Church Nerds 59 | How To Give Thanks

SHOW NOTES

In our Thanksgiving-focused episode, Bubba and Anna dive a bit deeper into the idea of celebrating a holiday that might be a source of pain for another American culture. As Christian in America, is it kind and tender-hearted to celebrate Thanksgiving? It’s an open and honest examination that might not have a perfect answer, but it’s a conversation that we need to have.
