Matthew 1:1-17Episode 1 - Nov. 30, 2025Jesus didn't come from a perfect family with a perfect story.He came through a broken family with a broken story for broken people like us.Christmas reminds us that God's redemption enters through the cracks.Matthew begins Jesus' story with a genealogy to show that God is patient with long, messy, complicated stories.For centuries, He wove His plan through faithful people and failures, kings and shepherds, revival and rebellion.Your story may feel too far gone or too complicated, but the genealogy whispers:God is not afraid of long, messy stories.Including four women was shocking in a patriarchal culture—Tamar, Rahab, Ruth, and “Uriah's wife.”Each carried pain, shame, and loss, yet God honored them in the Messiah's line.Tamar was wronged and denied justice. Her story says: God sees and lifts the marginalized.Rahab was a prostitute from the wrong city and religion, but she believed God. Your past isn't stronger than His grace.Ruth, a Moabite outsider, was redeemed by Boaz. Outsiders become family in God's kingdom.Bathsheba, the victim of David's abuse, reminds us: God refuses to airbrush sin. He restores the broken.Together they declare: God works through what others hide.Jesus' family was complicated, painful, and beautiful—just like ours.Hebrews 2:11 says Jesus is “not ashamed to call us brothers and sisters.”You don't have to hide your story.The secrets, the shame, the outsider feelings, the addiction, the abuse—Jesus walks into all of it.He came through a broken family for broken families.Your past doesn't define your future—your Savior does.Advent is waiting: for healing, reconciliation, change, repentance, release.God is patient with long stories and present in them.If He can weave Tamar, Rahab, Ruth, and Bathsheba into Jesus' story, He can weave you into grace.After forty-two generations, Matthew ends:“Mary was the mother of Jesus, who is called the Messiah.”The mess prepared the way for the miracle.Christmas isn't “clean up and come to Jesus.”It's “Jesus came into the mess for you.”At the cross, He took Judah's betrayal, Tamar's injustice, Rahab's past, Ruth's outsider status, David's sin, Bathsheba's wounds—and ours.He broke their power and turned shame into redemption.Christmas is costly. God entered through a broken family to build a redeemed one.You are not defined by what you've done or what's been done to you but by what Jesus has done for you.Your story isn't ruined—it's redeemed and whole.CONNECT: https://crossbridgebrickell.churchcenter.com/people/forms/87727GIVE: https://crossbridgebrickell.churchcenter.com/givingPRAYER: https://crossbridgebrickell.churchcenter.com/people/forms/87727Social Media Handle: @crossbridgebrickell

In this fourth episode of Season Ten, Andrew once again has two guests… and they're siblings! Joining him are brothers who as Parra Genealogía, focus on researching family history in Mexico - it's Roberto and Ramón Parra! THE LIFE STORY - FLORENCIO PÉREZ COMOTO Ramón and Roberto have chosen to tell the life story of Florencio Pérez Comoto - the son-in-law of their 5x Great Grandfather.Florencio was born around 1775 in Cádiz in Andalucía, Spain, and when he graduated from medical training, he headed over to Nueva España (part of which is now modern Mexico) and settled in Veracruz. He worked as a military medical doctor and after arriving he found himself deep in epidemiology. After Edward Jenner's discovery of using cowpox to vaccinate against smallpox, Florencio ended up leading the efforts of vaccination against the spread of a deadly smallpox epidemic in Mexico, and encouraging people to get vaccinated.Florencio's work is a success, but when Mexico gains Independence in 1821, he and his family flee back to Spain.THE BRICK WALL - FLORENCIO PÉREZ COMOTOIt's a research brick wall that also surrounds their Life Story choice Florencio Pérez Comoto, that has Roberto and Ramón asking for help.Whilst Florencio and some of his sons were writers, translators, and poets, Roberto and Ramón have yet to find anything biographical about his life during the smallpox epidemic and his family's fleeing back to Spain after the Declaration of Mexico's Independence in 1821.If you think that you can help with a research idea or a clue to help bring their brick wall down, then you can contact them via their Parra Genealogía website, or alternatively, you can send us a message and we'll pass it along.In the meantime, Roberto and Ramón are keen to accept Andrew's offer of help, but it's all a matter of timing...- - -Episode Credits:Andrew Martin - Host and ProducerRoberto Parra - GuestRamón Parra - GuestPharos TutorsAdvance your research with a family history course from Pharos Tutors.Support the showThank you for listening!

