Episode 425: Thanksgiving Is An Antidote for Anxiety

As Thanksgiving goes up, anxiety goes down. Today Gene reminds us that gratitude and anxiety can’t coexist. Anxiety is a future fear that may or may not happen. Gratitude is about present blessings and you can’t live in both worlds at the same time. God doesn’t want us to live in anxiety, he wants us to live life to the fullness. Happiness doesn’t make you grateful; gratefulness makes you happy.Pursuing God with Gene Appel is designed to help you pursue God, build community, and unleash compassion. Grounded in Scripture and shaped by Eastside’s conviction that God’s grace is for everyone, each episode invites you to discover God’s presence and activity in your life.
