Show Notes

Happy Thanksgiving, guys!

Before we dive into turkey, football, and pumpkin pie, let’s take a second to remember what we’re even celebrating in the first place—gratitude for all of the AMAZING gifts God has given to us. Even if you have had a very tough year, there are still fantastic blessings that the Lord has placed in your life.

You may not realize this, but we actually OWE gratitude to God and the people around us, and that is a fantastic thing!

In this one-on-one episode, I talk about the Christian roots of Thanksgiving, my recent AWESOME visit to Colby, Kansas, why practicing gratitude really RESHAPES our lives, and why just “being a good person” without God doesn’t cut it. Plus, we dive into a spicy Q & A session where I respond to some of your comments and questions on my recent videos.

Don’t miss this uplifting and inspiring episode to get your mind and heart right before going into the holiday weekend. Happy Thanksgiving, and may your heart be filled with gratitude and JOY!
