With December 25th behind us on the calendar what do we do with Christmas? Where did all the tidings of Joy, giving to those in need, and the desire for more Jesus go? Christmas is a way, not a day, it is Yahweh! Today, on Like It Matters Radio, Mr. Black wants to encourage listeners to stay in the Christmas Spirit. Christmas is a WAY, not a DAY, it is YAHWEH! People need HOPE and HEAT no matter the time of year. We live in a dark, bitter, and self-absorbed world. There are wars, and death, there are marriages and divorces, there is sickness and health. There are good people doing bad things, and there are healthy people taking their lives because of feelings of despair. Helpless and Hopeless, war ravaging our families, our communities and our countries. God sent His Son to HEAL and to SAVE. As followers of Jesus, we get to be his hands and his feet, throughout the year, not just December 24-25 of each year. On today’s Hour of Power, Mr. Black will be joined by Michael Johnson President of the Slavic Gospel Association, with a focus on the children of Ukraine. Listeners today will be inspired and will be entertained, but they will also be called to stay in the Christmas Spirit and to bring some Heat and Hope to the children of Ukraine, to our fellow citizens and to our families! Enjoy today’s Inspiration, Education and Application as Mr. Black encourages listeners to stay in the Christmas Spirit and remember: Christmas is NOT a day, it is a WAY, it is YAHWEH!

Welcome Graham fam! We are so glad you could watch Sunday morning online with us. Sermon Title: A Christmas Spirit – 4 – A Spirit of the Wisemen IntroThis sermon concludes our series on having a Christmas Spirit by looking at the wise men. Just as the iconic “Christmas Song” was written to set a mood, the spirits of Mary, Joseph, and the shepherds set the stage for the first Christmas. Today, we explore how the journey and faith of the magi help us understand what it means to truly believe and prepare for Christ. Scripture– Matthew 2:1-12– Matthew 2:16– Daniel 1:20– Daniel 9:20-27– Hebrews 11:1 Sermon Points1. The mysteriousness!2. The wise men aka the 3 kings aka the magi!3. The source!4. The gifts!5. The future! ClosingThe spirit of the magi is a spirit of faith. They believed in the message passed down through generations for over 500 years. True Christmas spirit involves believing in God’s promises enough to build your life around them and preparing the next generation to be ready for Christ’s work in the world.

Looking Back | The Christmas Spirit | Humbie Cervera by Akouo Church

This week, we welcome a music legend whose voice has become synonymous with the sounds of the season. At just twelve years old, Brenda Lee recorded “Rockin’ Around the Christmas Tree.” She shares memories of recording in Nashville alongside country greats, her deep respect for the team behind every hit, and the enduring value of kindness in a competitive industry. Later in the episode, we’ll hear from pastor, author, and publisher Philip Nation, who has dedicated his career to making Scripture accessible to readers everywhere. Philip opens up about his desire to know and understand God’s Word more fully.

And we just had a ball.” - Brenda Lee “I try to tell the new artists that are coming up, ‘You don’t do this by yourself. You may be the greatest singer that ever walked the earth, but if you don’t conform and listen, you’ll still be a great singer, but nobody will know.’” - Brenda Lee “If you don’t make it on your voice, you’ll make it on your kindness. Goodness always wins out.” - Brenda Lee “I think that walking alongside other people in celebrations and in painful times, and constantly looking to the Scripture to inform, guide, and help you make decisions, to find hope when times are dark, and to be able to magnify your joys when you’re celebrating—to do that together is the very nature of what we see God unfolding in the Bible.” - Philip Nation “[God] is constantly calling people together to live by faith and to walk through this world, not as lone rangers and solitary believers, but to do it together.” - Philip Nation “There is plenty of anxiety and stress and pressure that just flows through our lives, which is why we need the study of Scripture. It’s why we need to be able to pause in prayer [and do as] the Scripture tells us, to pray without ceasing, just to let our hearts be abounding in prayer and our minds being constantly renewed by the Scripture.” - Philip Nation “When I pick up the Bible, I realize that this is God knowing what humanity is all about and desiring to speak with me personally, kindly, and clearly. Even in the midst of stress and anxiety, it is the place we can turn our minds and allow the Holy Spirit to say, ‘I want to meet you and care for you in this moment of need.’” - Philip Nation ________________________ Enjoy watching these additional videos from Jesus Calling YouTube channel!

