Pastor Allen Jackson to Host TBN Thanksgiving Special on Gratitude, ‘Give Thanks’

NASHVILLE, Nov. 15, 2021 – Pastor Allen Jackson, senior pastor of World Outreach Church in Tennessee, and heard nationally on TBN television network, Salem Radio Network and many other outlets, will host “Give Thanks with Pastor Allen Jackson,” an hour-long television special on TBN, Friday, Nov. 19. The show will be broadcast four times, back-to-back, throughout the evening, beginning at 8 p.m. eastern/5 p.m. pacific.

This is the first TBN prime-time special to be hosted by Pastor Jackson, and he says, “It’s a privilege to join with our friends at TBN in inviting our whole nation to give thanks to God. So much about our nation is worthy of celebrating. I want to invite everyone to join me in expressing our gratitude to God for his great blessings upon us.”

Throughout the hour-long special, Pastor Jackson offers a biblical perspective on the issues our nation struggles against today. Though we may face many difficult circumstances, he reminds the audience that giving thanks is not about how we feel, but about being obedient to God, and that cultivating gratitude comes with a blessing.

“Being thankful and giving public expressions of gratitude is more than just a platitude –It's a commandment in scripture,” Pastor Jackson explains. “It has very little to do with emotion and everything to do with obedience. We can be thankful in even the most difficult times because of who God is—He is a restorer, deliverer, provider and protector. When we set our intentions to give thanks to God, it pushes back on the fear and heaviness, so the darkness doesn’t overwhelm us.”

While Pastor Jackson explores some of the challenges our nation has faced over the past 20 months, he gives the audience reasons to be grateful for our nation and the role our Christian faith has played in establishing its foundations. He reminds viewers that God has given them the opportunity to be His ambassadors to today’s generation and in this holiday season.

“Fighting the good fight of faith requires intentionality, starting in our own hearts, in our own homes, in our own schools, in our own churches and in our own neighborhoods,” Pastor Jackson said. “Our willingness to engage will make a difference. If your circumstances aren’t perfect, give thanks to the Lord anyway. When we do that, we invite God to work in our lives and our situations. Find something in your life for which you can thank God. I don’t want anyone to miss out on the blessings that come from expressing gratitude and thanksgiving.”
