Jason and Rachel share Thanksgiving reflections on family — from books, films, and faith to real-life love and belonging. What makes a family? And how do we find one when life feels lonely?

They explore what it truly means to belong, drawing on everything from fictional families in Rhyme, Riddle, and Romance, Oliver Twist, and Anne of Avonlea to the biblical story of Ruth and her loyalty to Naomi. Along the way, they share stories from their own home — sibling squabbles, family quirks, and the beautiful messiness of learning to love one another well.

This episode is full of warmth, gratitude, and reminders that family isn’t just who you’re born to — it’s who you choose to love and serve. Whether your Thanksgiving is full of people or peaceful solitude, this one’s for you.

Topics include:

• What “family” really means — and how to find one
• Healthy boundaries, grace, and communication
• How literature mirrors biblical family values
• Lessons from Ruth, Oliver, and Anne Shirley
• Gratitude, faith, and belonging during the holidays

“If you have a family, you have everything you need — aside from God. But God connects us into family more than anything else.”
