Thanksgiving might be over, but gratitude's still in season. This week, we're thankful for the filmmakers and platforms taking creative risks. The ones living between the worlds of sacred and secular — where faith and doubt don't compete, they coexist.

It’s not always an easy space to live in. Stories that explore belief seriously without preaching can feel too risky for faith-based outlets, and too spiritual for Hollywood. But platforms like Loor TV are proving there's an audience hungry for honesty, and a generation ready to see truth show up in genres that don't usually get a seat at the table.

So as we wrap up this season of thanks, we're shining a light on those who dare to tell the truth — in all its tension, humor, and hope. Because faith doesn't just live in sermons or songs, sometimes it's found in the stories brave enough to wrestle with what's real.

Except for one infamous tirade, this holiday classic remains a heartfelt reminder that gratitude can sometimes hide in life’s detours. As two mismatched travelers (Steve Martin & John Candy) stumble their way home for Thanksgiving, every delay, disaster, and disagreement becomes a poignant lesson in patience and empathy. It’s proof that sometimes the road to thankfulness is full of potholes... and that’s what makes it worth the trip.

In this animated adventure, two time-traveling turkeys set out to rewrite history and save Thanksgiving… by erasing it. What starts as a goofy buddy comedy becomes a surprisingly sweet reminder about sacrifice, freedom, and finding your flock. Beneath the feathers and punchlines, it’s a story about seeing the bigger picture and realizing that thankfulness often begins with perspective.

Faith-based storytelling has always lived in tension — too reverent for Hollywood, too raw for Sunday school.

For years, Christian media has mostly catered to children or parents seeking wholesome entertainment. But what happens when those kids grow up? Where do they turn for stories that wrestle with faith instead of reducing it?

That’s the space platforms like Loor TV are stepping into.

Founded by filmmaker Marcus Pittman, Loor is creating a home for genre-driven stories that don’t sanitize the world but search for meaning within it. Pittman believes faith-based content doesn’t have to play it safe (and we agree). What matters is authenticity.

It’s a bold vision, especially as a new generation quietly rediscovers belief — not through sermons, but through stories that feel authentic to their lives.

As Gen Z searches for God in unconventional places, projects like these remind us that conviction doesn’t always look polished. Sometimes, it looks real, honest, and a little rough around the edges.

Because if there really is a “Quiet Revival” happening around us, maybe it starts right here… with those daring enough to speak Christ’s truth in unexpected ways.

For anyone who’s ever wondered where faith-driven stories truly belong, Loor TV feels like a breath of fresh air. The platform is building a home for Kingdom-minded storytellers across genres — creators willing to take risks and speak to audiences hungry for stories that feel honest, human, and unafraid.

It’s proof that faith-based entertainment doesn’t have to play it safe to have purpose. Sometimes it just needs room to breathe... and a platform that believes in it.

We’re thankful for filmmakers like Marcus Pittman for creating a space for stories like these to thrive.

Even though the American season of thanks has passed, gratitude always has a place at the table. It usually shows up quietly and in the middle of real life — in work that wears us out, plans that fall apart, or moments that don’t go the way we hoped.

That’s where it starts to take root. Gratitude doesn’t ignore what’s hard; it looks for what’s still good and trusts that God’s working even when we can’t see it.

At Plumb News, we believe thankfulness starts with paying attention. When we notice small moments of grace, we make room for God to keep doing what He does best — bringing light into the story.

Until next time,
