Do you have a teen whose emotions feel huge and explosive—and nothing you say seems to calm things down?Do you find yourself reacting out of fear, walking on eggshells, or second-guessing whether you're doing any of this “right”? In this episode, Colleen O'Grady talks with therapist and author Katie K. May about what's really happening when teens have big, intense emotions—and why common parent responses (like “You're fine” or “Relax”) often backfire. Katie introduces the concept of “fire feelers,” teens who experience emotions as all-consuming, and explains how self-destructive behaviors can become a desperate attempt to shut down emotional pain. You'll learn why validation is the fastest way to lower emotional intensity, how “radical acceptance” helps parents stop fighting reality and start rebuilding connection, and why parents need a plan to regulate their own nervous system so they can respond instead of react—especially when safety is a concern. Guest Bio: Katie K. May Katie K. May is a licensed therapist, author, speaker, and group practice owner. She founded Creative Healing, a multi-location teen support center in the Philadelphia area, and is the author of You're On Fire, It's Fine: Effective Strategies for Parenting Teens with Self-Destructive Behaviors. With lived experience as a teen who turned to self-harm, Katie is one of a select few board-certified DBT clinicians in Pennsylvania. She equips parents and clinicians with practical, trauma-informed tools to decode behavior as survival and create lasting change. Three Takeaways Validation lowers the emotional “fire.” Before problem-solving, teens need to feel seen and understood—validation helps calm the nervous system and opens the door to change. Radical acceptance reduces parental suffering. Accepting “this is where we are” doesn't mean approving—it means stopping the fight with reality so you can respond more effectively. Parents need their own regulation plan. A “stress meter” and a proactive calming strategy help moms manage fear, avoid catastrophic thinking, and stay steady when emotions run high.

Failure feels heavy because we are taught to see it as an endpoint.  Many of us learned early that failure means something is wrong with us. We learned that mistakes close doors and that setbacks are proof we should not try again. But that is not the truth. Failure is often the beginning of a different story. It stretches us in ways success never could. It teaches skill, courage, and patience. It becomes the soil where grit takes root. Most people fear failure because they fear being seen. They fear the silence after disappointment. They fear the comments, the comparisons, and the quiet feeling of not being enough. Yet the people we call successful are rarely the ones who never fell. They are the ones who kept standing up, even when no one was watching, even when the outcome was uncertain, and even when quitting felt safer than hoping again. This is why reframing failure matters. Failure is feedback. It is the voice that says try again with more wisdom. It exposes what we could not see and reveals what we need next. It removes the illusion that perfection is required for progress. And with time, it builds something far more valuable than a clean track record. It builds a resilient heart In this episode, we explore the principles of "failing forward," inspired by John Maxwell's book and shaped by years of real experiences including missed opportunities, hard lessons, delayed wins, and the uncomfortable work of taking responsibility. We redefine its meaning, separate identity from outcome, learn to act before fear takes over, and build persistence when quitting feels easier. If you are building something new, changing direction, leading a team, or simply trying to grow, this conversation offers a mindset shift that removes the shame from failing and restores the purpose in trying.  "If you're trying not to fail, you're probably gonna try not to succeed. You have to be willing to fail." - Dr. Derrick Burgess Topics Covered: (00:00:00)  Introduction (00:01:43) How society teaches us to fear failure (00:02:26) "Failing Forward" by John Maxwell (00:04:33) Step 1: How achievers view failure (00:06:39) Step 2: Redefining failure (00:07:29) Step 3: Remove you from failure (00:09:01) Step 4: Take action to reduce fear (00:09:37) Step 5: Accepting responsibility for change (00:11:05) Advertisement: Struggling with your finances as a young physician?

Long before we consciously think about it, we're already making choices. How much to push. When to stay quiet. What feels possible — and what feels off-limits. Most of those decisions aren't random. They're guided by beliefs we've been carrying for years, often without realizing where they came from.This episode of That Greenwich Life is an invitation to slow down and examine those beliefs — especially the ones LIMITING us. So many of the limits we accept as “just the way things are” aren't rooted in truth at all. They're inherited, learned, and reinforced until they feel immovable. But they don't have to be.My guest, Sarah Sadie Newett, is the founder of SSN, an award-winning movement practice studio in Westport that has built a deeply devoted community of people who return week after week — not just for physical results, but for transformation.

