Ep.223 Why Christians Must Be Thankful — God’s Will for Gratitude In this episode, Ekkie and Nathaniel examine why Scripture commands Christians to be thankful and how gratitude is the will of God for every believer (1 Thes 5.18). They unpack the biblical foundations of thanksgiving, confront the sin of ingratitude, and call believers to live lives marked by obedient, God-honoring gratitude — not emotion-driven thankfulness, but worship rooted in truth.
