Send us your thoughts through Fan MailSummer Series - Episode 3 of 7Gratitude may not seem like a typical coping skill—but it absolutely is, especially for the Christian soul. In this episode of Healthy & Redeemed, I’ll share how intentional thankfulness can change your brain, shift your mood, and anchor your heart in God’s goodness. You’ll learn what Scripture says about gratitude, when and how to practice it, and why staying in your own lane matters. We’ll even practice together as we let our thanks turn into worship. Let’s train our minds to see the gifts—and the Giver—more clearly every day. Resources:C.S.
