, he shows why those quiet sentences become the lens for everything. With Scripture, storytelling, and pastoral clarity, he walks through Gideon’s fear, the Samaritan woman’s shame, and five practical anchors that help you name the lie, tell the truth, and receive who God says you are.

If you’ve ever felt defined by “Too Much,” “Not Enough,” or “Unlovable,” this conversation invites you to reframe the story and rest in an identity secured by Christ.
