Episode 45: The State of Gratitude — What Fiji Taught Me About Faith

Margi Nazario Ruiz

Sometimes God doesn’t need a stage to speak, just your surrender!
In this heartfelt episode, you’ll hear how a trip to Fiji turned from a simple getaway into a divine revelation about gratitude, peace, and presence. From worshiping through sickness to witnessing unshakable joy in a small island church, this story reminds us that gratitude isn’t a reaction, it’s a rhythm.

Discover the four pillars that keep life grounded (God, Family, Community, and Land), how silence can become sacred, and why peace isn’t found in a place but in a posture.

If you’ve been craving calm, clarity, or a closer connection with God, this episode will inspire you to pause, breathe, and thank Him right where you are.
🎧 Listen now and learn how to live in a true state of gratitude.
