The REAL History of Thanksgiving – What They DON'T Tell YouIs the “First Thanksgiving” of 1621 the beautiful, godly celebration we’ve always imagined… or a myth used to push two very different narratives today?In this eye-opening episode of Spiritual Reality, we dive deep into:-The 1621 harvest feast between the Pilgrims and Wampanoag – what actually happened (with primary sources!)-Why this wasn’t technically the “first” thanksgiving in America-The two very different motives behind the feast (diplomatic alliance vs. praising God)-How a Boston minister in 1841 accidentally gave us the title “First Thanksgiving”-The forgotten woman (Sarah Josepha Hale) who campaigned for 40 years to make Thanksgiving a national holiday-Abraham Lincoln’s 1863 proclamation that made it official during the Civil War-What the Bible actually says about giving thanks (1 Thess 5:18, Col 3:17, Psalm 107:1, James 1:17 + more)-Why Christians should NOT feel guilty celebrating Thanksgiving, even when critics call it “problematic”This isn’t the sanitized elementary-school version, and it’s not the revisionist “day of mourning” narrative either. It’s the nuanced, biblical, historically-grounded truth.If you’re tired of the culture war noise around Thanksgiving and want clarity from a Christian worldview, this episode is for you.
