About this listen

 This Thanksgiving, we show our gratitude not just to the pilgrims for inspiring this holiday, but also for sowing the seeds of America to come. As the early English settlers struggled to adapt to the New World, they experimented with a socialist-like communal society. However, they soon learned its flaws and suffered significant consequences. Author, historian, and pastor Dr. Jerry Newcombe joins the Rundown to discuss the story of the Pilgrims and how their decision to embrace free-market principles eventually helped them survive. This thanksgiving, we hear from a wounded warrior whose message is both a call for gratitude and a call for connection. Marine veteran and Purple Heart recipient Gabe Martinez joins the Rundown to share how he survived a life-changing explosion while deployed in Afghanistan on Thanksgiving Day. He shares the people who carried him through recovery, and why 15 years later, he’s urging fellow veterans not to face the holidays alone. Plus, commentary by Vice President of Communications for Focus on The Family, Paul Batura. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices
