Listen "5. Why Gratitude Might Just Save Your Life (Eventually)"
Episode Synopsis
In this episode of Thank God You’re Here, John Ortberg invites us to walk through a cemetery—not to be morbid, but to rediscover what matters most. Drawing from Gratitude by Cornelius Plantinga and the Christian tradition of memento mori, we explore how contemplating death doesn’t crush us—it clarifies us. When we face the brevity of life, we’re freed to truly live it. You’ll walk away from this episode with renewed perspective, a soul-level appreciation for life’s daily gifts, and the gentle nudge to live with more gratitude, starting now.💡 Practice gratitude this week with us.🙌 New episodes every weekday.📲 Subscribe, like, and share to help others grow spiritually.
