It's New Year's! And in a world obsessed with “maxxing” every area of life, this message challenges us to stop ruthlessly optimizing ourselves and instead center our beliefs on what God has spoken. Discover what it looks like to set your heart and mind on Christ, the true center, and experience the real life that flows from faith grounded in Him.

Pastor Kyle introduces the 2026 vision for Two Cities Church: Centered on God's Word, Sent into God's world. Grounded in Romans 1:1–6, this message shows how vision begins with God and His Word, centers on the gospel of Jesus Christ, and leads to faith that becomes obedience. Pastor Kyle also unpacks why Romans is a uniquely formative book for the church, and why being “sent” starts with everyday faithfulness—living with purpose in your relationships, your neighborhood, and the nations. This sermon calls the church to be formed before being sent—anchored in Scripture, empowered by grace, and moved to respond through worship, prayer, and mission for the sake of Jesus' name.

For The King - Week 1 - Centered Up by The Summit Church

This beloved chapter in Paul's first letter to the Corinthians is often appropriated without much regard to the context. While standing alone the chapter reads like a poetic excursus on the beauty of human affection suitable for wedding vows, the first application pertains to relationships between church members.  Paul insists that love is the necessary precondition for the exercise of Spiritual gifts.  This emphasis was not novel. Paul is expounding applications of Jesus' words in John 13:35: “By this all people will know that you are my disciples, if you have love for one another.”  According to Paul and Jesus, gospel-grounded mutual love is basic to the identity and calling of the Christian church. The central message of the so called “love chapter” is a call to order our affections according to the hierarchy of Christian priorities as the Body of Christ. Given the occasion of the first Lord's Day of 2026, our text provides opportunity to inspire meaningful New Year's resolutions.

Start 2026 with a fresh spiritual focus! Join us as we explore the transformative power of Jesus-centered Bible reading. Discover how engaging with God's word can lead to incredible spiritual growth and a deeper relationship with Him. Get inspired by a 10-minute overview of the Bible's grand story, understand why it's crucial to make Bible reading a top priority, and commit to a year of spiritual transformation and community. Don't miss this empowering message—it's the perfect way to kick off the new year!

 Jennifer Martin Maples, OD, FAAO, Dipl. ABO, suggests some strategies for setting--or resetting--goals for the year ahead. Scheduling rest and relaxation is essential to the effort, she notes. 

This episode of the Italian American Podcast offers a rich and intimate look at the enduring legacy of women religious through a conversation with Sister Helen Sanchez, with hosts Patrick O'Boyle and Marianna Gato. Centered on the Religious Teachers Filippini—an Italian-founded order devoted to the education of girls and women—the episode blends personal vocation, immigrant history, and Catholic education into a single, compelling narrative. Sister Helen recounts her path to religious life as a Puerto Rican woman entering an Italian order, and her years teaching in Italian-American parishes across New Jersey, Ohio, and beyond. The discussion explores how ethnic religious communities shaped Catholic schooling—preserving language, music, and devotion while adapting to new immigrant populations. These institutions emerge not merely as schools, but as cultural anchors for successive generations. The conversation also honors the often-unseen heroism of the Filippini Sisters, from their educational mission to their wartime courage, including efforts to shelter Jews during World War II and the scholarly legacy documenting that work. Personal stories of sisterhood, aging communities, and vocational discernment are woven together with festive traditions, underscoring how faith, culture, and memory endure. Warm, thoughtful, and deeply human, this episode is a tribute to women religious and their quiet but lasting imprint on the Italian American story.   HOSTS: Patrick O'Boyle Marianna Gatto   SPECIAL GUEST: Sister Helen Sanchez   PRODUCED BY: Nicholas Calvello-Macchia

We're closing out the year with a candid conversation about where America is headed.For our final episode of 2025, Halle and Steve sit down with entrepreneur and former presidential candidate Andrew Yang to talk plainly about the forces reshaping American life, from rising healthcare costs and gaps in coverage to AI-driven job disruption and the strain on the social safety net. We cover:

Ever watch a potter center a lump of clay on the potter's wheel? It's crucial for the clay to be centered or the entire vessel will be lopsided or fall apart. In one of the most beautiful poems written about Jesus, Colossians 1:15-23 has a centering effect on all who read it. We need to be centered again and again so we will treasure Jesus more and more. We're all tempted to try and earn, add to or pursue something beyond him. When we begin to believe he isn't enough, will we allow this breathtaking description of Jesus to re-center us?

