Episode 33 - Cultivating a Heart of Gratitude

Bible Braced

Odds are you aren't very happy with your current life. Maybe your career hasn't turned out the way you imagined, or your marriage is not as exciting as you'd always dreamed. Tell me- honestly - if you could completely re-haul your home at no cost, what kind of major changes have you been longing for?
Most of us don't sit around thanking God for His care and provision - In fact most of the time our prayers (if we make them) sound much more like to-do lists than praise services! Lets spend some time studying what God has to say about gratitude and thanksgiving, and see if we can break some ungodly habits and give our Great and Amazing God a small amount of the praise He deserves from us!!

I hope you're ready to be challenged in your thinking as we explore these topics together. We'll get into the Word and consider these things and what it means for our lives and practice!
We hope you'll be uplifted and encouraged by what the Bible has to say and that you'll come back with us week after week as we continue to learn and grow together!
