Because sometimes the most powerful Thanksgiving podcast 2025 isn’t about the feast on the table—it’s about the resilience in the soul and the One who carries us through.
Tacos, Tradition, and a Golden Sister Named Casie
Perry doesn’t ease into this holiday special—he cannonballs straight into the gravy with that signature mix of dad-joke warmth and Holy Ghost depth. The opening minutes alone are pure comfort food for the spirit:
“Happy Thanksgiving, tradition. When I think of Thanksgiving, I think of tradition. …One of the golden sisters in, I think, Casie. TACOS is the way she prays. And the T is for thankfulness. And she says she prays every single time she starts with TACOS. And in our family, ha, we all like tacos, ha ha ha! Extra sour cream and cheese. My point, be thankful. Thankfulness. So welcome to this Thanksgiving Day special episode of Stories from the SPIRIT. I’m your host, Perry Williams. What a blessing to be in your ear, in your car, in your home today…”
The TACOS Method of Prayer: A Simple 5-Step Guide
The TACOS method of prayer is the easy-to-remember acronym Perry shares in this Thanksgiving podcast 2025 special. It keeps prayer focused, balanced, and powerful — every single day, not just on holidays.
- T – Thanksgiving Start with gratitude for everything God has already done.
- A – Adoration Praise God for who He is — His love, power, mercy, and holiness.
- C – Confession Be honest about your sins and receive His forgiveness.
- O – Others Intercede for family, friends, leaders, and the lost.
- S – Self Bring your own needs, desires, and guidance requests last.
Thousands of listeners are already using the TACOS prayer method daily. Try it this week and watch gratitude transform your walk with the Holy Spirit.

Casie’s “TACOS” prayer acronym? Instant classic. That laugh over extra sour cream? The sound of a man who knows joy isn’t polite—it’s loud, messy, and usually comes with a side of cheese. And just like that, Perry flips the entire holiday script: Thanksgiving isn’t a date on the calendar; it’s a daily decision to choose gratitude over gripe.
From Laughter to the Long Dark Tunnel
What starts as lighthearted banter pivots into one of the most moving stories of Season 2: an Olympian whose humor never quits—even when life throws the ultimate endurance test. Perry walks us step-by-step through a literal and metaphorical tunnel so dark it’ll make you hold your breath… then delivers us into a light so bright you’ll need sunglasses and a tissue. And yes—it ends with a poem that ties tradition, triumph, and thankfulness into one perfect bow.
This isn’t just a holiday episode. It’s a masterclass in how to keep laughing, keep walking, and keep thanking when the tunnel feels endless.