On today's Bible Answer Man broadcast (12/25/25), Hank begins this special Christmas Day edition by recapping this week's special editions of the Bible Answer Man that featured his acronym, CHRISTMAS. Hank also poses the question: do you have the Christmas spirit? In fact, what is the Christmas spirit? More than the feeling of happiness experienced when we receive a gift or a bonus. The true spirit of Christmas is a spirit of selfless giving, like the Lord Jesus Christ, who humbled himself for our sake and gave us the greatest gift of all.

You're feeling absolutely fantastic this morning! But not for the reason you think. You don't feel good because it's Christmas Eve. You don't feel good because you know what's under the tree, or even because you're off work or have no professional Zoom meetings tomorrow (likely for a whole week!), or that your favorite food is being prepared, or that your playlist is FIRE and the Temptations are going in on ‘Silent Night'.All of these things may very well seem to be happening, but they're not causing that quiet-Joy you're aware of. You're just presently in alignment... allowing yourself to feel good, to experience God. You're currently BEing your true Self! This is your natural state— one of uncaused joy, ease, love, relaxation and peace. What people call ‘The Christmas Spirit' is your original nature, and you can feel this way even on your first day back to work, if you give yourself permission.God didn't come closer this morning, and It won't get further away next week. We just changed the way we are living in this moment. And now we must keep living this way... remembering to recognize that the Light is ALWAYS on inside. That we are this Light.If you can stop waiting for special occasions to remember this background Joy, to feel Go(o)d, to be yourSelf, your life will change drastically from the inside out and very rapidly. I promise you. #MerryChristmasWith you in and AS Christhood,@curlynikki--Our new book, 'Wake Up to Love' is HERE! Get your copy. Share a copy. Be the Love you wake up to!_______________Support GoOD Mornings on Patreon -https://www.patreon.com/c/goodmorningsQUOTES"We all think of the Lord when troubled,never when at peace.But if we held our faith during peace,there would be no trouble."-Kabir Ke Dohe via IG“This is the supreme meditation, this is the supreme worship: the continuous and unbroken awareness of the indwelling presence, inner light or consciousness. While doing whatever one is doing— seeing, hearing, touching, smelling, eating, moving, sleeping, breathing or talking— one should realize one's essential nature as pure consciousness. Thus does one attain liberation.” - The Yoga Vasistha

In this episode, JT,  @TuneThyHeart  and  @demonerasers  delve into various themes surrounding faith, tradition, and societal issues. They discuss the significance of God and the implications of false idols, the importance of understanding the true meaning behind holidays like Christmas and Hanukkah, and the struggles of anxiety and mental health. The conversation also touches on the history of transportation, the influence of big oil, and the connection between prohibition and alternative fuel sources. Throughout the discussion, the hosts emphasize the importance of community support and the need to focus on others rather than oneself. The conversation explores various themes including the impact of resource extraction, urban planning, car dependency, alternative fuels, cultural reflections in media, and the mysteries of ancient technologies. The discussion transitions into the post-apocalyptic narratives in media, particularly focusing on the show 'Paradise' and its implications about society, governance, and the potential realities of life underground. The speakers ponder the historical significance of underground infrastructures and the possibility of a hidden truth about Earth's structure and history.Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/jt-s-mix-tape--6579902/support.Please support our sponsor Modern Roots Life: https://modernrootslife.com/?bg_ref=rVWsBoOfcFJESUS SAID THERE WOULD BE HATERS Shirts: https://jtfollowsjc.com/product-category/mens-shirts/WOMEN'S SHIRTS: https://jtfollowsjc.com/product-category/womens-shirts/

The True Meaning of Christmas (It's Not What You Think) | Karel Cast Every year we decorate the tree, exchange gifts, sing the songs, and gather with loved ones — but do we ever stop to ask why we do any of it? On this Christmas Eve episode of The Karel Cast, we take a deeper look at the true meaning of Christmas: where the traditions came from, what they were meant to symbolize, and how the holiday has evolved into what it is today. We'll also talk honestly about why Christmas can feel magical for some — and painfully lonely or depressing for others. From nostalgia and loss to hope and connection, this is a reflective, thoughtful conversation about what this night really represents in our modern world. Whether Christmas fills you with joy, sadness, or a mix of both, this episode is for you. The Karel Cast is supported by your donations at patreon.com/reallykarel.

