The Messy History of Thanksgiving, A Thanksgiving Benediction, and Why Green Been Casserole is the Best Side Dish

Thanksgiving is the perfect time for holiday-themed reruns, so that’s exactly what we’re offering you today! Join Resident Bible Scholar Erin Moon as she covers a cornucopia of topics from the creation of our national holiday and the origins of green bean casserole to the real story behind the first Thanksgiving. The truth might be messier and more complicated than our narrative of fellowship and unity, but together, we can create a fuller, more inclusive table where all are welcome.

Conversations involving faith are often fraught with scholarly nerd alerts about ancient linguistics and inaccessible theological discussions centered around hermeneutics. But what if there was a way to use your pop culture literacy to enhance your biblical literacy? Welcome to Faith Adjacent, the podcast where we try to understand the modern dynamics of faith through a combined commitment to uncomfortable honesty, authentic weirdness, and critical thinking. Faith Adjacent is hosted by Knox McCoy and Jamie Golden of The Popcast along with Resident Bible Scholar Erin Moon.
