197. Faith is Not a Formula: How Gratitude Lays the Foundation for Spiritual Formation & Real Relationship with Jesus (ft. Virginia Wear Kujabi)

What if gratitude wasn’t just something we practice — but a way of seeing our whole lives? This week, I’m sitting down with Virginia Wear Kujabi. She’s seen firsthand how faith isn’t limited to Sunday mornings — it’s formed just as much in the workplace, the kitchen, and the quiet middle moments of life.

Virginia shares what it looks like to trade a formula-based faith for a real, rooted walk with Jesus. We talk about learning gratitude as a posture instead of a checklist, finding God in our ordinary spaces, and the beauty that can grow in seasons of disappointment and transition.

If you’ve been striving to “get it right” or just longing for deeper connection with God in your everyday life, this conversation will feel like a deep breath for your soul.

“Give thanks in all circumstances; for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus for you.” 1 Thessalonians 5:18