Summary:  In this first episode of the year, the guys crack open the idea of what it means to be new—not just with gym memberships and resolutions, but deep in the rewiring of old patterns, assumptions, and emotional blind spots. Dan kicks things off by admitting his old “default setting” was to walk in the door wondering what he'd done wrong—proof that sometimes the battlefield is the hallway between the garage and the living room. From there, Jeremy confesses his own default: being right about everything. But a surprising comment from his son at a hockey game (“There's so much more going on than what's on TV”) hits him like a puck to the head and opens up a whole new way of seeing relationships. Kevin brings in the pastor's line, “Do you want to be right, or do you want to win?”—and discovers that relational victory doesn't always mean keeping score. Dan, meanwhile, reflects on curiosity as an antidote to assumption, while Jeff learns that geology may rock, but people matter more. Between dad jokes about rock stars, cul-de-sacs, and Fraggle Rock sing-alongs, the group lands somewhere between reflection and revelation: Becoming aware of your patterns.Accepting feedback without self-defense.Taking action toward connection, not correction.  By the end, they circle back to hope. If yesterday was about living on autopilot, this year is about choosing manual drive. “Participating in my own discovery,” Dan quips, “gives me the opportunity to participate in my own recovery.” So whether you're trying to read a face, repair a marriage, or just survive mornings before coffee, this conversation reminds you—every default can be rewritten. Pull Quotes “There's so much more going on than what's on the screen.”“Do you want to be right, or do you want to win?”“Participating in my own discovery gives me the opportunity to participate in my own recovery.” #justtheguys #danholmes #actuallyautistic #neurodiversecoupletips #neurodiverse men

Buyers just got even more in control, and it's excellent news for investors. Homes are now sitting on the market for the longest time in a decade, with sellers accepting thousands less than their original list price. For those who have been waiting to buy their first or next investment property, this could be the sign that it's time to get in the game. But, with mortgage rates (slowly) coming down, will this window of opportunity last months or mere weeks? We're back with our January 2026 housing market update! Dave is getting into it all—mortgage rates, inventory, demand, and why investors are becoming so bullish heading into this new year. Think there's a housing crash on the way? Dave does his favorite thing—looks at data instead of guessing—to show some clear signs that those hoping for a crash will (unfortunately for them) be waiting quite a while. Demand is growing (steadily), and hungry homebuyers are itching to get back into the market. How much time do we have before steady appreciation returns? Stick around, we're getting into it in this housing market update! In This Episode We Cover Sellers are accepting less: How much should you be bidding on houses?  The best (and worst) housing markets in America (updated) Growing buyer demand and signs that the housing market (probably) won't crash Why mortgage rates reversed after falling below 6% earlier this month  Why investors are getting so bullish about rental properties in 2026  And So Much More!

After spending an intensive six-day immersion with the master of personal development, Tony Robbins, Jeannette shares the foundational strategies for shifting your mindset and scaling your business.  She dives into the "Triad" of emotional influence—Physiology, Focus, and Language—and explores how to effectively audit your life by identifying what's missing and what's holding you back. From the five universal "Givens" of life to the six core human needs that drive every decision, this incredible session provides a high-level roadmap to move you from living by chance to living by design. You'll Learn Why: Self-auditing is the vital first step toward personal growth, requiring an honest assessment of what is great in your life versus what is missing. Understanding the six human needs—certainty, uncertainty, significance, connection, growth, and contribution—is key to recognising the subconscious drivers behind your behaviours. Accepting the five "Givens" of life, such as the fact that everything ends and life isn't always fair, builds the resilience needed to handle setbacks. Mastering the "Triad" (Physiology, Focus, and Language) allows you to instantly shift your emotional state and change how you interpret life events. Redefining your "Primary Question" can move you from a state of constant self-judgment to a mindset focused on empowerment and contribution. This episode is living proof that no matter where you're starting from — or what life throws at you — it's never too late to be brave, bold, and unlock your inner brilliant.