With the holidays coming up, now is the perfect time to think of the genealogy projects you want to complete in December. With so much going on this month, such as parties, family get-togethers, holiday celebrations, religious celebrations, and more, it may seem like there isn't much room for genealogy work in the middle of all of that busyness. Yet, December is, surprisingly, the ideal time to tackle some essential genealogy projects, and you can work them into your otherwise busy end-of-the-year schedule. You'll be glad you did. Here are ten "must-do" genealogy projects for December.

Four Features of the Genealogy of Jesus… 1st-A PERTINENT Beginning, v. 23a 2nd-A PROFOUND Theology, v. 23b 3rd-A PREVALENT Connection, vv. 24-31 4th-A POWERFUL Summary, vv. 31-38

Matthew 1:1-16 This unlikely list of unlikely people may be the greatest chapter on the grace of God in all the Bible! In these forgotten names from the past, God turns the spotlight of his holy grace on fallen men and women, and through their lives, we see what the grace of God can do.

This Advent, we'll be deep-diving on some of the more unexpected or obscure ancestors in Jesus's gospel genealogies, linking them with the four themes of Advent: Hope, Peace, Joy, and Love. Today is Advent Week One: Hope. But not the soft-focus, candlelit kind of hope we so often hear from the systems that benefit from the status quo. Today we're checking in with Tamar, a trickster figure who shows us what hope looks like when all the institutional power is stacked against us.

Christmas season is here! While many people will be celebrating all over the world, there is a sad disconnect between the holiday and the Savior we celebrate on it. Who is Jesus really? It’s a question that everyone needs to ask at some point, and I pray they do. The gospel accounts of Matthew and Luke both include answers to this important question. They display everyone’s favorite part of any “Bible in a year” reading plan… Genealogies! Matthew records from Abraham to Jesus on Mary’s side, and Luke comes from Joseph’s side all the way to Adam. One gives Jesus legal credibility to the Jews, and one gives connection to all of humanity as we could all be traced back to the very first man, Adam. These lists of people contain som interesting characters and ultimately point us to God’s redemptive power and providence to be able to use whoever He desires to accomplish His perfect will. Join us this weekend as we launch our Christmas series “With Us”, looking at Immanuel! It truly is a powerfully important thing to know the One who has come, God in flesh with us, Jesus. -Pastor Ben Key Verse - Luke 3:23 (NIV) - "Now Jesus himself was about thirty years old when he began his ministry. He was the son, so it was thought, of Joseph, the son of Heli," Key Passage - Matthew 3:23-38, Luke1:1-17 For this week's Scripture and notes: http://bible.com/events/49517146

Live Sunday 10:30am

The Gospel of Matthew, written by the former tax collector and disciple Matthew, presents Jesus as the promised Messiah who fulfills Old Testament prophecies. Matthew begins with a genealogy that roots Jesus in Israel's history, organized into three sections from Abraham to David, David to the Exile, and the Exile to Christ. This genealogy highlights God's covenant promises to Abraham—land, a great nation, blessing to all nations, and an eternal ruler—fulfilled in Jesus. It also shows God's grace by including imperfect people and Gentiles, reminding us that faith, not perfection, is what God requires. Ultimately, the genealogy assures believers that God uses flawed individuals to accomplish His perfect plan.

Ben Troughton concludes our short series on Ruth in Chapter 4.

