This week on Roots, Rights & Reason, host Lee Smith welcomes Bishop Leon Benjamin for a special Thanksgiving episode filled with faith, history, and gratitude.

Together, they revisit the Mayflower Compact of 1620 and the divine mission that guided America’s earliest settlers. Bishop Benjamin shares how the pilgrims understood their journey as a covenant with God—an assignment to bring faith and peace to a new land.

He explains how their gratitude and worship shaped the foundation of the nation: an attitude of thanksgiving that invited God’s presence into every part of life, from fellowship to food to family.

As the conversation turns to the meaning of Thanksgiving today, Bishop Benjamin reflects on reconciliation and unity around the table. Even amid political differences, he reminds listeners that gratitude is what binds Americans together. “If you don’t like the politics,” he says with a smile, “pass the yams.”

The episode closes with a heartfelt prayer for peace, healing, and renewed faith across the nation…a reminder that true thanksgiving begins with humility before God and love for one another.

New episodes drop every Wednesday at 3 PM ET.
