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.
