In this episode of Detours, we explore how a thankful heart can transform the way we see God, ourselves, and the world around us. Gratitude isn’t just a polite response or a seasonal practice—it’s a powerful spiritual posture that brings clarity, peace, and joy, even in life’s hardest moments.

We’ll look at why Scripture calls us to “give thanks in all circumstances,” how gratitude reorients our hearts toward God’s goodness, and the practical ways a thankful spirit can reshape our thoughts, relationships, and daily rhythms. Whether you’re walking through a season of blessing or battling discouragement, a thankful heart can open the door to deeper peace and renewed trust.

Join us as we discover how cultivating gratitude can change your perspective, strengthen your faith, and help you experience God’s presence more fully in every detour of life.

In this episode of Detours, we take a closer look at what might be quietly destroying our relationships — the way we talk (and don’t talk) to each other. From topping other people’s stories to scrolling on a phone while someone’s sharing their heart, these small habits send a loud message: you don’t matter. We’ll explore how true friendship isn’t about fixing or advising, but about showing up, listening well, and making people feel seen.

If you’ve ever walked away from a conversation feeling unheard — or worried you’ve made someone else feel that way — this one’s for you.

What does it mean to truly walk beside someone in their faith journey? In this episode, we explore the call to Christian mentorship—why it matters, how it reflects the example of Jesus, and the legacy it leaves behind. We’ll look at biblical models of mentorship, the qualities that make a godly mentor, and practical steps you can take to pour into others. Whether you feel “qualified” or not, God can use your story to impact lives for His kingdom. Join us as we ask challenging questions, share encouragement, and invite you to step into the role of a mentor who multiplies disciples.
