What if the biggest obstacle to raising grateful kids… is our own entitlement? In this episode, Jonathan sits down with author and Mercy House Global founder Kristen Welch, whose journey from “comfortable Christian mom” to global nonprofit leader started with a single, terrifying yes and a life-altering moment in the largest slum in Nairobi. What she discovered there forced her to confront a hard truth: gratitude isn’t something you can manufacture in your kids until it takes root in you first. If you’ve ever felt crushed by comparison, overwhelmed by parenting pressures, or frustrated by the entitlement creeping into your home, Kristen’s story will remind you that the path back to gratitude begins with a changed heart, a slowed pace, and a renewed center on Christ.