This episode explores what I call the miracle before the miracle of Christmas. Before Bethlehem. Before the manger. Before angels filled the sky. God was already at work. In this teaching from Luke chapter 1, we walk through the story of Zacharias and Elizabeth, the priesthood, and the grace of God that moves even when prayers feel unanswered and seasons feel barren. This is a message for anyone who has: - Remained faithful while waiting - Served God without seeing change - Wondered if time has passed them by - Felt marked by past mistakes, family history, or reproach You'll see how God's grace: - Qualifies who we think are disqualified - Answers prayers we've stopped believing for - Removes shame and restores calling - Prepares the way for His promises This message is deeply rooted in Scripture, moving from Exodus to Luke, Galatians, 1 Peter, and Revelation, revealing how God establishes a royal priesthood and remains faithful across generations. Whether you're listening during the Christmas season or any time of year, this teaching is a reminder that God is faithful, even in the waiting.

Join Mike and Tim as they dive into a lively discussion about the essence of family, identity, and faith. In this episode, they explore the concept of "adoption to sonship" and how it redefines our understanding of belonging and community. With humor and depth, they challenge traditional views and invite listeners to consider a broader perspective on what it means to be part of a spiritual family. Tune in for an engaging conversation that blends theology with everyday life, all wrapped in the warmth of the holiday spirit. In this conversation, the hosts explore the themes of faith, family, and community within Christianity, emphasizing the importance of understanding God as a father and the implications of adoption and sonship. They discuss the cultural context of Jesus' teachings, the role of individualism versus community, and the concept of loyalty to God's family. The conversation also touches on the distinction between bounded and centered sets in faith, ultimately inviting listeners to engage in a communal journey of faith. Takeaways: Christian nationalism is alive and well. Father is a status word, not a gender word. To be a part of Jesus is to be a part of his people. Jesus is not your personal savior. We're playing soccer, not rugby. The early Christians did not sharply distinguish between commitment to God and commitment to God's family. Salvation is a social reunification. You cannot be a part of two groups. Loyalty to God is loyalty to God's people. We are playing soccer, not rugby.

Text Me Here!!!Anyone else feeling a little exhausted? Just me? Well good news, this is the week we get to soak it all in, The Christmas Spirit is knocking at our door ready to take over! So I hope you find time to take it all in this week!This morning we are going through Brother Webb's talk, and I learned that I really want to be a better teacher, but even more a better learner. I loved this talk. At first glance I wasn't sure how I'd feel about this, but after going through it and alongside the Teaching in The Savior's Way Manual, which spoiler alert, Brother Webb pulls from his entire talk, it was so eye opening!I hope I do it even a little justice, but mostly I hope that the Spirit can testify to you what you need to hear today. It did to me and I'm so grateful it did!Have a great day and a great week!*****Links: Brother Webb's Talk: https://www.churchofjesuschrist.org/study/general-conference/2025/10/22webb?lang=engAnother Great Talk from Brother Webb: https://www.byui.edu/speeches/commencements/chad-h-webb/scatter-the-cows-july-2025Teaching in The Savior's Way Manual: https://www.churchofjesuschrist.org/study/manual/teaching-in-the-saviors-way-2022?lang=eng E-mail: munchandminglepodcast@gmail.com Insta: @munchandminglepodcast

Birthday Theme | The Christmas Spirit | Humbie Cervera by Akouo Church

Welcome Graham fam! We are so glad you could watch Sunday morning online with us. Introduction:This series on having a Christmas Spirit focuses on the spirit of the people who brought Christmas into existence. Mary had a spirit of willingness. Joseph exemplified a spirit of obedience. Today, we talk about the spirit of the shepherds. Scripture: Luke 2:8-20 Isaiah 55:11 Malachi 3:10 Psalm 66:16-20 Luke 16:10-11 Points: The Lord is still communicating! The shepherds went! The shepherds told! The shepherds were faithful! Closing:Do you want to have a Christmas Spirit? Are you willing? Are you obedient? Are you being faithful in where you are? If you are faithful in the little things, God will trust you with greater things. The shepherds are a wonderful testament of that as we celebrate Christmas!

The last time Trisha Yearwood was on the show was back in 2021, when she was here to discuss a cookbook called Trisha's Kitchen, but this year has been all about music. In 2025, Trisha came out with not one but two new albums, a remarkable burst of energy and creativity. The Mirror, which she released over the summer, was her first album in six years, a personal and passionate collection of songs—all 15 of which she co-wrote—that some have called the best work of her career. Then in November she came out with a holiday record called Christmastime, which she recorded with a full orchestra and followed up with a series of concerts all over the country. Trisha is still cooking up a storm, of course, especially around the holidays. She talked to Sid about some of her longtime Christmas traditions with her husband, Garth Brooks, why they're always one of the first houses in the neighborhood to put up their lights, and the new holiday song they wrote together, “Merry Christmas, Valentine.” For more info visit: southernliving.com/biscuitsandjam Sid Evans - Editor-in-Chief, Southern Living Krissy Tiglias - GM, Southern Living Lottie Leymarie - Executive Producer Michael Onufrak - Audio Engineer & Editor/Producer Jeremiah Lee McVay - Producer Learn more about your ad choices.

