Why is it so hard to just say thank you? When someone hands us something we didn’t earn, our first instinct is often to pay it back, and many of us treat God the same way, working to prove we’re worth loving. This message starts with a dad whose son keeps offering to save up and cover the cost of a gift, and a meal dropped off for someone going through a hard time, then asks what changes when we stop keeping score and simply receive. From there, two friends describe a trip to Mozambique that surprised them both. One arrived a skeptic and came home saying his theology had been rewritten. The other prayed over dying children in a hospital and had to face what it means when the miracle doesn’t come. This is an honest conversation about gratitude, doubt, suffering, and how to love people when you have no answers.
