There is a difference between saying “thank you” and living a life of gratitude.

In this episode of Planted in Purpose: A Kingdom Building Podcast, Sheri D. Neely leads a powerful and timely conversation on what it truly means to cultivate a heart of gratitude, not as a reaction to circumstances, but as a consistent posture before God.

Building on the foundation of forgiveness from the previous episode, this message invites you into the next level of spiritual alignment: replacing what has been released with intentional thanksgiving.

Through Scripture, thoughtful word study, and personal reflection, Sheri unpacks how gratitude:

• anchors your relationship with God
• transforms your prayer life from routine to reverent
• shifts your perspective in every season
• strengthens your faith through testimony
• and extends beyond God into how you honor others

This episode speaks directly to the woman who carries much—the mother, the wife, the leader, the caregiver, the entrepreneur—the one who shows up for everyone else, yet rarely pauses to sit in God’s presence with intentional gratitude.

With clarity and conviction, you’ll be challenged to move beyond quick acknowledgments and into a deeper, more meaningful expression of thanksgiving—one that includes your worship, your words, and your witness.

Because gratitude is not just something you say…
it is how you approach God.
