Cornelius Plantinga: Thanksgiving is a Practice


To listen to this or any of our episodes in full, visit ttf.org/podcasts and to help make content like this possible, join the Trinity Forum Society.

Thanksgiving is much more than a holiday. The practice of gratitude is a biblical command, it’s a Christian virtue, and it’s even one of the best predictors of personal well-being. 

But what does the practice of thanks-giving require? How can we cultivate a spirit and habit of thankfulness with the burdens we bear as individuals, and amidst the sorrows and injustices of a fallen world?

Join us in this episode in discovering formative practices from our Christian tradition that can help each of us cultivate a deeply thankful heart. 

Together we’ll be guided by Cornelius (Neal) Plantinga, theologian and author of Gratitude: Why Giving Thanks Is the Key to Our Well-Being.

“Gratitude makes me content because gratitude makes what I have enough.”

This episode is drawn from an online conversation held in 2025.

Become a Trinity Forum Society member and join us in exploring timeless Christian wisdom together, so you gain clarity and courage for your own life, and help cultivate a renewed culture of hope.
