Gratitude Prompts – Karen Purves

How do you react when things go wrong in your life? Not just small things, but big things, HUGE THINGS? How you react an affect your physical health, your mental health and even your spiritual health.

When things go wrong, “Gratitude” is usually not the first choice we make as a reaction. But yet, my guest today specializes in helping us to see that “Gratitude” should be THE first choice we make in all situations. Good and bad.

Karen Purves was on the program, in January 2019, to talk about her book, “Gratitude Prompts.” You can go back to our archives and find episodes 430 and 431 to listen to her last interview.

She has had some, let’s say, interesting adventures in the last year and is back today to catch us up and also answer some more questions about how we can use “Gratitude” to help grow us spiritually.

She supports her clients in developing both gratitude and appreciation in their life. Because both of these qualities and emotions are the cornerstone for bringing into reality everything we desire.

Karen shares that “Gratitude is a lifestyle choice - rather than something you do in 2 minutes at the end of the day.”

You talk about how a person can get double dose of gratitude by actually doing something for someone else. How does that work?

And you encourage people to keep a journal of all things, right?

Segway into your book, “Gratitude Prompts!” How was that? Amen!

Tell us about “why” you wrote this book to begin with.

What kind of feedback have you received from the book?

Has this helped you in your Gratitude Journey as well?

How does someone use your book? Do they go by a calendar? Or front to back? How do they use your book to record their Gratitude Prompts?

There are other journals out there, what makes your book different?

There are 65 Gratitude topics in your book. Can you give us some examples?

You started a podcast, correct?

How can someone get a copy of your book?

Karen, it has been great catching up with again. If someone wanted to get more information on you, your book, your coaching, etc, how can they do that? How can someone get in touch with you?

Folks, you have seen all the so called “experts” teaching about gratitude. Doing 30 days of this or posting 30 days of that. But Karen Purves LIVES gratitude. She has written an excellent book on the subject that will guide you through the process and prompt you to think about the “little things” that you should be grateful for. Hence the name, “Gratitude Prompts.” Amen!

You need to get this book. In fact, you need to get two copies. One for you and one to pass along to a friend. Remember, random acts of kindness, according to Karen, will benefit you TWICE OVER! Praise the Lord! “Whatsoever you sow, you shall reap.” If you want to reap gratitude, give someone a book on gratitude and plant that seed that will produce a harvest of gratitude back into your life! Amen!

Karen, thank you again for coming back on the program today.

Folks, go down below and click the links, right now, while you are thinking about it. Don’t let the devil try to tell you to do it later. Don’t listen to him, listen to me…do it now! Praise God!

For Karen Purves and myself, this is Pastor Bob reminding you to BE BLESSED IN ALL THAT YOU DO!

About your host

Profile picture for Robert Thibodeau

Robert Thibodeau

I am a 12 year Army veteran as both enlisted and as a commissioned Cavalry Officer.
I am now a retired law enforcement supervisor...

I had my own business for seven years before I entered law enforcement.

As a cop, I was injured on the job on May 12, 2007 and after several surgeries over a couple of years, forced to retire in 2011.

As I was looking down the road to “what am I going to do next?” I started what is now known as a podcast (I had no clue at the time).

Within six months of starting (what I called) “My online radio program” I was offered an opportunity to be on nationwide AM radio. I learned A LOT in one year of doing that!

I then started the online Christian radio platform "Evangelism Radio" in the fall of 2010. It has had listeners in 160+ nations and all 50 states. We host 50+ Christian broadcasters on a weekly basis. We have been operating 24/7 for almost 14 years now. We have been rated #1 in the world by Shoutcast. com on several occasions in our genre. We recently transferred ownership of Evangelism Radio to another ministry so I could concentrate full time on podcasting, preaching and writing.

In 2018, I started the Kingdom Cross Roads Podcast to conduct interviews with Christian influencers from all walks of life and to play their interviews on the radio station. (The KCR Podcast has its own time slot on Evangelism Radio)!
We now have over 1600 episodes and almost 1100 interviews (in just over 6 years).

Looking out at the future of online Christian media, I noticed there was no viable platforms that catered only to the Christian podcast market.

In 2023, we launched a networking platform called, "FaithCasters" which connects "Great Christian podcasters with Great Christian Guests!" This helps to promote the work you do through podcast interviews! Check it out at https://FaithCaster.org

We recently launched "FaithCaster Academy" which serves as a training hub for ALL of our trainings (podcast training / speaker training / interview training, etc.). Members receive access to ALL of our training programs for one low, monthly membership fee. Members also receive FREE access to ALL of the LIVE trainings I conduct (1 or 2 per month) - while non-members have to pay to access the live trainings.

Between my podcast training program, conducting podcast interviews, appearing on other podcasts as guests, speaking at conferences (in person and virtually) and the podcast networking platform, I guess you could say “I’m all in” when it comes to podcasting and online media!

My total focus is to do all we can to assist you to “Get The Word Out” about your mission, services, products, ministry, books, business, etc.
