On this Thanksgiving edition, Dr. Johnny Hunter welcomes Pastor Arthur “AJ” Johnson (Birmingham, AL) for a heartfelt conversation on giving thanks in everything.
After a quick sweep of national headlines, Pastor AJ shares his pro-life journey (including an arrest while peacefully praying at a clinic and a night in the same Birmingham jail cell once used for Dr. King), the miracle of his family after years of infertility, and the deep grief of losing a son.
Anchored in 1 Thessalonians 5:18, he teaches the difference between thanking God in trials (not necessarily for them), and shows how gratitude glorifies God in every season. Scripture-rich, pastoral, and practical—this one lifts weary hearts to worship.
