Grateful Hearts

As we walk into the holiday season I know it can be tempting to reach for the melancholy that’s come with years before. Whether it’s been from loss, discord, heartache, or plain old stress… But I believe God has a different invitation for us. We often cling to fear because it’s what we’ve practiced most, but what if we practiced something different?This year, let’s orientate ourselves in real gratefulness, practice the holy, and dig into thanksgiving like it’s your mom’s mashed potatoes or my grandmother’s ginger cakes. Man, nothing can touch those! I pray this episode sparks new hope and possibly a new lens with which to walk through the holidays. I am so grateful for each of you and thank God for this opportunity to pour a little courage back into your heart.As always, please RATE + SUBSCRIBE wherever you listen!
