216. Thanksgiving Traditions: Connection Over Perfection

A Force To Be Reckoned With

Ever wondered what it truly means to be thankful without the pressure of perfection?

With a healthy dose of humor and a pinch of nostalgia, we’re hitting pause to reflect on what truly matters: family, home, and the incredible community that shapes our lives. Because sometimes, it’s the little things—like snuggling up under twinkling lights by a cozy Christmas tree—that help us slow down and savor the season.

We’re also getting real about the pressures of social media’s perfectly curated holiday moments. Spoiler alert: the magic isn’t in the picture-perfect decor or traditions; it’s in the laughter, the connection, and yes, even the chaos. We're here to embrace the imperfections and find joy in those unfiltered moments with the people we love most.

Drawing inspiration from the story of Samuel and David, we’ll talk about the beauty of being faithful in the small things and trusting in divine timing. It’s all about slowing down, soaking in the season, and choosing presence over pressure.

So grab a turkey leg, settle in, and let’s share some Thanksgiving gratitude together.

• What we’re thankful for.
