Manage episode 521179871 series 3688892
Have you ever walked through a season where gratitude felt impossible?
Where exhaustion, comparison, or overwhelm drowned out the ability to see anything good?
In today’s episode, we’re talking about the power of gratitude — not the shallow “just be thankful” message the world gives, but the biblical, heart-changing, peace-bringing gift God intended it to be.
Together we’ll explore:
✨ What gratitude really means (and why it’s more than polite thank-yous)
✨ Why God calls us to gratitude, even in the hard seasons
✨ How gratitude rewires your brain and body for peace, joy, and emotional regulation
✨ What gratitude looks like in everyday motherhood, even in the mess and meltdowns
✨ How gratitude helps you overcome comparison
✨ Simple, doable gratitude habits for your daily routine as a busy Christian mom
Gratitude doesn’t ignore the hard — it invites God into it.
It softens your heart, opens your eyes, and becomes the bridge between grace and peace.
If you’ve been stretched thin or craving a fresh perspective… this episode will help you see God’s hand in your home, your motherhood, and your heart again. 💛
