When your heart is breaking, what does it look like to notice God's goodness? Can gratitude grow in the soil of deep grief?
In this episode of the Live Like It's True podcast, I'm talking with Allison Brost—who lost a child—about how grief and gratitude can intertwine in the most unexpected ways. Listen in as we talk about the healing power of gratitude in the story of the one leper who turned back to thank Jesus. Even in your sorrow, there’s an invitation to return to God with a grateful heart.
