Trigger Warning: This episode includes conversation about miscarriage. Please listen with care.
This week we sit down with our dear friend—and fellow worship leader—Chad Dodson for an honest, tender, and hope-filled conversation about gratitude when life feels painfully heavy.
Chad shares about leading worship just after his wife suffered a miscarriage, and how singing praise to Jesus became the only way forward. He reminds us that choosing gratitude isn’t pretending everything’s okay—it’s trusting the One who holds every broken piece.
One of our favorite moments in this episode?
Chad’s reminder that “Being a believer isn’t a spectator sport. There are no benches in the Kingdom of Heaven.”
If you’re walking through something hard, feeling spiritually exhausted, or struggling to find anything to be thankful for—this episode will meet you right where you are.
Gratitude is still a verb, even on the days it feels impossible.
And you’re not alone.

Thankful Thursday #2: Gratitude Over Grumbling
“Do everything without grumbling and arguing.” — Philippians 2:14 (CSB)
This Thankful Thursday is all about perspective—choosing gratitude when grumbling feels easier. We all have those moments when frustration wants the final word, but gratitude shifts our focus back to God’s goodness.
When we stop to thank Him, even in the middle of the mess, we start to see how joy and gratitude can grow right where the complaints used to live. 🌿

Monday Minute #7: Faith over Feelings
✨ Monday Minute: Faith Over Feelings ✨
Some days faith feels easy. Other days, our feelings try to take the lead.
This Monday Minute is a gentle reminder that our faith isn’t built on how we feel—it’s built on who God is. When emotions shift, His truth stays steady. So even when your heart wavers, keep choosing faith over feelings. Because peace comes when trust wins. 🌿

Gratitude: It's a Verb
We’re kicking off our November Gratitude Series by slowing down to notice the little things — the small, simple moments that remind us God is near. ☀️
In this episode, we talk about what it means to be grateful in all things — not just the easy ones. Miranda shares about walking through Meniere’s disease, we reflect on how Jesus both lifts our heads and anchors our hearts, and Brooke shares how gratitude, even in suffering, naturally leads us to worship.
Because gratitude isn’t just a feeling — it’s a verb. It’s something we choose, something we practice, and something that draws us closer to the heart of God. 💛

Thankful Thursday #1: Gratitude in the Small Stuff
✨ Thankful Thursday: Gratitude in the Small Stuff ✨
Sometimes gratitude isn’t about the big moments—it’s about the little ones we rush right past.
In this first Thankful Thursday, we’re talking about finding joy in the small stuff: a hot cup of coffee, a kind word, a quiet drive, a prayer answered in an unexpected way. When we slow down long enough to notice, we start to see God’s goodness everywhere.
Take a few minutes to pause, breathe, and thank Him for the ordinary things that make life extraordinary. ☀️
