  • Episode 347: Trusting God Through Gratitude
    Nov 12 2024

    Embracing Gratitude Amidst Anxiety

    In Episode 347 of Transforming Mission’s podcast, we’re continuing to explore the theme of gratitude, particularly from the perspective of trusting in God during times of anxiety and need.

    We recorded this episode during the week of the 2024 Presidential Election and addresses the uncertainty and strong emotions that many are experiencing. By examining Philippians 4:6, we see how gratitude can reframe anxiety into trust.

    In turning our worries into prayers, we shift our focus from the stresses of life to God's unwavering presence and love. With the help of the Stockdale Paradox, we’ll remind you of the importance of holding onto faith while facing reality, and how it strengthens us amid challenging situations.

    Through personal anecdotes, practical advice, and scriptural reflections, this episode encourages listeners to cultivate a gratitude-centered approach to life's anxieties.
