It's been an awesome year! As the Christmas holiday approaches and 2025 comes to a close, we thought it would be a good idea to take some time and reflect on the many conversations and topics we've covered on the Bible, Bros & Brew podcast this year. We also share some lessons learned and insights received from the various themes we explored this year, including:

• Walking in the Spirit
• The Fruit of the Spirit
• How to Keep From Falling
• Pride vs. Humility
• Gratitude and Thanksgiving

We want to thank all of you for being a part of this journey with us! Our heart (and stated goal) is to inspire others to begin studying the Bible for themselves in order to walk in a deeper and more fulfilling relationship with God. As long as He will allow us, we will continue to share scriptural truths and practical life lessons on this podcast to help us all achieve that goal!

Until next year...have an awesome Christmas and a happy New Year! We'll see you again in 2026!

As we've journeyed through the scriptures regarding the importance of being grateful, a thought-provoking idea has emerged: Is there a difference between gratitude and thanksgiving? Armed with the Bible and a healthy supply of coffee, David & Phil tackle this intriguing question, and the discoveries they've made are definitely worth further study. Using key verses from the Old and New Testaments, the bros offer this thesis: Gratitude is an attitude of the heart based on an inward acknowledgement and appreciation of who God is and what He's done, whereas thanksgiving is the outward expression of gratefulness to God for all that the heart experiences. So grab your Bible and your favorite cup of java or tea, and join us as we explore the life-changing power of gratefulness!

In Psalm 50:14, the Bible encourages us to give God an offering of thanksgiving, which is explained in practical terms as the "fruit of our lips giving thanks to His name" (Hebrews 13:15). Scripture is replete with these types of encouragements, and if we're wise enough take heed to them, we'll discover of the most powerful forms of fellowship with God that exists. In this episode, David and Phil continue exploring the themes of thankfulness and gratefulness, particularly in light of the transformative power that can be unlocked when gratitude becomes a daily disposition of mind. So grab your Bible and your favorite brewed beverage, and join us as we dig into the Word together to unveil the power of practicing gratefulness!