Dwayne Kerrigan sits down with world-class endurance athlete, firefighter, nonprofit founder, and keynote speaker Robyn Benincasa to unpack what truly separates great teams from the rest. Drawing from decades of extreme adventure racing, Robyn shares how elite teams win not by being the most talented, but by being the most committed to each other. She introduces her powerful TEAMWORK framework, revealing why total commitment, empathy, adversity management, mutual respect, and relinquishing ego are the real competitive advantages—whether you're racing through jungles or leading a modern organization. Through unforgettable stories—including hallucinations after days without sleep, tying boats together to beat world champions, and redefining leadership mid-race—Robyn shows how purpose, preparation, creativity, and shared ownership create cultures that don't just survive pressure… they win because of it. This episode is a masterclass in leadership, resilience, and building teams that operate as one heart, one mind, especially when the stakes are high and the path forward is uncertain. EPISODE HIGHLIGHTS: 00:00 – Robyn opens with the defining trait of elite teammates: leaving ego at the start line. 01:00 – Dwayne formally introduces Robyn and outlines her extraordinary background. 03:00 – Robyn shares discovering kayaking after hip surgery and focusing on what she could do. 06:30 – Why progress toward a meaningful goal is what makes humans feel alive. 10:30 – Competing to explore personal limits rather than seeking validation or approval. 14:00 – Why great teams care more about each other than themselves. 18:00 – How Robyn accidentally became a speaker after Fast Company's “Extreme Teamwork” 21:30 – The importance of leaving ego behind and accepting help to win as a team. 25:30 – The “Steve Gurney Missile” story and choosing to race to win instead of not lose. 30:00 – Creativity, calculated risk, and living in your strengths under pressure. 34:30 – Relinquishing ego, rotating leadership, and leading based on strengths—not titles. 39:00 – Hallucinations, extreme fatigue, and supporting teammates through suffering. 42:00 – Kinetic leadership and adapting leadership styles to what the team needs. 45:30 – Purpose, coaching influence, and how early mentors shaped Robyn's drive. 50:30 – Innovation, self-awareness, and evolving by leaning into strengths. 56:00 – Finding a greater purpose in business.KEY TAKEAWAYS: Winning teams prioritize commitment to each other, not individual performance. Progress toward a meaningful goal is what makes humans feel alive. Creativity and innovation emerge when teams operate from trust and purpose. Leadership should rotate based on strengths, not titles or tenure. Accepting help is not a weakness, it's how teams move faster and farther. Great leaders show people how amazing they are, not how amazing the leader is. NOTABLE QUOTES: “ I feel weird when I don't have a goal. I get my juju, I get my energy from...

John is joined by Robert Tyson and Cayce E. Lynch, both partners at Tyson & Mendes and Apex Defense Consulting. They discuss how defense lawyers can counter the recent rise in “nuclear verdicts.” Nuclear verdicts are extremely large jury awards, often in personal injury cases, in which pain and suffering or emotional distress awards are vastly disproportionate to economic damages.  These verdicts are a key factor behind the recent, dramatic rise in insurance costs. Over the past 15 years, plaintiffs' lawyers have shifted tactics. While plaintiffs' attorneys used to appeal to jurors' sympathy for the plaintiff, they now focus on inciting juror anger against the defendant. Robert and Cayce obtained the trial transcripts from 100 nuclear verdict cases and carefully analyzed each case. They tracked 60 data points per case and concluded that defense lawyers frequently failed to respond effectively to plaintiffs' shift to inciting anger in the jury.   Their research identified four strategies which, when used together, greatly reduce the risk of a nuclear verdict. First, defense counsel must personalize the defendant to create a connection between the people on the jury and the people working for the defendant.   Second, defense counsel must accept responsibility for some issue in every single case. Accepting responsibility helps take the anger out of the jury.  Third, counsel must give an alternative damages number to the plaintiff's claim in every case. When defense counsel fails to give an alternative number, the jury will often award significantly more than the plaintiff asked for. A University of Iowa study also found that when the defense provides its own damages number, the likelihood of obtaining a defense verdict increases.  Finally, defense counsel must address the plaintiff's non-economic damages such as pain and suffering. This should be done by presenting a message emphasizing the joys that remain in the plaintiff's life. They should also emphasize the impact their alternative damages number could have on the plaintiff's life.  None of the 100 nuclear verdict cases Robert and Cayce reviewed involved defense lawyers who employed all four of these strategies.Robert and Cayce conclude by advocating for a broader sharing of best practices among defense counsel, noting that the plaintiffs' bar has traditionally excelled in coordinating and sharing information and best practices.Podcast Link: Law-disrupted.fmHost: John B.

