Ending 2025 - Gratitude That Shapes the Way We Live

The Psychology and Theology of Thankfulness

We invite you to think about gratitude not simply as a feeling, but as a formative practice that shapes our minds, our faith, and our relationship with God. Drawing on both psychological insight and Scripture, this reflection explores how gratitude moves us from anxiety toward peace, helping us live more fully into God’s presence—even in difficult circumstances.
