Thanksgiving Encouragement: Why I Thank God for You

This Thanksgiving, my heart is full — not because life is perfect, but because God has been faithful in the middle of every chaotic, ordinary, exhausting moment.

In this heartfelt episode, I share the deeper story behind Thanksgiving that we don’t always talk about — the hardship, the sacrifice, the survival, and the unexpected help that made that first celebration possible. And woven through it all is a reminder we all need this season: gratitude is born in the hard places, not the easy ones.

I also open up about my own “Thanksgiving miracle,” the promise God fulfilled in my life the week my daughter came home from the NICU — a story that still reminds me every year that God finishes what He starts.

If you’ve been weary, overwhelmed, or stretched thin…

If you want to enter this holiday with a heart full of peace instead of pressure…

If you just need to feel seen, encouraged, and prayed for…

Friend, this episode is for you.
