We're diving into a gratitude that goes deeper than feelings, a gratitude rooted in Jesus. After hearing a young woman’s story that completely shifted the way she sees her life, we were reminded of what Paul teaches in 1 Thessalonians: gratitude isn’t seasonal or optional. It’s God’s will for us. It begins at the cross, where Jesus has already given us everything we need. When we understand that, we can rejoice always, pray continually, and trust God even when life feels heavy or uncertain.
We look at how Paul and Silas worshiped in their chains, how Jesus gave thanks before suffering, and how gratitude anchors our hearts when life feels ordinary or overwhelming. Gratitude opens our eyes, strengthens our faith, and becomes a witness to those watching our lives. This episode will encourage you to slow down, pay attention, and remember that because Jesus is enough, there’s always a reason to give thanks.