In this special episode, the mic turns around. Mason Woodward sits down with Jaxon Cummings—founder of Your Life Legacy and host of this podcast—to explore the deeper story behind the work he does. What begins as a simple conversation quickly becomes one of the most vulnerable and meaningful episodes yet.Jaxon opens up about growing up in a chaotic home of five brothers, the divorce that shook his world, and the moment he discovered his father's truth—and how each of those experiences shaped his understanding of God, identity, and compassion.He shares the painful night that changed everything: losing his father unexpectedly, the regret of not recording his story in time, and how that heartbreak became the driving force behind Your Life Legacy. This episode uncovers the why beneath Jaxon's mission—the desire to preserve stories, heal generational wounds, and help families pass down wisdom before it's too late.Mason Woodleads him through conversations about belief, purpose, fulfillment, ambition, grief, and the sacred responsibility of capturing a life. It's raw, spiritual, emotional, and filled with insights on how pain can become purpose when you decide to let God guide the path.Whether you're navigating uncertainty, searching for direction, or trying to understand what legacy really means, this episode will stay with you.CONNECT WITH MASON WOODWARD*Instagram - https://www.instagram.com/themasewoodward/ *Podcast - https://open.spotify.com/show/2irCRuhcaASPCGu09gOnEy?si=ab8b57ba3bf94c54 LISTEN/WATCH/SUBSCRIBE TO THE “YOUR LIFE LEGACY PODCAST”*Apple Music - https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/the-life-legacy-podcast/id1740167449 *Spotify - https://open.spotify.com/show/2Cd8XFP59Ar864GcaoEDxW *YouTube Podcasts - https://www.youtube.com/@thelifelegacypodcast  *Amazon Music Podcasts - https://music.amazon.com/podcasts/b1949e1f-a973-47da-b1e0-538945afa748/the-life-legacy-podcast *iHeartRadio Podcasts - https://www.iheart.com/podcast/269-the-life-legacy-podcast-165910407 CONNECT WITH “THE LIFE LEGACY PODCAST”*LinkedIn - https://www.linkedin.com/in/jaxon-cummings-%F0%9F%92%AD%F0%9F%8E%A5-24b40a149/ *Instagram - https://www.instagram.com/lifelegacypodcast/ *TikTok - https://www.tiktok.com/@lifelegacypodcast *YouTube - https://www.youtube.com/@thelifelegacypodcast *Facebook - https://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=61558217934317 *Threads - https://www.threads.net/@lifelegacypodcast *X - https://twitter.com/lifelegacypod *Website -  https://your-life-legacy.com/ *Email for general messages - lifelegacypodcast@outlook.com *Collab with us - lifelegacypodcast@outlook.com*Sponsor Us - lifelegacypodcast@outlook.comWE LOVE MAIL AND CARE PACKAGES!: Email us for address: lifelegacypodcast@outlook.comPRODUCTION CREDITS:Recorded at Mindset Content Creation StudiosProduced by Tommy MooreBrought to you by Vodcasts by Tommy Moore Presents - https://www.instagram.com/vodcasts_by_tommymoore/FIND OTHER THINGS LIKE US (Our Friends, People we Support, Products You Should Buy)***Risen Pendant - https://risenshop.com/product/   DISCOUNT CODE: lifelegacyThis episode is brought to you by Your Life Legacy - https://your-life-legacy.com/  HASHTAGS#TheLifeLegacyPodcast  #yourlifelegacy  #jaxoncummings   #tommymoorepresents #tommymoore #vodcastsbytommymoore #personaldocumentaries KEYWORDSYour Life Legacy Podcast, Podcast, Your Life Legacy, Jaxon Cummings, Tommy Moore, Tommy Moore Presents, Vodcast By Tommy Moore, Personal Documentaries, Genealogy,

In today's 3rd episode of Season Ten, host Andrew Martin is joined by tech nerd, un-retiree, and YouTube and Facebook live-streaming genealogist, who is perhaps better known by her award-winning blogging nom-de-plume - it's the wonderful DearMYRTLE!THE LIFE STORY - MYRTLE ELIZA WEISERMyrt has chosen to tell the life story of her much beloved, and namesake, grandmother who was born Myrtle Eliza Weiser in May 1895, in Salt Lake City in Utah, USA.Grandmother Myrtle heads to a strict nursing school. She then gets a job for US $1 a week as a postpartum nurse - involving caring for infants and doing laundry.After marrying in 1917, Myrtle gives birth to her first child amidst the Great Influenza pandemic of 1918-1919 (often called 'Spanish Flu'). DearMyrtle reflects on the experiences that her grandmother must have had as young mother and trained nurse during that flu epidemic, and relates it to her own experience during the Covid-19 pandemic that swept the world in 2020.Moving to Seattle, her kindly ways emerge again - serving as a nurse during World War Two, giving inoculations to servicemen on the waterfront and would bring an occasional young recruit home to have dinner with the family. She also campaigned for children to have shoes.Myrt's fond memories of her beloved grandmother beam from this episode, and has clearly shaped her own life.THE BRICK WALL - HANNAH HUDSONIt's a brick wall in Bisham, Berkshire, UK that has Myrt asking for help. Hannah Hudson and her husband Benjamin Sanders take their daughter Zillah for baptism in 1788, but prior to that, remains a mystery.Myrt has searched for Hannah's origins - checking the parish registers for marriages and baptisms, but she can't find Hannah Hudson's parents, nor her marriage to Benjamin Sanders.A record on FamilySearch gives a baptism of a Hannah Hudson of John and Anne Hudson elsewhere in Berkshire, but there's not enough evidence yet to connect her Hudsons to them.Who are Hannah Hudson's parents?When/where was she born?If you think that you can help Myrt with a research idea or clue, then you can message her via her Substack page. Alternatively, you can send us a message and we'll pass it on to her.In the meantime, Myrt is enthusiastic about Andrew's offer of help, but maybe she knows more than he does... - - -Episode CreditsAndrew Martin - Host and ProducerDearMYRTLE - GuestJohn Spike - Sándor PetofiPharos TutorsAdvance your research with a family history course from Pharos Tutors.Support the showThank you for listening!