Goals don't fail for lack of ambition; they stall when a full calendar meets fuzzy priorities. We sat down with productivity expert Demir Bentley, co-founder of Life Hack Method and author of Winning the Week, to unpack a simple practice that changes everything: a consistent weekly planning ritual. Demir's premise is refreshingly real—planning is boring, but freedom lives on the other side. When you trade a short burst of discomfort on Friday for a clear, calendarized plan, you get a calmer weekend and a Monday that runs on rails.DCWe explore what elite success really looks like through Demir's Rubik's Cube lens—solving multiple sides of life well enough to be proud across business, health, family, and finances. From there, we move into the core sequence that turns intention into execution: review your wins and losses, extract a lesson, scan the calendar to defuse landmines, set a few big rocks using the Eisenhower matrix, pick one gold star action, then open your task list and schedule the work. We dig into why most people avoid planning despite believing in it, how discipline creates freedom, and why Friday afternoon or early Saturday morning is the best window to plan and actually rest.Demir also shares how top-down clarity changes the game. Build a simple life map for the year so your weekly choices align with leveraged outcomes, not just urgent demands. We talk about using AI to sort tasks when it understands your priorities, choosing needs before wants, and pulling the levers that compound—systems, assets, and decisions that make future work easier or unnecessary. In tough markets, push where the ball will move: operations, profitability, retention, or even your health.If you're ready to replace overwhelm with clarity and turn goals into real results, this conversation gives you the playbook. Subscribe, share with a friend who needs less stress and more leverage, and leave a review telling us your gold star action for next week. In this podcast you will learn about:• Defining elite success across all sides of life• Accepting time limits and designing the week with purpose• Discipline creates freedom through a weekly ritual• Why most people know planning helps but still avoid it• When to plan and how to protect weekend rest• A step-by-step process for wins, lessons, priorities, tasks• Building a life map for top-down clarity• Choosing leverage, needs before wants, and systems• Playing the long game through operations and retention• Habits for couples to sync logistics and reduce stressHighlights:0:00Why Weekly Planning Matters1:18Show Open And Guest Intro2:06Defining Elite Success6:11Time Limits And The Rubik's Cube7:36Discipline, Freedom, And Planning10:41The One Thing: Plan Your Week12:04The Planning Gap And Why It Exists14:34Friday...

In this episode of The YM Show, I sit down with Jason Kapnick to talk about one simple but powerful idea:Every man can get fit in 2026 — no excuses.We break down:Why jiu-jitsu is one of the best tools for long-term fitness, discipline, and mental toughnessHow everyday men can realistically get in shape without extreme diets or burnoutThe mindset shifts needed to stay consistent with training, lifting, and recoveryHow fitness, martial arts, and self-improvement all compound over timeWhy starting now matters more than being perfectThis is a practical, motivating conversation for anyone who wants to improve their body, confidence, and overall quality of life going into 2026. No fluff — just real talk, real systems, and real accountability.

Join the discussion here: https://www.skool.com/everydayissaturday In the last episode, I shared why I wake up at 3:30am—and why it has nothing to do with looking fit or chasing motivation. This episode goes deeper. Most people don't choose decline. They drift into it. Quietly. Gradually. One small concession at a time. Needing help with stairs. Struggling to stand up from a chair. Accepting fatigue, weakness, and dependence as “just getting older.” In this episode, I talk about the future I refuse to live in—and why pretending it won't happen is the real risk. We unpack: Why decline rarely feels urgent until it's permanent What the medical system is designed to do—and what it isn't The difference between aging and surrender Why motivation fails, but identity doesn't And the subtle choices that quietly steal independence over time This isn't an episode about workouts, diets, or discipline hacks. It's about clarity. Because once you can see the ending clearly, you stop negotiating with the present. And the real question isn't what time you wake up. It's what you're tolerating today that's stealing tomorrow. Join our free group and get in the best shape – financially and health-  of your life. https://www.skool.com/everydayissaturday

