The practice of gratitude is a biblical command, it’s a Christian virtue, and it’s even one of the best predictors of personal well-being. But what does the practice of thanks-giving require? How can we cultivate a spirit and habit of thankfulness with the burdens we bear as individuals, and amidst the sorrows and injustices of a fallen world?Join us in this episode in discovering formative practices from our Christian tradition that can help each of us cultivate a deeply thankful heart. Together we’ll be guided by Cornelius (Neal) Plantinga, theologian and author of Gratitude: Why Giving Thanks Is the Key to Our Well-Being. “Gratitude makes me content because gratitude makes what I have enough.”This episode is drawn from an online conversation held in 2025. You can find the full video of the conversation on our website, ttf.org. You can become a Trinity Forum Society member there too. Join us in exploring timeless Christian wisdom together, so you gain clarity and courage for your own life, and help cultivate a renewed culture of hope.","thumbnail_url":"https://img.transistorcdn.com/LC6b2lFM_r_3xEJCzvD8r7UblHhgtgss5nBJ4X1mqD4/rs:fill:0:0:1/w:400/h:400/q:60/mb:500000/aHR0cHM6Ly9pbWct/dXBsb2FkLXByb2R1/Y3Rpb24udHJhbnNp/c3Rvci5mbS9zaG93/LzE3OTk3LzE2MTM1/MzUwNjEtYXJ0d29y/ay5qcGc.webp","thumbnail_width":300,"thumbnail_height":300}
