NASHVILLE, Aug. 24, 2016 /Christian Newswire/ -- Several well-known authors, speakers and musicians have announced plans to be part of "Give Thanks" for its third season at Nashville's Bridgestone Arena September 11, 2016, at 6 pm. The event's special guests include: Mike Huckabee, former Governor of Arkansas, TV News commentator, author and speaker; Eric Metaxas, New York Times best-selling author, Christian radio host and national speaker; Michael W. Smith, contemporary, Christian musician, Billboard Magazine Hot 100 artist and recipient of an American Music award; and Stikyard, a dazzling group of percussionists in motion.

Dr. Ben Carson, best-selling author and recipient of multiple honors, including the Presidential Medal of Freedom, will be part of the event via recorded video message.

Event sponsor, World Outreach Church, Murfreesboro, TN, and its originator, Pastor G. Allen Jackson have plans for a faith-based experience that has tremendous significance in America.

"It is our Christian heritage that makes liberty and freedom for all a possibility," says Jackson. "I believe the responsibility lies firmly at the doorstep of all Christ-followers. When we are willing to honor God, His values and Word, and stand for them, we will continue as a nation blessed by God."

The event begins at 6 pm. New this year: an outdoor stage with live music on Broadway and 5th Avenue from 4:15 to 5:15 pm.

World Outreach Church [WOC] is a congregation of more than 20,000 people with interdenominational Christian backgrounds. Jackson has been senior pastor of WOC for more than 25 years. Over the last five, consecutive years World Outreach Church has held faith initiatives in Nashville, including a Christian men's conference, bringing together more than 45,000 attendees.

"September 11 was the only open date Bridgestone had available for the event that worked with schedules. It seems like a time appointed by God. We all respond automatically to this calendar date because it is a special time of reflection and honor -- a time of re-thinking and restoring, that of passion and unending thankfulness to those who bravely turned one of the darkest days of history into thankfulness; September 11th is not forgotten. With God's help we will have the know-how to overcome despair by raising the banner of hope. This is the objective of the Give Thanks Event," says Jackson.
