Podcasts about thankfulness

It’s easy to express gratitude when life feels full and blessings are obvious. But what about when our kindness is rejected or our good intentions are met with anger? In today’s prayer and devotion, Rachael Adams, host of The Love Offering, reminds us that gratitude is not dependent on others’ responses — it’s rooted in our relationship with God. After an act of compassion was met with hostility, Rachael wrestled with disappointment and confusion. Yet this moment mirrors a deeper truth seen in the story of Jesus healing the ten lepers (Luke 17:11–19). Only one returned to thank Him — and though all received healing, only the grateful one experienced the fullness of spiritual restoration. God invites us to live with hearts of thankfulness, not for what we receive in return from others, but because of who He is and all He has done for us. Gratitude aligns our hearts with God’s goodness, reminding us that every act of kindness is ultimately an act of worship. Today's Bible Reading:“Let the message of Christ dwell among you richly as you teach and admonish one another with all wisdom through psalms, hymns, and songs from the Spirit, singing to God with gratitude in your hearts. And whatever you do, whether in word or deed, do it all in the name of the Lord Jesus, giving thanks to God the Father through him.” – Colossians 3:16–17

This November, we're slowing down and leaning in to gratitude. Each week, we're taking time to intentionally look for things we're thankful for — the big things that take our breath away, the little things that make us smile, and even the hard-to-see things that stretch and shape us.Thankfulness changes the way we see the world. It grounds us when life feels chaotic, reminds us that good still exists, and shifts our focus from what's missing to what's present. Gratitude doesn't ignore pain or difficulty — it helps us find beauty in the middle of it.Join us each week this month as we reflect, laugh, and get real about what it looks like to live with thankful hearts, one moment at a time.New episodes are uploaded weekly on Saturday mornings at 7am Pacific / 10am EasternSupport us and the LeggLife Podcast by becoming a patron at ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠  / legglife  ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Learn more about LeggLife by following us on:YouTube: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠http://www.youtube.com/legglifeak/?su...⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Instagram: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠  / legglifeak  ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Facebook: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠  / legglife  ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠You can reach us via email at legglife@gmail.com

In this episode of the Jewish Inspiration Podcast, Rabbi Aryeh Wolbe delves into day 101 of his series on "Orchis Tzadikim" (Ways of the Righteous), focusing on the trait of remembrance (Zechira) as a vessel for all mitzvot and Torah. He connects it to biblical references like Tzitzit and Tefillin, which serve as reminders to fulfill God's commandments. Rabbi Wolbe highlights the "Six Constant Mitzvos" from Rabbi Yitzchak Berkowitz's teachings—faith in God, rejecting other gods, God's oneness, love and fear of God, and avoiding stray thoughts—as remembrances achievable every moment. He introduces 30 daily remembrances to foster divine favor but details only the first four: God's creation of humanity from nothing, granting health, bestowing wisdom, and providing the Torah as a life manual. Interwoven with personal stories, such as appreciating the present moment and gratitude for life's gifts, the episode emphasizes constant thankfulness to God for existence, health, intellect, and spiritual guidance.Recorded at TORCH Centre in the Levin Family Studios (B) to a live audience on March 24, 2025, in Houston, Texas.Released as Podcast on October 31, 2025_____________This series on Orchos Tzadikim/Ways of the Righteous is produced in partnership with Hachzek.Join the revolution of daily Mussar study at hachzek.com.We are using the Treasure of Life edition of the Orchos Tzadikkim (Published by Feldheim)_____________Listen, Subscribe & Share: Apple Podcasts: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/jewish-inspiration-podcast-rabbi-aryeh-wolbe/id1476610783Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/4r0KfjMzmCNQbiNaZBCSU7) to stay inspired! Share your questions at aw@torchweb.org or visit torchweb.org for more Torah content.  _____________About the Host:Rabbi Aryeh Wolbe, Director of TORCH in Houston, brings decades of Torah scholarship to guide listeners in applying Jewish wisdom to daily life.  To directly send your questions, comments, and feedback, please email: awolbe@torchweb.org_____________Support Our Mission:Our Mission is Connecting Jews & Judaism.

