Thanksgiving: Faith, Survival, and Praise at Plymouth
In 1620 a small band of believers landed at Plymouth Rock, endured a harsh winter, and with God’s help gathered a harvest and shared a feast with the Wampanoag. They gave thanks not because of abundance but because of God’s presence and provision. But Thanksgiving began long before the Pilgrims—in Scripture and in the lives of those who worship and surrender to God daily. This episode explores how thanksgiving is a posture of the heart, a daily practice of acknowledging the Lord, not just a holiday meal.
