The Christian Entrepreneur

Gratitude

Cody Cottle

In this episode, we’re leaning into something simple, powerful, and deeply transformative: Gratitude.

Not the once-a-year sentiment that shows up around Thanksgiving…
 but the kind of daily, supernatural gratitude that shapes your heart, anchors your mind, and realigns your spirit as a Christian entrepreneur.

Gratitude is one of the greatest weapons God gives us against greed, anxiety, scarcity, and overwhelm. While greed says, “I never have enough,” gratitude declares, “God has given me more than enough.” The moment we shift into gratitude, we strip the enemy of power and step back into peace.

In this episode, we walk through four life-shifting truths:

1. Gratitude Is God’s Will — Not a Suggestion

1 Thessalonians 5 reminds us to “give thanks in everything.” Not when it’s easy. Not when the numbers look good. In everything. Gratitude grounds us and reminds our soul: “God is here. God is working.”

2. Gratitude Breaks Anxiety & Scarcity

Philippians 4 teaches that thanksgiving is what breaks anxiety’s grip. Scarcity whispers, “You need more.” Gratitude speaks back, “God has already provided — and He will again.” We reflect on how remembering God’s provision reshapes our mindset as business owners.

3. Gratitude in Trials Produces Maturity

James 1 calls us to “count it all joy” because God uses every trial to grow us. Gratitude doesn’t deny difficulty — it reframes it. It becomes a shield against pressure, stress, and spiritual attack, grounding us in peace and contentment.

4. Gratitude for Our Families

Your family is your first blessing, first ministry, and first responsibility. Success is empty if the people closest to you feel unseen. I share a heartfelt reminder to slow down this season, honor the people God placed in your life, and express gratitude intentionally.

This episode is an invitation to pause, breathe, reflect, and step into Thanksgiving with a renewed heart — full of gratitude, honor, love, and presence.

If you’re a Christian entrepreneur who wants to stay grounded in God’s goodness while growing in business and life, this message will speak deeply to you.
