Why does gratitude leak so easily?

In this episode, Jonathan Kindler explores why thankfulness fades—not because we stop meaning it, but because life keeps moving—and how Scripture trains us to remember before it does. From Moses’ warning, “forget not the LORD” (Deuteronomy 8:11), to David preaching to his own soul (Psalm 103:2), to stones of remembrance (Joshua 4:6–7) and the Table of remembrance (Luke 22:19), he shows how God builds memory into our rhythms so mercy doesn’t get buried by the inbox. Along the way, you’ll hear a candid story about a front yard “Ebenezer,” and why repetition—ask, remember, give thanks—rewires the heart (Philippians 4:6–7; James 1:23–24).

If you’ve ever meant to say “thank You” and just… didn’t get around to it, this conversation gives you anchors and one simple challenge to help gratitude become more than a moment—so grace turns into memory, and memory into worship.

Why does complaining come so naturally — and gratitude feel like work?

In this immersive opening to this series on thankfulness, Jonathan Kindler unpacks what gratitude is really pushing back against. From the murmuring of Israel in the wilderness to Paul and Silas singing in a prison cell, this episode explores why unthankfulness isn’t just a bad habit—it’s a worldview. Through scripture, storytelling, and personal reflection (including a marathon gone sideways), Jonathan shows how complaint reshapes the soul, while gratitude restores perspective and peace.

You’ll hear how comparison sabotages joy, why gratitude is structural—not cosmetic—and five anchors that hold when thankfulness feels impossible. More than positive thinking, this is worship in motion: learning to turn back, to name grace, and to enter God’s gates with thanks again.
