Welcome to the Paul Tripp podcast, where pastor and best-selling author Paul David Tripp

connects the transforming power of Jesus Christ to everyday life.

Today, we share a special Thanksgiving reflection from Paul that invites us to cultivate

grateful hearts by recognizing God's presence, provision, and goodness in every season.

Happy Thanksgiving.

Happy Thanksgiving from Paul, Luella, and the team at Paul Tripp Ministries.

At Paul Tripp Ministries, we are deeply aware that ministry is never an individual pursuit,

nor is it even just a team endeavor.

Rather, the success of our mission, connecting the transforming power of Jesus Christ to everyday life,

is only possible because God has raised up a community of faithful friends and partners like you from around the world.

This Thanksgiving, we thank you for, number one,

praying for Paul, Luella, and our team. Please pray that Paul would live what he teaches.

Pray for Paul and Luella's health, physically and body, relationally with each other, and spiritually

with the Lord. And pray for our team, now 14 strong, that God would bless our efforts as we share Paul's

biblical teaching. Number two, sharing our resources with others. Every time you forward a Wednesday's

word, share a podcast or post, use a video series in your group or church, or give books to others.

You partner with us as we encourage someone with the right here, right now,

gospel message. Number three, financially supporting our nonprofit ministry. We delight in giving

away gospel resources completely free, but that requires the financial generosity of others.

As you're able and feel led, please remember Paul Trent Ministries in your year-end generosity planning.

To conclude, I want to share a brief devotional from Paul on gratitude.

The best way to defeat the dangerous potential of complaint is not by silence, but by praise.
