Thanksgiving and the Heart of Gratitude: A Believer’s Reflection.



Shalom, everyone!

Thanksgiving is one of those holidays that most folks think they’ve already got all figured out. Turkey, football, pumpkin pie, family, a nap afterward, and maybe a prayer before the meal if someone remembers to say one. But when you really take the time to slow down and look at what Thanksgiving actually is, where it came from, and what it means spiritually, you realize there’s a whole lot more going on than a big dinner on a Thursday in November. There’s a deep history behind it, some painful truths mixed in with the comforting ones, and a whole spiritual layer that most people walk right past without ever noticing.

For Believers, Thanksgiving isn’t just an American tradition. It’s a doorway into something that has been woven into the fabric of Scripture from the very beginning. Gratitude—real gratitude—isn't seasonal. It’s spiritual. It’s part of our identity. And the more you look at Thanksgiving through that lens, the more you start to see the religious ramifications of this holiday, the places where it aligns with biblical truth, and the places where it bumps into uncomfortable realities that we shouldn’t ignore. So let’s take a long ride through all of it, like we’re coasting down a long country road on a bicycle with plenty of time to talk along the way.

Violence against Christians in Nigeria is real, intense, and regionally concentrated — especially in the northeast (Boko Haram/ISWAP) and the central “Middle Belt” (farmer–herder clashes, bandits). Some Christian groups and political actors call it a genocide; others (and Nigerian authorities) argue it’s part of a broader insecurity crisis—including terrorism, criminal banditry, and resource conflicts—that affects Muslims and Christians. Estimates of deaths and displaced people vary widely depending on source and methodology, so treat any single number cautiously.

This Halloween, I didn't chase ghosts — I’m remembering one.

I rode my bicycle to the very spot where Ellen Sears Marks was murdered in 1986 — a small shack at the end of a quiet street in Bloomington that time forgot. Her story has haunted me for years… and this season, I finally tell it.

No jump scares. No special effects. Just one real horror story — and the truth that still lingers in the silence.

Shalom, everyone! Ever have one of those moments when you know God’s nudging you to do something, but you keep finding every reason not to? Yeah… that’s where I’ve been.

There’s this little church up the hill — nothing fancy, just quiet and steady — and for a long time now, I’ve felt that still, small voice telling me to go. But every Sunday, I’ve found an excuse to stay home, to “catch up on work,” or “take care of the dogs.” You know how it goes.

Well, in this new Study Ride called “My Little Nineveh,” I talk about what happens when obedience starts pulling at your heart — and how sometimes the hardest uphill ride is exactly the one that leads to peace.

So grab your coffee, hop on your bike, and join me for a slow, thoughtful ride about listening to God’s whisper and learning to pedal in the right direction. 🚴‍♂️💭

Shalom, and keep those wheels turning!

To criticize Zionism is not necessarily antisemitic — a careful, detailed presentation


1) Why this question matters



The question “Is criticism of Zionism antisemitic?” is not merely academic. It shapes policy, campus conduct, government definitions of hate speech, security for Jewish communities, freedom of speech, and the ability of Palestinians to make political claims. Definitions and the way they are applied affect real people: students, citizens, refugees, survivors, and leaders. That is why we must be precise and careful.



This presentation accepts the premise that both historical Jewish suffering and Palestinian dispossession are morally serious matters. It aims to examine the categories honestly and without the reflex of scoring rhetorical points for either side.



2) Definitions: clear terms, fewer confusions



Zionism (basic working definition): a political-national movement that, in modern form, emerged in the late 19th century asserting the right of the Jewish people to national self-determination in their ancestral homeland. That movement took many forms: political, cultural, labor/socialist, and religious variants.

Encyclopedia Britannica



Anti-Zionism: opposition to Zionism in some form. This can mean opposition to the historic idea that Jews should have a nation-state in the territory in question, or opposition to specific policies of the State of Israel, or opposition to the idea of a Jewish state as an ongoing principle. Anti-Zionism is a political stance; its content, intensity, and motives vary widely.



Antisemitism: prejudice, hostility, or discrimination against Jews as Jews. Modern working definitions attempt to capture classic tropes (e.g., conspiratorial attributions of power), dehumanization, and violence targeting Jews or Jewish institutions. The International Holocaust Remembrance Alliance (IHRA) working definition (2016) is widely used by governments and institutions; it lists illustrative examples including some forms of rhetoric about Israel. The Jerusalem Declaration on Antisemitism (2021) is a scholarly alternative that aims to protect critical speech about Israel while still condemning classic antisemitism.