Fall is a popular time to start thinking about thankfulness. Thankful, Grateful, Blessed is on every mug, pillow, and sweater. What's not to love about gratefulness? Talk to a random person on the street and ask them if they think gratefulness matters and they will almost certainly say yes. But what is thankfulness? How is Christian thankfulness distinct from secular thankfulness? Why is the object of our gratitude far more important than the expression of our gratitude? With our own children, how do we help them think about gratitude in the context of being creatures made by a good and powerful creator? What are some ideas for helping kids to grow in gratitude practically? Join for a conversation about gratitude with blogger, songwriter, author, and homeschool mama Allison Brost. Allison writes at her blog This Side of Perfect and recently published Grateful: 30 Days of Growing in Thankfulness with the Good Book Company. 

Thankfulness benefits our relationships with God and people, improves our mental and emotional well-being, and it invites God's grace into our lives.

LESSON 298I Love You, Father, And I Love Your Son.My gratitude permits my love to be accepted without fear. And thus am I restored to my Reality at last. All that intruded on my holy sight forgiveness takes away. And I draw near the end of senseless journeys, mad careers and artificial values. I accept instead what God establishes as mine, sure that in that alone I will be saved; sure that I go through fear to meet my Love.Father, I come to You today, because I would not follow any way but Yours. You are beside me. Certain is Your way. And I am grateful for Your holy gifts of certain sanctuary, and escape from everything that would obscure my love for God my Father and His holy Son.- Jesus Christ in ACIM

Welcome to A Voice in the Desert. Today's message is “Cultivating Gratitude: Embracing a Heart of Thankfulness.” The Bible says, “Give thanks in all circumstances” (1 Thessalonians 5:18).

Thankfulness for what God has done. Please click here for the Youtube video.

True contentment is not passive acceptance but an active, Spirit-led disposition of peace, submission, and thankfulness that rejects the insatiable hunger of covetousness. Discontent is manifested by murmuring and complaining and is not only spiritually destructive but offensive to God, as it reflects a lack of trust in His provision and wisdom. Thankfulness is the key to being truly content, because it transforms our perspective to recognize God's daily blessings, even in hardship, and brings inner peace and satisfaction. We must intentionally cultivate gratitude, to view material needs as sufficient, and to find joy in the assurance of God's faithful care.

What is your heart reaction when trials come in your lives? Okay, now that you know how you should answer, ask how you genuinely react when trials come your way, and then tune in to hear how Paul and Silas responded. If we're only thankful when things go our way, we're missing the point of unconditional gratitude.

The Scripture readings are Proverbs 4:10-23; Galatians 5:16-24; and Luke 17:11-19.Through faith can you give thanks in all circumstances (1 Th. 5:18). You can always give thanks – even if God takes His gifts from you. Because through faith, you know His goodness does not change. 

We conclude the “koinonia” lifestyle today. It includes sharing out Testimony (declaring the good things God is doing in our lives), our Touch (befriending one another), our Treasures (sharing our finance and “treasures” with the saints, our “over the top” Thankfulness to our husbands, children, and those around us, and dropping seeds of Truth into the lives of all we come in contact with.

In this sermon, we open our series through the book of Colossians as a church body. Paul is thankful for the faithfulness of the Colossian church. He knows the work of Christ in and through this body and that leads him to give thanks to God. May we be encouraged to faithfulness in Christ and praise Him for His work through the church!

Dr. Darlene discusses the importance of the heart of gratitude.

Thankfulness is a central characteristic of the believer; is it evident in your life? Pastor Lance teaches from 1 Thessalonians and other Scripture that a thankful heart reveals my conversion to Christ and my commitment to the will of God.Visit us at www.ccc-online.org to hear more messages and learn more about our ministry.
