Ep 2070: For Thanksgiving, With Thanksgiving

This Thanksgiving, Jim and Martha Brangenberg serve up a feast of gratitude, laughter, and heartfelt reflections. In this episode, they share hilarious holiday mishaps (like a kid sneaking way too much butter), cherished family traditions, and the transformative power of thankfulness. With Scripture as their guide, they unpack how gratitude can shift our mindset, deepen relationships, and even make workplaces more joyful. 

You’ll hear practical tips for sparking meaningful conversations around the dinner table, embracing imperfection (because no one remembers the “perfect” meal), and savoring the moments that truly matter. The Brangenbergs remind us that thankfulness isn’t just a holiday feeling—it’s a daily practice that keeps us grounded in God’s goodness. 

Plus, don’t miss the iWork4Him holiday book sale—perfect for gifting—and the opportunity to partner with iWork4Him on Giving Tuesday. This show is packed with encouragement and inspiration to make your Thanksgiving memorable, whether you’re hosting, traveling, or just showing up for the pie!
