About this episode
John celebrates Become New’s five-year anniversary and reflects on how this ministry was born not from strategy, but from confusion, loss, and unexpected grace. In this episode, he explores the surprising way suffering and gratitude often intertwine—looking at the Pilgrims’ story and Jesus giving thanks on the night before the cross—and why the deepest gratitude can grow in our hardest moments. Remember your own seasons of pain, and take hope: God was with you then, He is with you now, and He is redeeming all things. Thank God you’re here. 💡 Practice gratitude this week with us. 🙌 New episodes every weekday. 📲 Subscribe, like, and share to help others grow spiritually. One day at a time.
