About this listen

In this episode, I explore how America’s understanding of Thanksgiving evolved from scattered regional observances to a unified national holiday. Drawing from my background as a history educator, I look at how presidents like George Washington and Abraham Lincoln used Thanksgiving proclamations to encourage national unity, humility, and reflection—especially in times of crisis. By weaving together history and faith, the episode highlights how gratitude has served as a stabilizing force in the American story and why the call to give thanks continues to hold spiritual and civic significance today.