BIO: David Siegel is a Silicon Valley entrepreneur who has founded more than a dozen companies. He has written five books on technology and business, was once a candidate for the dean of Stanford Business School, and is now an AI thought leader leading an AI startup he hopes will pave the way for the agentic economy.STORY: David invested heavily in launching a longevity coaching business, believing people would pay to extend their lives through lifestyle change. Despite strong science, personal results, and significant marketing spend, demand proved nearly nonexistent.LEARNING: A great idea without real demand is still a bad investment. “There will be many new problems, and whenever there are new problems, there's a new economic opportunity for many people.”David Siegel Guest profileDavid Siegel is a Silicon Valley entrepreneur who has founded more than a dozen companies. He has written five books on technology and business, was once a candidate for the dean of Stanford Business School, and is now an AI thought leader leading an AI startup he hopes will pave the way for the agentic economy.Worst investment everAfter years of building companies and studying major technological shifts, David found himself pulled deeply into the longevity movement. This wasn't casual curiosity. He read more than 20 books, radically transformed his lifestyle, and developed a deep understanding of insulin resistance, nutrition, exercise, and long-term health.The results were personal and visible. David was fit, disciplined, and energized. The idea that science could help people live 10 to 15 years longer, with a higher quality of life, felt not only possible but urgent. Helping others do the same seemed like a natural next chapter.Turning passion into a businessConfident in both the science and his own experience, David decided to turn longevity coaching into a scalable business. His target audience was people in their 50s and 60s, individuals who were pre-diabetic or heading toward serious health issues and stood to benefit the most from early intervention.He approached the venture like a seasoned entrepreneur. He built funnels, ran Facebook ads, spoke at retirement communities, and spent months on discovery calls explaining how lifestyle changes could dramatically reduce the risk of cancer, Alzheimer's, and diabetes.This wasn't guesswork; it was disciplined execution.The painful reality checkThen reality set in.Despite spending over $100,000 on advertising and investing countless hours in conversations, demand was almost nonexistent. People listened. They nodded. They agreed the logic made sense. Then they walked away.Many believed the healthcare system would save them. Others hoped for a pill instead of discipline. Even those clearly facing insulin resistance weren't willing to make sustained lifestyle changes.The most sobering realization wasn't about marketing or pricing. It was this: most people don't actually want to live longer if it requires consistent effort.Accepting the lossIn the end, only about one percent of the people David spoke to were already doing the work and didn't need coaching. Everyone else opted out, fully aware of the consequences.The investment failed not because the science was wrong, but because the market wasn't there. David ultimately gave the information away for free and walked away from the business, having learned an expensive but clarifying lesson about belief versus demand.Lessons learned

You bought the color-coded planner. You reorganized your entire content folder. You told yourself that once things calm down after the holidays, everything will click into place. But here's what nobody wants to admit: most people don't actually want change—they want relief. And we're constantly confusing the two, especially in January. In this episode we dive into:• Why your January goals are likely designed for relief, not actual change• The critical difference between reducing tension and restructuring your reality• How to identify when you're avoiding the one thing that needs your attention most• The questions that expose whether you're truly changing or just getting comfortableWhen Relief Becomes Your Default• Reorganizing your planner instead of making the uncomfortable decision you've been avoiding• Saving endless content and telling yourself you'll implement it later while never actually posting• Waiting to "feel ready" so you don't have to risk doing something imperfectly• Convincing yourself that lowering your standards is just being realistic about your current seasonWhy January's Promise Always Disappoints• The myth that life will slow down once the holidays end and routines reset• That meme about being an adult: saying "hopefully things will calm down after this week" for 372 consecutive Tuesdays• The truth nobody wants to hear: if you're a high-achieving person, the feeling of needing to catch up never goes away• How holiday slowdowns make you comfortable with lower effort, then January's timeline creates instant overwhelmWhat Change Actually Requires• Identifying that "I need to rest" or "I'm not motivated" is often code for unclear priorities and avoided boundaries• Committing to something basic and repeatable instead of the 7,500 recipes you saved with 17-part ingredient lists• Making adjustments as you go rather than pausing and promising you'll restart later• Accepting that clarity comes after commitment, not before it—and 90 days is your minimum timelineThis conversation reminds us that relief pulls you away from the problem while change redesigns the situation to get you where you want to go. Whether you're convincing yourself that now isn't the right time to have that difficult conversation or telling yourself you'll track your food "starting tomorrow" for the fifth time this week, this episode offers the honest framework to stop choosing comfort over actual progress.Looking for more on goal-setting that actually works?

