Thanksgiving is a Practice, with Cornelius Plantinga

Thanksgiving is much more than a holiday. The practice of gratitude is a biblical command, it’s a Christian virtue, and it’s even one of the best predictors of personal well-being. But what does the practice of thanks-giving require? How can we cultivate a spirit and habit of thankfulness with the burdens we bear as individuals, and amidst the sorrows and injustices of a fallen world? Join us in this episode in discovering formative practices from our Christian tradition that can help each of us cultivate a deeply thankful heart. Together we’ll be guided by Cornelius (Neal) Plantinga , theologian and author of Gratitude: Why Giving Thanks Is the Key to Our Well-Being . “Gratitude makes me content because gratitude makes what I have enough.” This episode is drawn from an online conversation held in 2025 . You can find the full video of the conversation on our website, ttf.org . You can become a Trinity Forum Society member there too. Join us in exploring timeless Christian wisdom together, so you gain clarity and courage for your own life, and help cultivate a renewed culture of hope.
