Episode 275 // Sometimes, we find our greatest motivation in a reality check about life. And that is my goal in today’s episode: not to discourage, but to encourage all of us to work intentionally on our grumbling hearts.

And we’ll find that encouragement with a reality check about how our grumbling - and our gratitude! - impacts the people we love the most.

Last week, we looked at a biblical basis for working on this issue in our lives. But today, we’re going to look around us. At our families. Our homes. Our kids. Our marriages.

Because the reality is, our grumbling is impacting our families. We don’t need to beat ourselves up about it, but we can find motivation to address this issue in our hearts when we realize the impact it can have (that we might not even realize).

Join me in Part 2 of our series on Gratitude Over Grumbling. Let’s dive in.

hugs & blessings,

Jess
