Gratitude as a Spiritual Discipline

Happy Thanksgiving, everyone! Some days it is easy to be thankful, but other days it feels impossible. When life hurts and feels overwhelming, how can we possibly express gratitude, joy, or thanksgiving? Today we discuss the idea that gratitude is a spiritual discipline, not just a feeling? This episode of the Radically Christian Bible Study was recorded with a live audience. It includes real-time insights and reflections from the audience, making it a dynamic exploration of how gratitude can transform our spiritual lives.We explore several passages from the book of Philippians. Drawing from Paul's example of being joyful and thankful even while imprisoned, we discuss how gratitude is more than a feeling—it's an intentional practice rooted in faith and trust in God's goodness. You'll hear practical ideas for cultivating a mindset of thankfulness, regardless of your circumstances, and come away with a renewed sense of how gratitude can deepen your relationship with God and reflect his love to the world.Links and Resources:* Sponsor: Freed Hardeman University* ThanksLiving Sermon Sermon Series* Logos Bible Software - Extended Free Trial (https://logos.sjv.io/GmAdQk)* VidAngel - Free Trial (https://vidangel.pxf.io/DKPWPy)Note: Some links are affiliate links.
