Gratitude is more than delighting in a gift; it is a feeling of happiness directed toward a person for giving you something good. Growing in our ability to consistently be grateful and express gratitude is not only life-changing but is part of becoming a mature disciple of Jesus.This episode of the Everyday Disciple Podcast examines the connection between gratitude, grace, and the Gospel. Youâll discover how expressing gratitude for the giverânot just the good giftâconnects our hearts deeper to that person and is a picture of the gospel in and of itself.Think of the godliest people you know, the people you most respect, other mature Believers you want to emulate and imitate. Almost certainly, the people you are thinking of are grateful people. Cynics, complainers, and critics may be popular on social media and late-night television, but they do not make great heroes of the faith.In This Episode Youâll Learn: How expressing gratitude actually changes us physically. What a lack of gratitude and a tendency to focus on the negative leads to. How even spending a few minutes with a truly grateful person changes lives. Immediate, hand-held steps you can take to grow in expressing gratitude.

Church doctrines of grace and salvation can sometimes hinder us from fostering the expectation that we should be and make disciples.
