Gratitude: A Performance Enhancing Substance
The world likes to say that science is at odds with the Bible. So it must be frustrating for naysayers when research actually confirms God’s Word. It’s happening again, this time in the case of gratitude. It’s true, researchers now say that gratitude is good for you. They’re even calling it a “performance enhancing substance.” Who knew? Kingdom Advisors President Rob West has the details for you. Today on MoneyWise, Kingdom Advisors’ president Rob West has what you need to know.
• The Bible has many verses to inspire a thankful heart, but one in particular that details the benefits of gratitude is found in Philippians 4, verses 6 and 7.
• Researchers at the University of California-Davis and UC-Berkely are confirming that the spirit of gratitude has wonderful effects on our mind and body.
• Staying on a budget, living on less than you earn, saving for the future … all lead to financial well-being.
In today’s show we also answer your questions:
• What is your opinion on life insurance?
• What is the best way to decipher and decide about which Medicare option is best?
• I have money from the sale of my mother’s home. What is the best use of this money?
• How do you know when to stop buying collision insurance on your vehicles?
