The same phone that pulls your attention in a dozen directions is also holding dozens of reasons to be thankful. Today I'm going to show you where to find them.

When the Thanksgiving table is cleared and the inbox fills back up, that thankful feeling can fade fast. This episode offers a fresh way to hold on to it, using a tool you carry everywhere. You'll explore why a lack of gratitude is often less about a hard heart and more about a short memory, and what Psalm 103:2 reveals about choosing to remember God's goodness. You'll also discover three simple ways to turn your phone into a daily gratitude tool, each taking five minutes or less. This conversation will help you turn ordinary screen time into a reminder of God's kindness.
