Summary
Finding reasons to be thankful in the middle of suffering isn't easy. In this episode of the Hope Mommies Podcast, Kristin Hernandez is joined by author and Hope Mom Allison Brost to talk about what it looks like to cultivate gratitude. Allison shares the story of her son Solomon, who went to be with the Lord in 2018, and reflects on how her journey through loss has shaped her relationship with the Lord. Together, they discuss the tension of holding sorrow and thankfulness at the same time, the importance of authentic community, and how God redeems even the broken pieces of our stories. Allison also shares practical ways to nurture a heart of gratitude—including honesty with God, surrender, and remembering His goodness. Whether you're navigating deep grief, struggling to find thankfulness in hard seasons, or simply wanting to root your heart in gratitude, this conversation offers encouragement and hope. This Thanksgiving, we hope you're reminded that gratitude doesn't ignore pain—it transforms it. Allison Brost is an author and independent singer/songwriter from Janesville, Wisconsin. She loves to share daily encouragement online for those journeying in their faith over at This Side of Perfect. Her passion is to share words of hope—both through books and song—that can point people to Jesus and meet them in the hard, the mundane, and every moment inbetween. When she's not busy homeschooling her kids or leading worship, you can find her outside, most likely with a cup of chai in hand.
