306 | Learning how to say sorry (so we can say thanks)
Gratitude doesn’t just come from blessings, it can also come from restoration. When God takes what was broken and makes it whole again, you can’t help but be thankful. On this episode, we are exploring how we can find gratitude through recognizing where we've gone wrong and seeking God's guidance and direction in our lives.
We discuss:
We sometimes have a hard time with the word repentance, but repentance is a grace invitation, not a shame sentence.
Gratitude grows out of restoration; when God heals what’s broken, our gratitude naturally follows.
God restores what has been destroyed. Nothing in your life is too lost, too wasted, or too far gone for God to redeem.

305 | Remembering what God has done
Do you ever scroll through old photos and suddenly remember just how far you’ve come? They say hindsight is 20/20, and maybe gratitude is too. What if the secret to being grateful right now is simply remembering how faithful God has been all along? On this episode, we are beginning a series all about gratitude, and starting by remembering what God has done.
We discuss:
Gratitude begins with remembering what God has done
Telling our stories helps us to sustain gratitude and inspire others
Remembering fuels hope - God is the same then, now and forever

304 | How friends can help us find our purpose
Have you ever had one of those moments when you think, “Is this really what God wants me to do?” Maybe it’s a new opportunity, a risky conversation, or a challenge you didn’t ask for. Sometimes God’s call feels like a whisper that upends everything, and yet, it might be exactly what we were made for. On this episode, we're exploring how our friends and Christian community can help us to hear God’s voice and find our purpose.
We discuss:
The story of Esther and how her courage reminds us that God calls us to act
How community helps us discern God’s voice and live out our calling together
Encouragement to say “yes” to God’s nudges in our lives
A fun way to explore the story of Esther (Pastor Bruce’s favorite!):
