Send us a textThe truth is, the world you see on social media is not real. Clothes are borrowed, selfie backdrops are designed and props are bought to create the image the creator wants people to believe exists. All these things are created just to get you to believe that what you see is real, and cause you to want those things or that lifestyle. Because that lifestyle and those things are not real, you can not base your real life on a computer image. This season, come out from what the world is telling you to celebrate and celebrate real life abundantly.We discuss the following topics:- Christmas the way the world wants you to live, according to the desires of the flesh.- Spiritual cycles of bondage that is increased around Christmas- Christmas life in balance and not through addiction/temptation- Christmas, living life according to the Spirit- ThankfulnessThis program covers the following Scriptures from the Amplified Classic version (AMPC): 1 John 2:16-17, Genesis 1:26, Matthew 16:26, Ecclesiastes 5:10, Romans 13:8, Ephesians 2:3, 1 Corinthians 10:13, Matthew 6:9-13, Colossians 3:2, Philippians 4:7, Matthew 26:41, Proverbs 14:30, Galatians 5:16-25, Romans 8:12-14, Colossians 4:2, Philippians 4:4-6, 1 Thessalonians 5:17-18.Support the showSend Us Your Prayer Request.

The true meaning of Christmas resides in the miracle of the incarnation, revealed as God making His home with us. The gifts of life, light, and grace brought by Jesus offer hope and redemption in a world filled with darkness.

In this episode of The Brief Dive, I'm joined by my cousins for a night of games, laughs, and questions that probably should've stayed unanswered. We play Who's Most Likely To, throw out funny scenario-based questions, and dive into some surprisingly juicy personal topics that reveal way more than just holiday vibes.Between the jokes and call-outs, old childhood stories resurface, family dynamics get exposed, and the conversation shifts from pure comedy to moments that actually make you think. It's chaotic, hilarious, and real — exactly how family conversations tend to go when everyone's home for the holidays.If you like honest conversations, playful debates, and seeing what questions really reveal about people… this is the Christmas episode to watch.SUBSCRIBE TO THE PODCAST: https://www.youtube.com/@thebriefdivepodcast/videos?sub_confirmation=1LISTEN ON:SPOTIFY: https://open.spotify.com/show/2cPd9uVZqjmEmM9VF0zuGg?si=ef2246bd89c34b4APPLE PODCASTS: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/the-brief-dive/id1551664039FOLLOW ON:INSTAGRAM: https://www.instagram.com/thebriefdive?igsh=cm5iaWEyazRvMnpySNAPCHAT: https://snapchat.com/t/zzap27fGTIKTOK: https://www.tiktok.com/@thebriefdive?_t=8qIJLtOvM0l&_r=1INTRO MUSIC: INSTAGRAM: https://www.instagram.com/valmaddoxaero?igsh=MWJraWRoYmE4aXN6Mg==TIKTOK: https://www.tiktok.com/@val_maddox_music?_t=ZT-8yRqOSfTGFj&_r=1Timestamps:00:00 Preview0:23 Intro1:07 Question 12:33 Question 23:31 Question 34:47 Question 47:01 Question 59:11 Question 610:21 Question 710:36 Question 812:30 Question 912:56 Question 1013:22 Question 1113:44 Question 1215:06 Question 1316:23 Question 1417:47 Question 1519:36 Question 1620:10 Question 1721:04 Question 1821:11 Question 1921:23 Question 2021:29 Question 2123:46 Question 2224:40 Question 2325:57 Question 2428:09 Question 2529:13 Question 2631:18 Question 2731:43 Question 2834:07 Question 2939:21 Question 3041:40 Question 3147:35 Dive & Deliver54:28 Outro

The Christmas season is one of the busiest and most complex times of the year for many of us.  We spend so much time decorating our homes, planning for and attending parties, shopping and buying gifts for family and friends, attending our kids and grandkids special events at school, being with family we haven't seen in a while, and so much more.  By the time Christmas arrives, we're usually glad that all of the frantic pace that we have lived with is behind us.  What a contrast it is from the original Christmas!  On a winter night about 2,030 years ago, Jesus was born in a manger with little fanfare from a preoccupied world.  The birth of Jesus was a simple event that is so different from what we see all around us at Christmas all these years later.  Yet, while Christmas was a simple event, it's meaning, significance and impact on the world was profound and transformative beyond what anyone could ever fully grasp then and even now.  In this series, we'll help provide clarity and depth to the true meaning and significance of Christmas, and help you get back to a more simple appreciation for the profound mystery of God coming into the world as a man in His Son Jesus Christ.

This sermon is drawn from John 1:1-18 and Revelation 12:1-6.

