## Resource

This week, J.John is joined by Girma Bishaw, who shares his powerful story of growing up in Ethiopia and his journey of faith. Girma reveals how someone who wasn’t fully living out their own faith still played a significant role in helping him discover the grace and love of Jesus. Girma shares about the 'Gratitude Initiative', an organisation that aims to change our culture by resourcing and gathering communities to talk about and practise gratitude. -- Follow the Gratitude Initiative on Instagram: @ukgratitude. Visit their website: gratitudeinitiative.org.uk. Find his book 'The Gratitude Way' at https://ivpbooks.com/the-gratitude-way.
