Podcasts about Thankful

Here's a tough question: are you more apt to express your appreciation, or do you always find reasons to complain? For many people, an attitude of thankfulness doesn't come naturally. So on this episode of The Verdict, Pastor John Munro explains why we always have reasons to give thanks.

One of the most difficult—but rewarding—decisions a leader will ever make is to honestly confront themselves on their part in a relationship or organizational problem.

Have you noticed that some people never have anything positive to say? It's amazing how quick we are to complain when we're inconvenienced or things aren't exactly as we'd prefer.

Welcome to the final episode of Exploring Romans! In this concluding devotional (Day 177), Pastor Jason Van Bemmel of Forest Hill Presbyterian Church walks us through Romans Chapter 16. In this episode, we cover: The Saints of Rome: Paul's extensive greetings highlight the many dedicated individuals who worked hard to support his ministry. This demonstrates that the vital work of the church relies on every member contributing. Women in the Early Church: Pastor Jason emphasizes the prominent service of women in the early church, such as Phoebe, Prisca, Mary, and Junia. He addresses the specific translation regarding Junia, clarifying that she was well-known to the apostles, rather than being a female apostle herself. He also cautions against forcing egalitarian theology into the text. Warnings Against Division: The episode explores Paul's strong warning against egotistical people who use smooth talk and flattery to create obstacles and divisions. These individuals serve their own appetites instead of serving Christ. The Final Doxology: The letter concludes with a powerful benediction praising the eternal God who strengthens believers through the gospel of Jesus Christ. These devotionals were originally presented as part of "Walking with Jesus through the Bible," a three-year journey through the whole Word of God (2022–2024).

The command to be thankful and give thanks is overwhelmingly one of the most repeated commands in Scripture. Thankfulness is an exercise of the will that helps us see life more from God's perspective. It becomes an antidote to bitterness, and the more we practice it, the more we strengthen and develop that seed of thankfulness in our lives.

This one is all about that attitude of gratitude. We're going way beyond forcing our cherubs to say 'thank you', this is a deep dive into raising our children to have thankful hearts. Scientifically proven and Biblically approved... Thankful kids are happier kids. Fact!Dr Anika is back and this one is her favourite topic. She takes us on the three step gratitude journey: See it!  Savour it! Say it! Ed is doing it in an Aussie accent, Amy can do it with just a glass of water and Anika is riffing off the sound of music, while her dog wees under the stars.And our favourite line, "Every good thing comes from God with a label that says 'I love you'". Anika lives in Cambridge with her husband Matt, their six children and lively chocolate labrador. She works as a pastoral counsellor and tutors for Biblical Counselling UK. Having previously worked as a doctor she is now training in child and adolescent psychotherapeutic counselling. In her spare time she likes to crochet or write poetry. Find out more about Looking to God: Mental Wellbeing in the Psalms.  

I invited Dr. Patrick Mason on to discuss reframing faith in the complex history of religion. He iis a historian and theologian at Utah State University, and discusses the evolution of his career from academic research to pastoral writing aimed at those navigating faith crises. He reflects on the limitations of a transactional approach to religion, suggesting instead that individuals must take personal accountability for their spiritual lives while remaining part of a community. Mason addresses difficult historical and moral issues, such as slavery and the priesthood ban, by arguing that past leaders were fallible and that modern believers should engage with the moral complexity of their heritage. He also shares his profound emotional experience studying the Rwandan genocide, using it as a lens to explore the problem of evil and the role of God in a suffering world. Throughout the conversation, he emphasizes the importance of creating safe spaces for honest questioning and wrestling with doubt. Ultimately, Mason advocates for a broad and inclusive religious tent where the focus remains on a faithful God rather than the perfection of human messengers. He is the author of Planted and Restoration.   https://youtu.be/c_7JWglAeRY Don’t miss our previous conversation with Patrick: https://gospeltangents.com/people/patrick-mason/ Reframing Faith: Navigating the Moral Complexity of History and Belief We explored the difficult terrain of faith crises, historical trauma, and the transition from a transactional to an authentic spiritual life. Mason, known for his pastoral works like Planted and Restoration, argues that we must move beyond a “vending machine” approach to God to find a more durable and honest faith. The Trap of the Transactional God Many believers grow up with an “illusion of contract,” believing that specific acts of obedience—like paying tithing or accepting every calling—guarantee divine protection from calamity. Mason points out that when life fails to follow this script, individuals often fall into a “bottomless pit” of self-blame, thinking they simply weren’t “perfect enough.” Drawing on the teachings of the Apostle Paul, Mason emphasizes that we cannot reach God purely through the law; instead, we must take individual authority over our spiritual lives while remaining anchored in a community that “decenters the ego.” Confronting the “Moral Complexity” of History One of the most challenging aspects of a faith journey involves reconciling modern morality with the actions of past leaders, particularly regarding issues like slavery and the priesthood ban. Mason addresses the “trap of presentism”—the idea that we shouldn’t judge the past by modern standards—by noting that even in the 19th century, there were voices like Orson Pratt who critiqued slavery as an offense to our theology using the scriptures available at the time. Furthermore, Rick challenges the historical justification that the priesthood ban was necessary for the Church’s survival, noting that other restoration branches never implemented such bans. Patrick invites us to imagine a history where Brigham Young chose “radical racial inclusion” based on the Book of Mormon’s teaching that “all are alike unto God,” suggesting the Church might have been generations ahead in its global mission. Facing Evil and Prophetic Fallibility Mason's reflections on the 1994 Rwanda genocide serve as a sobering lens for the “problem of evil.” After visiting massacre sites in Rwandan churches, he described the experience as a confrontation with “satanic” evil that defies easy theological answers and forces us to ask, “Where was God?” This recognition of human darkness extends to his view of prophetic fallibility. Mason asserts that while prophets are “reliable guides,” they are not infallible and do not claim to be. He believes it is a mistake to treat the scriptures or prophetic statements as inerrant, noting that salvation comes through Jesus Christ alone, not through the perfection of his messengers. Creating Spaces to Wrestle with Faith To help others navigate these complexities, Mason and his wife hosted a student group in their home for years, providing a space for open gospel conversations without “guard rails.” He found that when people are given the space to wrestle with difficult questions—ranging from LGBTQ+ issues to church history—they often discover their own spiritual authority and wisdom. Ultimately, Mason suggests that the most foundational Christian covenant is not a litmus test of witnessing, but the commitment to “mourn with those that mourn” and “bear one another's burdens.” By creating spaces where people feel heard and validated, the community can move toward a more authentic and loving practice of the gospel.

Welcome to the grand finale of Season 9 (2025-2026) of the Nichel Anderson Short Stories And Beyond podcast!

In this episode of Wake Up, Look Up, Pastor Zach explores how growing anxiety about the future–from economic uncertainty to political tension and cultural instability–is shaping major life decisions, including whether people choose to start families. He unpacks how faith in the sovereignty of God gives Christians a different foundation–one marked by peace, trust, and confidence that God is in control even when the world feels uncertain. Pastor Zach encourages listeners to pause and recognize the often-overlooked ways the gospel has already shaped their lives, reminding us that true rest is found in trusting the one who holds it all together.Have an article you'd like Pastor Zach to discuss?