Thomas Griffin shares how experiencing different seasons of life taught him that change is inevitable and that time is short. Centered on Psalm 90:12, he urges listeners to “number their days” by living intentionally rather than passively, especially in light of personal loss and the uncertainty of life. He challenges believers to take deliberate action in their faith and daily lives, pressing forward into God's purposes with wisdom and urgency. #NumberYourDays #IntentionalLiving #Wisdom #FaithInAction #PressOn

Today is a second message beholding the majesty of Christmas from the vantage point of Daniel's prophetic record.  Last week we considered the interpretation of the king's composite statue vision as a countdown to Christmas.  Today we turn over a chapter to another incident illuminating the glories of the incarnation.  This time from a ‘before and after' perspective, we compare the fiery furnace ordeal survived by Daniel's three friends, with the Mount of Transfiguration in Matthew's gospel.  What difference does Christmas make in world history and the destiny of believers?  The scriptures gloriously answer in their particular instruction and their big picture perspective.  It is primarily from this second point of view that we behold the glories of Christ incarnate in our sermon today.

Welcome to Wellspring Church!In this message, Pastor Billy Waters invites us to linger in the heart of the Christmas story and carry its truth forward: God is with us.Centered on Matthew 1:18–23, this sermon reminds us that the incarnation is not just something we celebrate once a year—it is the defining reality of our lives. In Jesus, God does not remain distant or abstract; He comes near, dwelling with His people in real, embodied ways.Pastor Billy weaves together Scripture, reflection, and wisdom from the Church to show that God's presence is not passive. God desires to be known, welcomed, and wanted, and His nearness reshapes how we live, listen, and respond.

This sermon presents the parable of the prodigal son as a profound illustration of God's boundless mercy and the necessity of genuine repentance. Centered on the younger son's descent into moral and spiritual ruin, the story reveals how the prodigal, after squandering his inheritance on worldly pleasures and facing utter despair, comes to himself and resolves to return to his father in humility. The father's immediate, compassionate embrace—running to meet his son long before he arrives—demonstrates God's proactive love and readiness to forgive, not based on merit but on grace. The sermon emphasizes that true conversion involves not just intellectual recognition of one's sin, but a radical turning from self-reliance to complete dependence on Christ, where the sinner is clothed in righteousness, restored to sonship, and celebrated in divine joy. It calls all who are estranged from God to abandon the far country of self-deception and come home, assuring them that no sin is too great for the Father's mercy, and that salvation is not earned but received through repentance and faith.

Nassau County Executive Bruce Blakeman joins the show, who is presented as the presumptive Republican nominee for Governor of New York. During the interview, Blakeman outlines a platform centered on restoring safety and economic prosperity to the state, citing his successful leadership in Nassau County as a blueprint for governance.  Learn more about your ad choices.

The sermon unfolds a prophetic framework of Advent through four active spiritual disciplines: watch, prepare, rejoice, and behold. Centered on the expectation of Christ's return, it calls believers to vigilant anticipation, not passive waiting, rooted in the promise of God's redemptive plan from Genesis onward. Preparation is presented not as mere ritual but as the outward expression of faith, demonstrating that true belief aligns with action—mirroring God's own sovereign work in history and in the believer's sanctification. Rejoicing is portrayed as a sustained, Spirit-empowered response to God's grace, especially in the hope of future glory, while beholding emphasizes a deep, intentional focus on Christ as the ultimate object of faith, culminating in the eternal vision of God dwelling with His people. Together, these verbs form a dynamic, Christ-centered rhythm of life that calls for continual readiness, humility, and joy in the promise of final redemption.