Half the plot involves a man reuniting with his father—and his species—after being raised by Christmas elves. The other involves saving Christmas itself from the growing cynicism of humanity. And so like many of its genre, the film “Elf” connects Christmas spirit to the sorts of bonds that hold together families and communities, despite their inevitable tendencies towards conflict and dissolution. Indeed, there's a sense in which Christmas elves are, in making gifts, hard at work maintaining the social fabric against the forces of individual selfishness. But in this story, the elf in question turns out to be a bumbling man-child—a holy fool of sorts—who helps re-enchant communal life by holding up its social deficits to a naive mirror. Wes & Erin discuss this 2003 classic, what it means to believe in Christmas, and how this is connected to the possibility of a genuine community.

We play a game where we test just how into Christmas our guy Danny Rouhier is. Is he holly and jolly?

The rest of the gang has never felt merrier...so why doesn't Slacker feel the same way?

The lights are up, the music is playing, and somehow the joy still feels just out of reach. In this episode of The Be Positive Podcast, we slow things down and talk honestly about what happens when the Christmas spirit feels missing. Not because you are ungrateful, but because life has been heavy, busy, or complicated.We explore why this season can bring up stress, sadness, and pressure instead of peace, and how to reconnect with what actually matters to you. This is not about forcing cheer or pretending everything is perfect. It is about finding small moments of meaning, gratitude, and calm in your own way.If the holidays feel different this year, this conversation is for you. Sometimes the Christmas spirit is not something you stumble upon. Sometimes it is something you gently choose.The Be Positive Podcast is your weekly reminder every Monday, that no matter what you're going through, there's always a reason to stay hopeful, stay focused, and stay positive.

Hosts Spencer Neuharth, Seth Morris, and Randall Williams don their Christmas Spirit in hopes of a visit from St. Nick, interview Kurt Steiner, who holds the record for most consecutive skips with a single rock throw, and bring back some Gear Talk.

After his talking to yesterday, it seems as if Thor has gotten into the Christmas spirit. We learn that his son has finally watched his first Christmas movie but things so sideways once we learn that it wasn't Thor that watched it with him...

Lara and Carey talk their big night at SUR, witnessing Lisa's shockingly LVP toast, meeting Venus Le Fleur, and the cast's undeniable IRL hotness. They also discuss Andy Dick's crash-out and 2000s celeb messes having a resurgence.Back on VPR, the dust settles following Lisa's dismissal of Marcus, and the cast clocks in for a new shift at work: Audrey's LA origin story is revealed, and Chris shows off his lack of employment history. Marcus and his hot brother meet to discuss his schism with Kim and how hard Marcus had it as a kid; Venus has Audrey over to manifest-coach her. The guys head out for a boys' night in Hollywood while the girls square off at SUR, leading to Demy sending Natalie packing for insolence. Chris declares his dream to be a John Varvatos model, and Audrey prepares for her big 22nd birthday bash at the cursed Sonder Hotel. The crew assembles on the rooftop, where Kim breaks down again over Marcus and Natalie's brother/sister relationship; Chris and Jason take turns giving Audrey a lap dance.

Christmas Eve is supposed to be magical—a night filled with joy, anticipation, and holiday wonder. But for one teenager, it became something far darker. This true story of a haunted Christmas begins with a simple tradition: sleeping by the warm glow of the wood stove on an air mattress. But in the middle of the night, the sound of footsteps echoed across the ceramic floor—footsteps that moved slowly, deliberately… and then disappeared back upstairs. The next morning, when he asked his parents who had come downstairs, they were baffled. Neither of them had left their beds. There was no explanation, no prank, no reason anyone should have been in the room with him. To this day, they all swear it wasn't them. Was it the lingering spirit of someone tied to the house? Was it a phantom Santa—an entity born from collective belief and holiday energy? Or was it something much darker, cloaked in the season's disguise? #trueghoststory #hauntedhouse #realhaunting #ghostcaughtoncamera #scarychristmas #santaghost #realghoststories #creepystory #holidayhaunting #trueparanormal Love real ghost stories?
