About this episode

The episode discusses how shifting your perspective through gratitude can transform your experience of life and faith.

What if the way you see your life could shift — not because your circumstances change but because your perspective does? In this powerful and story-rich episode, Cailah Garcia and Kaley Olson sit down with longtime friend of Proverbs 31 Ministries Sharon Jaynes to talk about the life-changing impact of gratitude. With humor, honesty, and deeply moving personal stories (including a travel day gone completely wrong), Sharon shares how gratitude isn’t just a feeling — it’s a practice that can reshape how we experience God in our everyday lives. If you’ve been feeling frustrated, overwhelmed, or stuck in a cycle of negativity, this conversation will gently reframe your perspective and remind you that even in hard moments, God is still at work. You’ll learn: Why gratitude is less about your circumstances and more about your perspective. How gratitude helps you recognize God’s presence — even in difficult moments. How your attitude can impact the people around you more than you realize. Simple, practical ways to build a daily habit of gratitude (that actually stick).