Hey Friend Today I want to talk about a kind of wealth most of us never grew up hearing about. Not financial wealth… Not the kind you measure with a bank account… But the kind you feel in your soul. The kind of wealth that shows up as peace, space, rest, and the ability to breathe. What if true wealth isn't about money at all… but about margin? Margin in your schedule, your mind, your home, and your spirit. And what if the life you're longing for isn't waiting on a raise, or a better job, or a perfect season… but simply on creating room for joy again? Let's talk about that today. Most moms today aren't struggling with financial poverty, though some absolutely are. But almost every mom I talk to is struggling with overwhelm poverty.  Everyone is stressed out. No time. No energy. No quiet. No space to think. No space to breathe. And when there's no margin, even the simple parts of life feel heavy. Dinner feels like a mountain. Laundry feels impossible. Relationships feel squeezed. God feels distant, not because He moved, but because the noise drowned Him out. This is the poverty the world doesn't talk about. And this is the poverty Jesus came to lift us out of. When you look at Jesus' life, He never rushed & He didn't keep a tight schedule. He walked everywhere. He paused for people. He rested. He withdrew to quiet places. He said no to crowds so He could say yes to the Father. He lived with margin. If the Savior of the world wasn't in a hurry, maybe the pressure we feel to fill every minute isn't coming from God. Maybe it's coming from expectations we were never meant to carry. Margin is something you create, not something you find. And the beautiful thing?  You can build it right where you are, starting small. Margin looks like: • one simple system that gives you your evenings back • meals prepped in two hours once a week so dinner is never an emergency • choosing fewer commitments so you can be fully present • building rhythms instead of living in reaction mode Every bit of margin you create is like depositing peace into a bank account. Bit by bit, your life starts feeling lighter, calmer, more intentional. That's wealth. When your home gets simpler, your heart gets quieter. And in the quiet, you can hear God again. When dinner is already made, you're not cooking in survival mode, you have space for conversation, connection, prayer, laughter. This is where the real riches start showing up: peace in your home, joy in your relationships, clarity in your calling, and a deeper awareness of God's presence in the middle of everyday life. That is abundance. And no paycheck can buy it. I want to give you one small, doable step to start practicing margin: Pick one area of your week where you're always stressed… and create a simple system for it. Just one. If meals are the stress?  Try cooking once and eating all week. If mornings are chaotic?  Create a 10-minute evening reset to prepare for tomorrow. If your calendar feels loud?  Choose one thing to say no to this month. Small changes multiply and every bit of margin you create shifts your life toward peace. Friend, you deserve to live a life you actually enjoy. A Jesus-centered, peaceful, simple life isn't a luxury, it's part of the abundant life He promised. And it starts with margin. Not perfection. Not performance. Just space. Space to breathe. Space to hear God. Space to live.   Here is the link to the FREE NO spend challenge!  See you inside! https://stan.store/ClaimingSimplicity   ~Monica

During this special Christmas Eve message, we celebrate the birth of Jesus—the moment God began building the greatest bridge of all.

From the manger in Bethlehem to the cross at Calvary, this message walks through the story of the Bible in three chapters, revealing how Jesus came, gave His life, and now invites us to respond in faith.

In this final week of Advent, we reflect on love as the foundation of generous living. Advent means “coming” or “arrival,” a season that invites us into waiting, trust, and preparation as we remember the long hope for the Messiah fulfilled in the birth of Jesus. Centered in Matthew 1:18–25, we witness Joseph's quiet obedience, courage, and compassion. His love becomes an embodied act of generosity that makes room for God's presence with us. As we wait together this season, we are invited to practice generous living marked by curiosity, gratitude, and openness to the movement of the Spirit. May this reflection guide us to receive Emmanuel, God with us, and to let love shape how we live and give.

In faith Daniel preached the crown rights of Yahweh in the courts of emperors. His wisdom and prophecy arrested the attention of kings whose greatness was not eclipsed until the fulfillment of his prophecy on Christmas Day in a Bethlehem manger. The events surrounding his ministry foreshadowed the incarnation, coronation, and ascension of the King of Kings Jesus Christ. Early in his tenure as a court official for Nebuchadnezzar, God gave the king and Daniel the same dream and he gave Daniel the interpretation. The composite statue of gold, silver, bronze, iron and clay represented a series of kingdoms counting down to Christmas when a kingdom would overpower them all and reign forever. Taking Daniel's ‘song' of pre-incarnation worship in verses 20-23 of chapter 2 as our outline, we find this occasion confirming his confession of God's grace & greatness in its prophetic revelation and the response of a earthly king.