It's the most inanimate time of the year! Kicking off our new Anthology series - Movies Set at Christmas, That Aren't Christmas Movies - the boys revisit one of their all-time favourites: In Bruges (2008). Tommy's been watching Diddy: The Reckoning (it's… a lot), while DL's juggling The Wheel of Time: Book 2 andTrue Grit the OG, both highly recommended. Then it's time to check into Belgium's darkest fairy tale, where the snow is festive, but the mood is not.Timecodes:(00:00) Intro(06:50) What Have You Been Up To?(20:50) MAIN TOPIC: In Bruges (2013)(22:00) Stupid Plot Summary(25:40) Plot(29:30) One human, the rest are Muppets?(30:38) Acclaim vs Success(40:40) Characters(45:30) Direction(50:31) Four Oscar Nominees...(51:53) TRIVIA: Fake or Not Fake?(57:17) Miscellaneous Notes(59:19) Tones & Themes(1:03:35) 3 Best & 3 Worst(1:08:17) Critical Reception(1:08:26) Better or Worse than Aquaman (2018)?(1:09:17) Better or Worse than Aquaman (2018)?(1:10:01) Trivia True or False(1:14:09) Wrapping UpMain Topic:In Bruges is Martin McDonagh's pitch-black comedy about guilt, purgatory, and accidentally kicking a dwarf. Colin Farrell and Brendan Gleeson shine as two hitmen laying low after a job gone wrong, while Ralph Fiennes turns up to scream about principles. It's foul-mouthed, funny, and somehow heartfelt, like Home Alone if Kevin had PTSD and a Browning. DL calls it a masterpiece. Tommy would probably fight someone over that opinion. Everyone agrees: this is not a Christmas movie—but it kind of is.Is In Bruges the best anti-Christmas Christmas movie ever made? Let us know at thepodcastassemble@gmail.com or hit us up on socials.

Charlie and Miles have ‘gifted' each other episodes of Star Trek to talk about, both good and bad. The problem with being casual about Star Trek is you just don't know all of what's out there. That's what the Casual Trek mission is for, after all. This year the gang are doing something different, talking about a film that's adjacent to Star Trek, and even some Trek actors say is the best Star Trek movie: Galaxy Quest.

Luke 2:1-10: The Perfect Christmas (Christmas 2025 Special Message) taught by Associate Pastor Justin Butorac on 12-21-25.

We trace Isaiah's promise of Emmanuel through Matthew's Gospel and show how Jesus' four names answer fear, division, and doubt during the Christmas season. Presence, not performance, sits at the center: grace given, peace established, and hope made concrete in a person.• Isaiah's prophecy to a nation in darkness• Emmanuel as the promise of presence• Grace as a gift received not earned• Government on his shoulders as true authority• Wonderful Counselor as wisdom beyond human limits• Mighty God as power restrained and victorious• Everlasting Father as faithful, unfailing care• Prince of Peace as authority that calms and confronts• Invitation to respond in prayer and trustThere's people right over here on the floor. Maybe the person next to you, maybe you just need to say, hey, listen. I need someone to pray with me.Thanks for listening! Follow us on Facebook or YouTube.

Our favorite week of the year - the time when we determine "IF" a movie "IS" a Christmas movie or not. This year season we take on Goodfellas, a brilliant movie that is based on a true story. Directed by Martin Scorcese, we find elements of Christmas - Christmas trees and a bar decorated for Christmas. The infamous Lufthansa Heist (that takes place on December 11,1978)...BUT...is it a Christmas movie or not? Join Michael and Jeffrey as they deliver a definitive answer (while exploring this great film)