You made it to 2026. That's your do-over right there. Some people didn't get this chance. They got through 2025 and didn't make it across the finish line. But you did. So what are you going to do with it? I'm not one of those hype-y guys demanding you chase everything. I believe in building a peaceful base first. That's where control lives. That's where freedom starts. From that foundation, you operate at whatever level you want. Today, I'm giving you the MAP system I use with clients who want to design their year without the chaos. Featured Story Once a month, I run sound for my church. The first five times I was responsible for making the band sound good was brutal. Uncomfortable doesn't even cover it. I was mixing audio, sweating through every moment, second-guessing every adjustment. Now? It's like muscle memory. I show up, I know exactly what to do, and the band sounds great. What changed wasn't my talent. I built a system. I stopped having to think about every single decision and started following a repeatable process that works. That's what systemization does. It takes the hard stuff and makes it automatic. It frees up your brain for the things that actually matter. And once you have that kind of freedom, everything else gets easier. Important Points Building a peaceful base in every part of life gives you the control needed to become who you want to be. Accepting responsibility empowers everything, even when you're sitting in a corner feeling cornered by change. Planning 80% of your year ahead creates flexibility, not rigidity, because you know where you're going. Memorable Quotes "If you don't have a solid peaceful base built in, it's really hard to become the person you want to be." "Being accountable and accepting responsibility for the results will empower your success in every possible way." "Everything takes longer than you think. Make sure you set yourself up for the long haul, not the quick sprint." Scott's Three-Step Approach Start with motivation and planning. Know what you want, then map out how you'll get there with intention. Build systems that remove thinking. Systemize everything so you don't waste energy on decisions daily. Stack accomplishments for sustainable momentum. Your freedom rests on a stable foundation that repeats daily.

NIXON'S SABOTAGE AND HAMBURGER HILL Colleague Geoffrey Wawro. Richard Nixon won the 1968 election by using Henry Kissinger to secretly sabotage LBJ's peace talks, eventually accepting the same terms in 1973 after four more years of bloodshed. Once in power, Nixon's continuation of "search and destroy" tactics led to the Battle of Hamburger Hill in 1969, where troops captured a meaningless objective only to abandon it, sparking congressional and public outrage. This backlash forced Nixon to abandon coercive ground tactics and pivot toward "Vietnamization," as the American public would no longer tolerate high casualties for insignificant terrain. NUMBER 13

It’s about compassionate witnessing, offering a safe “container” for their emotions, and simply being there, which builds trust and deeper connection. Key aspects of holding space: Presence: Being authentically and undistractedly present in the moment, focusing on the other person’s experience. Non-judgment: Accepting their feelings and story as valid without criticism or imposing your own views. No fixing: Resisting the urge to offer unsolicited advice or try to solve their problem, which can feel dismissive. Safe environment: Creating a sense of security where they feel safe to be vulnerable and express difficult emotions. Bearing witness: Acting as a supportive witness to their pain, joy, or uncertainty, letting them lead. How it’s different from other interactions: Not “hijacking” space: The opposite is taking over, controlling the narrative, or making it about your own anxiety or ego. Not just being nice: It’s a deeper, intentional act of support, distinct from just sharing laughs or being polite. When to use it: When someone is grieving, stressed, or in crisis. To foster deeper, more authentic relationships. In therapy, coaching, or supportive friendships. How to do it: Listen actively and ask clarifying questions like, “What are you feeling about that?”. Validate their experience with phrases like, “That sounds incredibly difficult,” or “I can see why you’d feel that way”. Sit with them in silence if needed, offering your quiet presence. Communicate your presence, e.g., “I’m here for you, no fixing needed”. _______________________________________ II – #jimswilleybooks “But the angel spoke immediately and authoritatively, saying to them, “Do not be afraid! I am here to announce good news to you…good news of a great and joyful event, and of a new reality! And this good news…this new reality…is for all people everywhere…it is for the entirety of humanity! This very night a Savior has been born in the City of David…a Savior who will perfectly embody the Christ, and will be known as the Lord! If you seek Him you will find Him…and this is what you’re to look for: a baby swaddled in a blanket, and lying in a feeding trough for animals!” As soon as the angel made this declaration, the sky above the shepherds’ heads lit up, and was filled with a seemingly infinite number of angels who formed a thunderous, mass choir, singing God’s praises, and shouting, “GLORY TO GOD IN THE HIGHEST PARTS OF THE HEAVENLY REALM…AND IN THE EARTHLY DIMENSION, PEACE…PEACE TO EVERY SINGLE PERSON ON THE EARTH…AND A REVELATION TO THEM THAT GOD’S WILL TOWARD ALL OF HUMANITY IS ONLY GOOD!”” (Luke 2:10-14 – Luke In The Now/Gospels In The Now) _____________________________ III – José y Maria by Everett Patterson

