Description
No matter our religious beliefs, we can all celebrate the Thanksgiving holiday. But there's far more benefit to giving thanks than we ever imagined. Even scientists have discovered the good that being grateful brings to our minds, our bodies and our spirit. Diana Butler Bass, the author of "Grateful: The Transformative Power of Giving Thanks", talks about the healing we can have personally when we give thanks, but also, how we can heal a divided world by becoming a "thankful society."

Eric Metaxas – Without Martin Luther, No U.S. Constitution As We Know It: The 500th Anniversary of the Protestant Reformation probably went by for most people without notice last October 2017. Not too many breaking news headlines covered this event. And while most people would have learned of the Protestant Reformation in a day or two of study in public school classrooms, this event that happened five centuries ago really laid the groundwork for America as we know it today. Democracy, Freedom of Religion, Freedom to assemble, Freedom of Speech, all of these freedoms we take for granted can be traced back to a lowly German priest's fight with the hierarchy of the Roman Catholic Church and his subsequent excommunication. Best-selling author and Speaker Eric Metaxas talks about his lengthy book that delves into why Martin Luther should matter to us today. And also, how perhaps the Protestant Reformation's purpose has taken a few left turns. by Lighthouse Faith
