Welcome to Season 2 of the Your Church Matters podcast. Due to a busy travel schedule, a major book writing project, and 4 church consultations in process, I will be offering some replays of the main content of some previous episodes for Episodes 61-64 (March 29, April 5, April 12, April 19).
In this episode (63), I replayed the content of Episode 32, Creating a culture of gratitude.

General Observations:
- People expect to be criticized
- Our culture is so self-centered that we have lost the ability to be grateful. We have to have our expectations exceeded before we even think about gratitude.
- Our culture is much more driven by success than by significance.
- We only applaud risk takers of their risk does not affect our personal sense of security.
- We tend to value the bottom line over the vision.
- Since the squeaky wheel often gets the grease, complainers tend to get more attention than encouragers.
