Listen "Thankful for Struggles"
Episode Synopsis
As Thanksgiving nears, Andy flips the script on gratitude with 2 Corinthians 12:9–10: what if we could honestly thank God for our struggles? In this soul-steadying episode, he unpacks how hardship can become holy ground—forming resilience, deepening wisdom, and drawing us closer to the power of Christ. From OCD battles to practical tools (breathwork, journaling, grounding), Andy shows how lessons learned in the dark become lanterns for others. He also corrects the cliché—“God won’t give you more than you can handle”—pointing to Moses, Joshua, and David to remind us: God may give us more than we can handle, but never more than He can.In this episode:Why gospel gratitude includes saying “thank You” for trialsHow struggles forge strength and equip us to help othersPractical ways to notice God’s nearness in the storm (pray, write it down, remember His deliverance)The joy on the far side of perseverance—and why overcoming magnifies God’s gloryIf your table talk feels thin this year, let grace widen it: your struggle isn’t punishment—it’s a platform for God’s power.From Guilt to Grace offers spiritual encouragement and personal reflections. It is not professional therapy or medical care. If you need clinical support, please seek a licensed mental health professional.
