Start here if you need a reset for your heart. Lauren takes us into 1 Thessalonians 5:18 and draws a clear, life-giving line between being thankful for everything and being thankful in everything. That single shift reframes tough days, ordinary routines, and major transitions by anchoring us in God’s steady goodness rather than our shifting circumstances. If gratitude has felt like a seasonal slogan, this conversation offers a simple way to make it a daily practice.

We walk through what gratitude does to our perspective, how it reveals God’s faithfulness in small details, and why it’s not spiritual denial to name what’s hard while still choosing thanks. You’ll hear a practical, repeatable exercise—write five specific things you’re grateful for and pray them out loud—that turns vague intentions into a grounded rhythm. Along the way, we explore how gratitude cultivates peace and joy, slows reactive thinking, and strengthens trust when life feels uncertain or heavy.

Whether you’re navigating stress, waiting for answers, or craving more joy, this short weekend message invites you to build a lifestyle of thankfulness that lasts beyond the holiday season. We close with a brief prayer and an encouragement to keep going: God isn’t finished writing your story, and gratitude keeps your eyes open to the next grace he gives. If this encourages you, share it with a friend who needs hope, subscribe for more weekend reflections, and leave a review so others can find the show.

Still Standing: Living After the Silence, the Storm, and the Shattered Heart is the powerful second book in the Standing Series. Building on the best-selling Struggle to Standing, this new release guides you through life after heartbreak with hope, healing, and faith. Now available on Amazon in paperback, hardcover.
