🎙️ Episode 3: "Finding Gratitude in the Everyday Moments"

Welcome to Made for More, where we’re on a mission to make thankfulness as contagious as a yawn. This week, we’re diving into the art of spotting joy in the little things—like finding matching socks or when autocorrect actually gets it right for once.

We’ll talk about turning every day into The Olympics of Thankfulness (spoiler: everyone’s a gold medalist), how to flex your gratitude muscle even when life feels like a Wi-Fi dead zone, and why God’s blessings are like His cosmic Post-it notes just waiting for us to notice.

Plus, we’ll explore how the church is basically the original “Gratitude Club,” complete with bonus hugs and maybe free coffee. Whether it’s celebrating a small win (like finding your keys before panic sets in) or spotting God’s fingerprints in the everyday, this episode is full of laughs, lightbulb moments, and biblical truth.

So, grab your gratitude scavenger map and tune in for some big laughs, tiny joy medals, and a reminder that even a hot mess can be a holy mess. Don’t miss it—your Monday might just thank you!

In this lighthearted and relatable episode of Made for More, we dive into the power of gratitude to transform our relationships—from marriages and friendships to workplace dynamics. We start with how gratitude can serve as a "time-out" button in the middle of conflicts, complete with a Bible-backed “magic reset phrase” that can cool down heated moments (yes, even when you're on round five of “Who’s supposed to take out the trash?”). We explore how small gestures like saying “thank you” and expressing appreciation can build healthier, happier relationships, drawing inspiration from biblical examples like Paul, who was the ultimate encourager—even while in prison.

With practical advice and funny, real-world scenarios, this episode reminds us that gratitude isn’t about grand gestures; it’s about noticing the small things—like your friend showing up with ice cream after a tough day or your spouse laughing at your terrible jokes. By the end, we challenge you to spread gratitude everywhere, even to the people who might least expect it. Tune in to see why gratitude in relationships isn’t just an option but a calling, because YOU were Made for More!

In this week’s episode of Made for More, we’re diving into the wild and often hilarious journey of "adulting." From first paychecks that vanish into pizza and church donations to figuring out taxes from a tiny apartment with a Murphy bed, we’ve all got a story!

First, we take a reality check by busting common adulting myths. Spoiler alert: it’s more frozen dinners than Pinterest-perfect kitchens. Then, we discuss the art of “faking it until you make it,” sharing practical tips like budgeting basics and learning to love Google when something breaks!

We’ll explore the importance of asking for help—a skill that makes you stronger, not weaker. Sharing a story about a mentor, we highlight the value of having trusted mentors in life.

And don’t miss “Adult Confessions,” where we laugh (and cringe) at our biggest adulting fails. Tune in as we celebrate the journey of growing up and realize that, in the end, none of us have it all together—and that’s okay!

Key Takeaway: Try tackling one "scary" adult task this week, and remember to laugh through it. After all, you were made for more!
