In this special Thanksgiving episode, Dr. Rob Pacienza is joined by Dr. Jerry Newcombe, Executive Director of Providence Forum, to revisit the inspiring yet often misunderstood story of the Pilgrims.

What really happened in Plymouth Colony? Why did the Pilgrims abandon their early socialist experiment? And what lessons can modern America learn from their hard-won embrace of personal responsibility, biblical values, and free enterprise?

Rob and Jerry trace the historical and theological roots of the Pilgrims' journey, from persecution in England to covenant community in the New World, and show how a commitment to faith, family, and biblical liberty shaped the foundations of our nation.

As we celebrate Thanksgiving, this conversation reminds us of the enduring legacy of gratitude, perseverance, and providence that defined the Pilgrim story and still echoes through American life today.
