What if the most transformative gratitude practice isn’t a list… but a story?
In this episode, we explore the science and the soul of gratitude — and why the moments that truly change us are the ones we return to again and again. The close calls. The unexpected blessings. The times someone showed up for you in a way you’ll never forget. These stories don’t just warm the heart… they rewire it.
You’ll learn why story-based gratitude activates deeper emotional circuits in the brain, creates heart coherence, expands your sense of connection, and shifts you into a state where anxiety quiets and well-being rises. And you’ll be invited into a gentle, guided reflection to help you find your own “gratitude anthem” — a story you can keep on repeat, one that opens your heart every time you revisit it.
This episode weaves together personal experiences, spiritual insight, and research from neuroscience to show you the profound impact a single story can have on your physiology, your perspective, and your ability to feel God’s presence in your life.
By the end, you won’t just understand gratitude — you’ll feel it.
