Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
In this episode of the Redeemed & Restored Podcast, Mike Noland explores the life-changing impact of gratitude in recovery and why a thankful heart is one of the greatest defenses against discouragement, bitterness, and relapse. Through personal testimony, biblical teaching, and practical encouragement, you'll discover how gratitude shifts our focus from what we've lost to what God has done, helps us remember His faithfulness, and produces joy even in difficult seasons.
Most importantly, this episode points beyond recovery to the Gospel itself. The greatest reason for gratitude is not sobriety, restored relationships, or answered prayers. It is Jesus Christ. The cross reminds us that while we were still sinners, Christ died for us, and because of His grace we have been forgiven, redeemed, and made alive. If you've been struggling to see God's goodness, this episode will encourage you to remember His faithfulness and respond with a heart full of gratitude.
