Not a News Cycle
But Rather God Executing His Plan

CURRENT PROGRAM: April 18, 2026

** This is a rebroadcast of our 11/27/21 program.

Health Update on our host, David Wheaton:

This past Friday in the early evening, David experienced a heart attack after doing some moderate exercise at home. On Sunday, two stents were placed in arteries in his heart to improve blood flow. There has been some damage to his heart but doctors think the prognosis is very good for full recovery.

David came home from the hospital on Tuesday and is feeling well. He’s looking forward to an extra-thankful Thanksgiving with family! We praise God for His evident providence, mercy, and strength throughout this trial.

THANK YOU for remembering David and his family in prayer. And we pray that you and yours have a wonderful Thanksgiving with gratitude to God for all His good gifts!

“Consider it all joy, my brethren, when you encounter various trials, knowing that the testing of your faith produces endurance. And let endurance have its perfect result, so that you may be perfect and complete, lacking in nothing” (James 1:2-4).

GUEST: DR. JERRY NEWCOMBE, producer, The Pilgrims documentary

A small group of biblical Christians known as the the Pilgrims are widely considered to be “the founders of America”.

Numbering only about 400-500 souls, they had fled religious persecution in England to settle in Holland. But after ten years there, they decided on another move across the Atlantic Ocean to an unknown land that would become the United States.

About 50 Pilgrims were on the first vessel called The Mayflower, arriving in modern-day Cape Cod in Massachusetts in November 1620. One year later in November 1621, after a brutal winter in which many of them died, they celebrated a bountiful harvest with local Indians who had helped them in what has become known as the first Thanksgiving.

The Pilgrims and their biblical beliefs which led directly to the principles of the Declaration of Independence and U.S. Constitution 150 years have been mostly forgotten by the majority of our population. “Separation of church and state” is a sacrament of mainstream society today…but it wasn’t to the Pilgrims. They said they came to America “for the glory of God and the advancement of the Christian faith.”

Dr. Jerry Newcombe, producer of the documentary film, The Pilgrims, joins us this Thanksgiving weekend on The Christian Worldview to discuss the Pilgrims’ story and what they believed and lived by. For in them we have an example for how we can live in our pilgrimage in a contrary world.
