Clayton KrabyScripture calls us to give thanks in all circumstances. Unfortunately, it’s far easier to grumble when things are hard. In fact, our guest considers thanksgiving to be a lost spiritual discipline. While thanksgiving is found throughout the Bible, all of us could use some help in cultivating this attitude in our daily lives.
Listen as we speak with recovering pessimist Dustin Crowe about how we can move from having a habit of grumbling to one of gratitude and thanksgiving – no matter our circumstances.
On this episode we discuss:
- Why it’s easy for even Christians to fall into a habit of grumbling
- The importance of thanksgiving in the Bible
- Four key elements of Biblical thanksgiving
- How having a spirit of gratitude helps us walk through hard times
- Practical steps we can take to become more thankful people
