Part One — “Thanksgiving When Gratitude Is Hard”

Описание: In this Part 1 of our Q&A series, Pastor Ralph and James lean into a tender theme: Thanksgiving when gratitude is hard. If the holidays stirred up pain, loneliness, or the weight of “I didn’t do enough this year,” this conversation is for you. Together, we unpack honest questions and anchor them in Scripture, hope, and practical perspective.

What we cover

“How can I be thankful when this year was so painful?”—gratitude as a doorway to healing, not denial

“Why does Thanksgiving make me feel lonely?”—God’s nearness to the brokenhearted, and reframing loss with hope

“What if I didn’t accomplish what I hoped?”—God measures by direction, not deadlines

Key takeaways

Gratitude doesn’t pretend; it recognizes God’s goodness even when life hurts

Holidays often magnify what our heart is already feeling—God meets us there

Forward is forward—even slow progress honors God