In this episode, Jon explores why losing hits kids so hard—and why meltdowns over games are rarely about the game itself. Centered on the idea that “losing feels like a threat when a nervous system can't predict what's coming next,” he reframes sore losing as a regulation issue, not a character flaw. Parents will walk away with clarity, compassion, and practical ways to build frustration tolerance and resilience without shaming, fixing, or lowering expectations.Send us a textSupport the showLinks to help you and me: To support the Podcast, Subscribe on Substack Get Jon's Top Five Emotional Regulation Games Get Jon's Book Punishment-Free Parenting Preorder Jon's Children's Book Set My Feelings Free Follow Whole Parent on Instagram, Tiktok, Facebook, Youtube

In this episode, I talk about the discipline of "getting centered"—why nothing good ever comes from FOMO or fear, and how I train myself to sit on my hands until the setup is perfect. I break down my recent long positions in Chinese equities (betting on the sentiment pendulum swinging back) and why I am seeing massive opportunities in commodities like Glencore while everyone else is chasing US AI.Key Topics:The Mental Game: Why I don't trade unless I'm centered and acting with "aggression and firmness" rather than anxiety.The China Thesis: The AI arms race and buying when the market is "uninvestable."Commodities: How I use custom price-action baskets to spot breakouts in hated sectors.Market Outlook: Why I'm waiting for better entries on US Tech/AI.

In this episode, Jon explores why parents often find themselves reacting on autopilot—saying things they swore they'd never say, in a tone that feels uncomfortably familiar. Centered on the idea of “factory default settings,” he explains how stress, fatigue, and old neural pathways quietly take over, even when our values are different. Parents will leave with relief, self-compassion, and practical nervous-system tools to interrupt inherited patterns and respond with more intention when it matters most.Send us a textSupport the showLinks to help you and me: To support the Podcast, Subscribe on Substack Get Jon's Top Five Emotional Regulation Games Get Jon's Book Punishment-Free Parenting Preorder Jon's Children's Book Set My Feelings Free Follow Whole Parent on Instagram, Tiktok, Facebook, Youtube

In this episode of The Positive Pause®, Claire Gill sits down with Dr. Soma Mandal, a leading board-certified Internist and midlife women's health expert, to talk about her personal path into women's health, the evolution of menopause care, her podcast “Soma Says”, and her major new role developing a comprehensive Women's Health Center. The conversation highlights advocacy, education, prevention, and the importance of empowering women to put themselves first.Dr. Mandal never planned to specialize in women's health, but her patients naturally gravitated toward her—first younger women facing infertility, then midlife women navigating menopause and aging. Her own health challenges reinforced her passion for this work. Training during the Women's Health Initiative fallout shaped her early medical approach. With hormone therapy suddenly deemed dangerous, an entire generation of clinicians avoided it. Today's improved understanding requires re-educating both clinicians and patientsBeginning in January 2026, she will be joining Hackensack Meridian Health as the Medical Director of Women's Health at Jersey Shore University Medical Center, where she'll be building a comprehensive, multidisciplinary women's health center. The goal is integrated care coordinated across cardiology, endocrinology, gynecology, behavioral health, and primary careKey Points CoveredWhy Advocacy Matters — Even for Doctors - Through her own infertility and medical challenges, Dr. Mandal learned how essential self-advocacy is. She encourages women to speak up, ask questions, and push for what they need—even when clinicians are dismissive or overburdened.The Origin of Her Podcast, Soma Says is a return to her lifelong passion for educating and uplifting women. Guests discuss menopause, Alzheimer's, incontinence, prevention, emotional well-being, and more—reaching listeners worldwide.The Challenge of Navigating a Fragmented Healthcare System - Women often get lost between specialists, especially when dealing with complex diagnoses. A coordinated center reduces confusion, prevents delays in treatment, and eases the burden on women who already juggle caregiving and work responsibilities.The #1 Thing Women Don't Know: Heart Disease Is Their Greatest Risk - Many women still don't realize that heart disease—not breast cancer—is the leading cause of death for women. Dr. Mandal stresses early screening, understanding family history, and taking preventive measures long before symptoms appear.The Power of Education & Community Advocacy - Podcasts, social media, and patient advocacy groups help fill major gaps in clinical education. Giving women accurate information—especially about menopause, heart health, and bone health—empowers them to take control of their wellbeing.Her #1 Action Step for Women: Put yourself first - Whether it's scheduling a physical, taking a walk, asking a partner to cover a chore, or carving out 15 minutes to breathe—women must prioritize their own health. Most women aren't even on their own to-do lists.This episode highlights the gaps in women's health—and the passionate experts committed to closing them. Dr. Soma Mandal offers women a roadmap: learn, advocate, ask questions, and prioritize your own wellbeing.Connect with Dr. Mandal Website: https://www.somamandalmd.com/ Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/Soma-Mandal-MD-437643206820996/Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/drsomamandalmdLinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/somamandal/ YouTube Channel:

Send us a textWriter/director Jeff Hupp joins The Fixate & Binge Podcast to discuss his 2025 indie feature BAND ON THE RUN— a heartfelt, DIY road-trip film shot in just eight days that captures a fleeting moment in the late 1990s Detroit Garage Rock scene.Centered on the rock trio 'Hot Freaks', the film follows drummer Jesse Grant (Matthew Perl) as he rallies his bandmates to chase a last-chance opportunity to play SXSW, hoping to escape the gravitational pull of dead-end jobs and inherited disappointment. What begins as a familiar “band on the road” story becomes something more intimate when Jesse's paraplegic father (Larry Bagby) joins the journey — grounding the film in a deeply human exploration of ambition, regret, and the fragile bond between parent and child.In this conversation, Hupp reflects on Detroit's often-overlooked music history, the realities of ultra-low-budget filmmaking, his own background in advertising, and why Band on the Run is ultimately less about success than the courage to try. Drawing inspiration from films like ALMOST FAMOUS and THE COMMITMENTS, the episode celebrates artists who dare to take their shot — even when the odds are stacked against them.Band on the Run is now streaming on Amazon Prime!Thank you for listening!

This Christmas message speaks to the tension we all feel—being so busy with life that we miss what matters most. Centered on Luke 2 and the birth of Jesus, the sermon challenges listeners to ask an honest question: Are we truly present this season, or just physically nearby while God is doing something significant? Through the familiar Christmas story, we see how ordinary busyness caused even those closest to Jesus to miss the miracle unfolding right in front of them.This message invites us to slow down and make room for God in practical ways—our schedules, our spending, and our conversations. More than a reminder to be less distracted, this sermon is an invitation to step fully into the Christmas story, not just observe it. For anyone who feels like something is missing this season, it points to Jesus as the true gift and offers a simple, meaningful step toward a life-changing relationship with Him.

The last 5 songs in the Psalter beginning with our text today, all open and close with the refrain & adjuration: “Praise the Lord!”.  If the entire book were one great song, these last five chapters could be the chorus.  All the notes of remembrance, lament, repentance, consolation, victory, wisdom, providence, redemption, judgement, prophecy, revelation, and more reach a crescendo in this final set of hymns in history's preeminent song book. As the author(s) reprise themes recurring throughout the Psalms, they find their resolution in the proclamation of Yahweh's absolute sovereignty.  The shape of the book proclaims to all humanity in audience the majesty and authority the one true God even as it assures the sincere singer of his unbreakable covenant bonds with that same Lord of all.  The book of Psalms is a universal call to worship and the response to this call will resound for all of history and eternity on the lips and in the hearts of the redeemed…
    NOTE context & application: Psalm 146 doubles as a profound advent song— to prepare hearts in anticipation of Messiah's arrival, and with Him, the fulfillment of prophecy and the hope of His people.

Cassel finally tells the complete, unfiltered stories from his legendary prank war with Tom Brady (glitter bombs, stolen tires, Atomic Balm in the underwear—the works), reacts to Philip Rivers un-retiring, explains how to fix the college football mess, and locks in his official Bills-Patriots pick.
