Most Americans know the story of the Pilgrims, people who braved seas and sickness to find a new land where they could practice their faith in peace, but there is so much more to this story! As we begin our own Thanksgiving preparations, we visit with Rod Gragg, an award-winning journalist, historian, and author, who will reveal little-known facts and firsthand accounts of the compelling drama that culminated in the first Thanksgiving!
Each week, millions of Christians around the world use hymns composed by believers from every era and branch of Christianity to join voices in praise—singing psalms and hymns and making melody in their hearts to praise the Lord. Robert Morgan will reacquaint us with some beloved hymns of the faithful. He will share stories that show the emotion and drama behind the hymns of faith that have changed many lives throughout history—from the people whose faith led them to write these wonderful hymns to the people whose faith was affected by reading, hearing, and singing them.