In celebration of the Pogues' 'Fairytale of New York' EP, we take a detailed look at how their classic Christmas single came together. The Pogues originally formed in London in 1982 by Shane MacGowan, Spider Stacy and Jem Finer. MacGowan had gotten his start playing in the punk band, the Nipple Erectors, and when that band broke up, he began playing in an Irish traditional music style. Gradually, he brought in James Fearnley, Cait O'Riordan and John Hasler to become a sextet. Andrew Ranken replaced John Hasler as they signed with Stiff Records. Their debut album, Red Roses for Me, was released in 1984. For their second album, they added Philip Chevron on guitar and hired Elvis Costello as their producer. Rum Sodomy & the Lash was released in 1985, and they continued working with Costello for the Poguetry in Motion EP, released in 1986. At this point, Cait O'Riordan left the band and they updated the lineup to include Darryl Hunt and Terry Woods. They signed to Island Records and hired Steve Lillywhite to produce their third album. If I Should Fall from Grace with God was eventually released in 1988 and included the Christmas single, “Fairytale of New York.”  In this episode, Steve Lillywhite describes working with the Pogues at this pivotal time in their career when they were expanding the lineup and becoming more ambitious with their song structures and arrangements. Despite not having experience recording a traditional folk band, Lillywhite proved to be the right producer for the Pogues at this moment. His input and confidence in the studio led to them splicing two sections of “Fairytale of New York” together and also enlisting his wife Kirsty MacColl to sing the female part in the song. Jem Finer talks about his initial writing process for the song and how he wrote two potential Christmas ideas that his wife Marcia dismissed as being far too sentimental. Her input led to him rethinking the song and writing about a down on their luck couple, inspired by people who lived in their neighborhood in London. Finer describes how Shane MacGowan then took the song and moved the setting to New York City and added some key lines that were taken from real conversations. James Fearnley describes the thrill of recording the opening section with just piano and voice and how he practiced repeatedly to be able to get that part right. He talks about how the song deserved an ambitious string arrangement and so he worked out some ideas on a synthesizer before bringing in Fiachra Trench to help with the orchestration. By taking inspiration from film scores like Ennio Morricone's Once Upon a Time in America and Leonard Bernstein's On the Waterfront, Fearnley talks about wanting to bring a cinematic sound to match the classic American story that was being told. From the song's long gestation period of a few years, to Steve Lillywhite bringing the tapes home and casually asking Kirsty MacColl to sing on it, to the inspiration behind the classic “I could've been someone”  line, to the initial disappointment of getting to number 2 in the charts, to the perfect sparring duet partners in Shane and Kirsty, to the anti-Christmas Christmas song that has become timeless, we'll hear the stories of how the record came together. 

Christmas chaos creeping in? This episode dives into the magic of festive films—and how they can buy you a precious pocket of peace. Justin and Kylie share their top kid-friendly Christmas movies (and a few grown-up gems), the surprising stories behind them, and why the right film at the right moment can reset the whole family. Perfect for parents who want joy, calm, nostalgia…and maybe a chance to wrap presents without being ambushed. KEY POINTS Why Christmas feels like a tug-of-war between calm and chaos—and how movies can soften the edges. Top kid-friendly Christmas films that uplift, entertain, and keep kids happily occupied. The unexpected origins and charm behind Klaus, Arthur Christmas, and more. Classics that still land for teens (Home Alone, The Santa Clause). Honourable mentions for grown-ups—yes, even the ones Justin hasn’t watched yet. A gentle reminder to pause and reconnect with the meaning of Christmas, whatever your family’s traditions. QUOTE OF THE EPISODE "When your kids are in your arms, they can’t possibly be underfoot." RESOURCES MENTIONED Happy Families Christmas webinars: Tis the Season to be Cranky and How to Unspoil your Kids this Christmas Christmas movie recommendations: Klaus, Arthur Christmas, Elf, Home Alone, The Santa Clause, Christmas Chronicles, faith-based nativity films. ACTION STEPS FOR PARENTS Choose one new Christmas movie to watch together this week—something uplifting and connection-building. Pick a “parent break” movie (a solid, guilt-free screen-time choice) to occupy the kids while you wrap, prep, or recharge. Consider a short nativity or values-focused film to spark meaningful family conversations. Keep your movie list saved for the entire month to avoid decision overwhelm on busy days.

Join Pastor Cameron as he begins discussing the next reason for Christmas - Christmas exists because we needed a King! Jesus came as the Perfect King and Ruler that we always needed. 

This week, we looked at the real tension of Christmas: Christmas is about a King, but most of us don't actually want a king. We love the idea of a God who blesses, comforts, and helps. But a God who rules us? Who directs our steps, says “no,” and sits on the throne of our lives? That is where things get uncomfortable. Follow us on our Facebook and Instagram pages and subscribe to our YouTube Channel to see how God is moving at MetaChurch.Support the show

Merry everything from our corner of the internet to you! -Jeri & Ciara WE'RE GOING ON TOUR - ladiesandtangents.comWE'RE ON PATREON - patreon.com/ladiesandtangentsMERCH - ladiesandtangents.com/lt-merch*NEW* SUBMIT YOUR STORIES - landtstories@gmail.comFOLLOW ALONG WITH US ON SOCIAL MEDIA - @ladiesandtangents GAZA/WEST BANK RESOURCES-https://medium.com/@scholarscoalition/for-immediate-release-u-s-4c2aecd11535https://irusa.org/middle-east/palestine/https://buildpalestine.com/2021/05/15/trusted-organizations-to-donate-to-palestine/https://www.vox.com/2015/5/14/18093732/israel-palestine-misconceptionshttps://www.goodreads.com/en/book/show/52045757
