Mary: The Lord's Servant Luke 1.26-56 Gordon Dabbs, PhD Advent often, for believers, refers to is the season leading up to Christmas. The season of waiting. Hoping. Trusting. Advent is the season of almost… but not yet… What is coming upon the world is the Light of the World. It is Christ. That is the comfort of it. The challenge of it is that it has not come yet. Only the hope for it has come, only the longing for it. In the meantime we are in the dark, and the dark, God knows, is also in us. We watch and wait for a holiness to heal us and hallow us, to liberate us from the dark. Advent is like the hush in a theater just before the curtain rises. ~ Frederick Buechner Christmas is not about how we find God. It's about how God found us. And He chose to arrive in a way no one expected. Mary was from Nazareth. Young—likely a teenager. Poor. Unmarried. Engaged to a carpenter of like socio-economic means. When the world says, “Not enough,” God says, “Watch this.” Mary wasn't chosen because she was impressive. She was chosen because she was available. Luke 1.26-29 (ESV) In the sixth month the angel Gabriel was sent from God to a city of Galilee named Nazareth, to a virgin betrothed to a man whose name was Joseph, of the house of David. And the virgin's name was Mary. And he came to her and said, “Greetings, O favored one, the Lord is with you!” But she was greatly troubled at the saying, and tried to discern what sort of greeting this might be. Yes, it is entirely possible to be right in the center of God's will and still feel confused and disturbed at the same time. Luke 1.35,37 (ESV) The Holy Spirit will come upon you, and the power of the Most High will overshadow you. . . For nothing will be impossible with God. Mary speaks words that change the direction of history… Luke 1.38 (ESV) Behold, I am the servant of the Lord; let it be to me according to your word. It is very easy to care more about the approval of others than the approval of God. We want to be liked. Understood. Avoid tension. Luke 1.45 (NLT) You are blessed because you believed that the Lord would do what he said. Christmas is the story of what God can do when someone says “yes.” May we have the courage to do the same.Subscribe to PRESTONCREST - with Gordon Dabbs on Soundwise

Host Tom Godar is delighted to welcome Elizabeth Filter, CEO of VARC, Inc., to the Labor Law Insider podcast for a two-part discussion on expanding a business in an increasingly challenging environment. In this special episode, Liz, best described as a servant leader, explains how creating a responsive, resilient, and respectful culture can drive organizational and individual success. She shines a light on fostering a culture focused primarily on candidate and employee character. Liz has steered the VARC team through a decade of growth and diversification in a business beset with market retrenchment. She shares how retooling the hiring and onboarding process, and reframing the real role of employees, are key to empowering employees to fulfill VARC's mission of providing those with disabilities and life challenges “personalized client services to help individuals experience their community…[and] make every day count…”In Part 2 of this discussion, Tom and Liz will explore how proactive communication and clear employer expectations align her staff. As a result, the likelihood that employees will turn to third parties or mount legal challenges to resolve workplace issues is greatly diminished. Join us for this amazing episode of the Labor Law Insider.

This show is devoted to the engaged philosophy of Dame Cicely Saunders (1918-2005), the pioneer of the modern hospice movement, a movement which includes a distinct philosophy of life which does not ignore, but fully incorporates the inevitability of death, suffering, and the need for meaning. As she writes in her essay The Philosophy of Terminal Care, “we are concerned with the nature of man, with living and dying, and with the whole man body, mind, and spirit…” Joining us today is Hannah Amos, the Perseverance Curator at the Florence Nightingale Museum (FNM) in London who conducted research for the special “In Focus” exhibit on Dame Saunders at the FNM, which opened on July 14, 2005, the 20th anniversary of her death, is currently on display at the FNM until March 1, 2026.

This episode is a full end-of-year reflection and a practical blueprint for setting goals you actually complete. I'm sharing the exact shifts I made that helped me reach every major goal I set this year, feel more like myself again, close the loop on my goals, and build momentum without the scattered energy.   I also give you the framework I'm using going into 2026: how I narrowed my goals down, increased focus and depth (instead of novelty), tightened my routines and boundaries, and invested in support early rather than waiting until I was in "red alert."   And yes, there's a mini life update in here too: a record month in business, and the story of Chris and me getting ENGAGED!!   For the high-achieving hot girls that want to recover better, support glowier skin, and promote longevity through better cellular health, get 20% off your first order of Mitopure and make wellness easier than ever.

Darren and I share some hilarious (and embarrassing) stories from the last 12 years.  Like the time I hid behind a fence from the ex, meeting the kids, dressing the same as the ex, the proposal story, and more about those early stepmom days. We also share more BTS from the "no kids in the bedroom" rule that made the internet go wild.

Actor and comedian Patton Oswalt joins Sam to catch up where they left off during the first Trump administration and how they simply can’t believe we’re doing round two of this shit. They discuss how there’s money in outrage and how it drives engagement, and how news channels take advantage of your cortisol levels to keep you engaged with constant alerts of BREAKING NEWS. Patton explains why he no longer interacts with people on X but still can’t leave his followers behind, and why they both now mostly use social media to self-soothe, while others are left to raw-dog their boredom. They talk about the need for young nerds to go into politics and what Trump would be doing if Sam was still on TV. A girl can dream! Check out Patton’s new special, Black Coffee and Ice Water, available on Audible. Keep up with Samantha Bee @realsambee on Instagram and X.

7/8. The Western Safari, Sheridan's Irony, and the Scientific Ignorance Driving the Wolf Slaughter — Dan Flores— The mid-nineteenth-century American West became a safari destination for wealthy European nobility who engaged in serial, unjustified massacres of wildlife, meticulously recording kill counts as trophy tallies. Flores documents a historical irony: General Philip Sheridan, traditionally maligned as a villain, actually protested the systematic buffaloslaughter and subsequently protected Yellowstone fauna. Flores emphasizes that wolves were poisoned ubiquitously throughout this period due to unscientific Old World superstitions and profound ecological ignorance, reflecting medieval prejudices rather than empirical understanding of predator-prey dynamics and ecosystem function.

Homily from the First Sunday of Advent. The process is the point. When we are waiting, we often want to be "done". We want to be "there". We want our waiting to be over so that we can start living. But life happens right here and right now. And God is doing something right now. We do not simply endure waiting, we engage during the waiting. The declaration of faithful waiting is: I am confident that this moment is crucial. Mass Readings from November 30, 2025: Isaiah 2:1-5 Psalm 122: 1-9Romans 13:11-14 Matthew 24:37-44
