The True Story of Thanksgiving and the Pilgrims Prosperity

from The Todd Huff Show · host Todd Huff

On this special Thanksgiving edition of the Todd Huff Show, Todd tells the true story of Thanksgiving you didn’t learn in public school. He walks through the faith and sacrifice of the Pilgrims, their fight for religious liberty, the brutal first winter, the providential role of Squanto, and the moment Governor William Bradford rejected forced socialism and embraced private property and free market capitalism. Todd explains how this shift unleashed prosperity, helped spark the Great Puritan Migration, and still shapes American life and freedom today. Plus, he connects the Pilgrims’ gratitude to God with our own need to remember the real source of our blessings.
