Ep 74: Scripture and Traditions: Happy Thanksgiving

In this episode, we dive deep into the rich history of Thanksgiving, exploring its origins from the early Pilgrims' feast in 1621 to its evolution as a beloved American holiday. We’ll discuss how this once modest harvest celebration grew into the modern Thanksgiving we know today, complete with parades, and, of course, the infamous turkey dinner.

But it’s not all history lessons—we’ll have some fun too! Ever wonder why some people run 5Ks in turkey costumes or why family arguments seem to be a Thanksgiving staple? We’ll look at the quirky and hilarious traditions that have become part of the Thanksgiving experience over the years.

Finally, we’ll explore the deeper, spiritual aspect of thankfulness from a biblical perspective, focusing on the concept of gratitude as found in the King James Version (KJV) of the Bible. What does it truly mean to be thankful? How can we cultivate a heart of gratitude not just on Thanksgiving but throughout the year? We’ll review key Bible verses that help us reflect on the power of giving thanks and how it can transform our lives.
