Ep. 49: Thankfulness vs. Gratitude: Is Thanksgiving a Christian Holiday?


Listen Later

Thanksgiving is known for its comfort foods, family, and a special time of reflection on all that we are thankful for. Most Americans celebrate it, but why? What is the history behind this cherished holiday? Is it rooted in Christian principles and beliefs? J. Warner Wallace, cold-case detective and Senior Fellow at the Colson Center for Christian Worldview joins host Joseph Backholm to dive into the history of Thanksgiving and how to navigate the holiday from a biblical worldview. They discuss the difference between thankfulness and gratitude and how you can bring the gospel message to your own family’s Thanksgiving celebration. Enjoy this podcast with a side of turkey, mashed potatoes, and green bean casserole!
