Neuroscientists have shown that practicing thankfulness can create new neuropathways, even helping to heal past trauma. But why does God command his people to thank him? Rebecca Carrell, Liz Rodriguez, and Nika Spaulding explore the "why" and "how" of thankfulness (and also talk about snakes). We love hugs!