Accepting the gift that the Savior offers

The first announcement of Jesus’ birth wasn’t delivered to kings or crowds—it was given to shepherds under a night sky filled with glory. Luke 2:9–12 reveals a powerful invitation to come and see the newborn Savior, reminding us that the Good News of Christmas is meant to be received personally and shared boldly. Highlights God chose ordinary shepherds to receive an extraordinary invitation. Heaven’s announcement of Jesus’ birth was marked by joy, peace, and glory. The shepherds responded immediately—moving from fear to action. Encountering Jesus naturally led them to tell others what they had seen. The Christmas story begins with an invitation and continues through sharing. Bold faith has always been central to spreading the message of Christ.

Full Transcript Below: The Shepherds’ Invitation: Come and See By Lynette Kittle Bible Reading: “And there were shepherds living out in the fields nearby, keeping watch over their flocks at night. An angel of the Lord appeared to them, and the glory of the Lord shone around them, and they were terrified. But the angel said to them, ‘Do not be afraid. I bring you good news that will cause great joy for all the people. Today in the town of David a Savior has been born to you; He is the Messiah, the Lord. This will be a sign to you: You will find a baby wrapped in cloths and lying in a manger.’” - Luke 2:9-12 What a terrifying, yet amazing, birth announcement, to be awoken in the middle of the night, greeted with a host of heavenly angels filling and illuminating the dark sky to tell the shepherds the Good News of Jesus’ birth, inviting them to come and see the newborn King. As written in Luke 2:13-14, “Suddenly a great company of the heavenly host appeared with the angel, praising God and saying, ‘Glory to God in the highest heaven, and on earth peace to those on whom His favor rests.’” If that isn’t a royal, over-the-top, fanfare invitation, then what is? Even though the invitation startled the shepherds awake, once they recovered, they willingly accepted God’s gracious heavenly invitation to see the newborn King. As Luke 2:15-16 describes, “When the angels had left them and gone into heaven, the shepherds said to one another, ‘Let’s go to Bethlehem and see this thing that has happened, which the Lord has told us about.’ So they hurried off and found Mary and Joseph, and the baby, who was lying in the manger.” Spreading the Word: Inviting Everyone to Come and See After coming and seeing, Luke 2:17-18 describes what happened next, “When they had seen Him, they spread the word concerning what had been told them about this child, and all who heard it were amazed at what the shepherds said to them.” Accepting the angels’ invitation to come and see Jesus led the shepherds to spread the word by inviting everyone they met to go and see Him, too. It was a divine response from their hearts. As well, once we see Jesus for ourselves, our hearts are moved to invite others to come and see Him, too. Jesus Invites Everyone Jesus entered the world with an invitation, and He left us with one, too. Some of Jesus’ last words on earth are found in Mark 16:15, where He said to His followers, “Go into all the world and preach the Gospel to all creation.” The shepherds on that first Christmas night did just that, spreading the word of His birth and coming to the earth. They also told others how to find Him, and as they did, so are we all called to tell others, too. In school, I knew Jesus, but I didn’t tell anyone, so sadly, I didn’t lead anyone around me to faith in Him. Yet, my future husband made sure to tell everyone he met about Jesus at school, to the point that some other students who had heard about him avoided him. Even so, he still led more people to faith in Jesus than his preaching scared them away. Dr. D. James Kennedy, the late and great senior pastor of Coral Ridge Presbyterian Church and founder of Evangelism Explosion, was known for his tremendous boldness and fearless sharing of the Gospel with everyone he met. He didn’t even second-guess sharing his faith with individuals of other religious beliefs, or let people in high-profile positions in life keep him from sharing the Good News of Jesus Christ with them. Because of Dr. Kennedy’s fearlessness, countless souls have been invited to meet Jesus as their Savior, and countless numbers continue to be saved through his ministries, teaching others to be bold in sharing the Gospel with those around them. Intersecting Faith & Life: As Christians, are we inviting individuals to come and see Jesus, our newborn King, at Christmastime and all year round? Or, are we hesitating, not wanting to offend, or have people shy away from us? Are we like the shepherds so many years ago, willing to boldly tell others because we know it is the Good News of Christmas?