India's rich linguistic diversity is both a cultural treasure and a challenge for genealogical research. With over 20 officially recognized languages and countless regional dialects, navigating family records requires more than just genealogical knowledge. It demands understanding the country's linguistic landscape and the right tools to decipher records that can reveal your family's past. But the good news is that, with the right strategies, you can overcome these language barriers and unlock a wealth of genealogical information...

Why does the Bible include so many genealogies? In this episode of The Lenses of Scripture, Dr. T. Michael W. Halcomb shows how these ancient “family trees” aren't filler — they're theology. Through the Genealogy Lens, we see that God's promises run through imperfect people, messy stories, and forgotten names — all woven into His plan of redemption.

Throughout the book of Genesis, which was clearly written thousands of years ago, there are predictions and promises made by God that are inescapably true to this day. God promised that a descendant of Adam and Eve would one day crush the head of the Liar. By virtue of the historical narrative of Genesis and the Old Testament, we can trace the fulfillment of that promise from generation to generation until we come to a manger in Bethlehem.Support the showThanks for listening!

In this interview, we explore how this innovative platform is transforming the way we search for historical newspapers. Show Notes for Full Text Search and video replay. GEM: Comparing AI Chatbots for Newspaper Transcription This segment comes from the Premium episode of Elevenses with Lisa called Comparing AI Chatbots for Genealogy. The full episode is available as a video replay and Premium podcast episode and includes a comprehensive downloadable reference cheat sheet.  Newspaper Transcription Takeaways: In this comparison, Gemini came out as the winner for newspaper transcription. LLMs are predictive, so they excel at the narrative, where words relate to each other. It struggles with names, where each is random. It leans toward interpreting names based on names that appeared earlier in the text (ex. Bruhn) Bonus Tip: After your initial result ask the chatbot to provide you with a worksheet if it appears there were questionable words. Prompt: Leave a blank space for each name you are unsure about that is large enough to accommodate me writing in the name when I print out your answer.  Watch our latest videos on using AI for genealogy: AI: What is it and how to think about it (Premium) Comparing and Choosing AI Chatbots for Genealogy (Premium) AI Vocabulary Terms 10 Powerful AI PromptsAI Research Assistant at FamilySearch 6 Tasks AI Can Do for Your Genealogy (Premium) Nano Banana – Gemini 2.5 Flash Image Creating Location Guides with AI (Premium) AI: Gemini Gems (Premium)   The free podcast is sponsored by:     Get your DNA kit today.    Visit newspapers.com/genealogygems to get 20% off your subscription.    Become a Genealogy Gems Premium eLearning Member Gain access to the complete Premium podcast archive of over 150 episodes and more than 50 video webinars, including Lisa Louise Cooke's newest video The Big Picture in Little Details.

We're throwing it back to the 1996 cult classic film The Craft just in time for Halloween! We begin with a conversation about Hannah and Marcelle's teenage witch phases (of course they both had them), before digging into the filmic landscape of the 90s. Hannah argues that The Craft's interest in girlhood and power was a catalyst that paved the way for pop culture to come, like Buffy and Charmed and Practical Magic. Hannah then draws on Stacy Gillis and Rebecca Munford's “Genealogies and Generations: The Politics and Praxis of Third Wave Feminism" and Jessica Rosenberg and Gitana Garofalo's “Riot Grrrl: Revolutions from Within" to help understand the resonance of film. If you too went through a witch phase, or indeed are still a practicing witch, then this episode is for you!***Works CitedBastién, Angelica Jade. “The Profound, Enduring Legacy of The Craft.” Vulture 27 October 2017. https://www.vulture.com/2017/10/the-craft-its-enduring-legacy.html.

In this session, we use the Africana Studies Framework to reflect on continuities and disruptions in US and global Social Structures and how thinking in and with Africana Governance formations must lead to rejuvenating and sharing connections between memory, ritual and vision. How do we move beyond distractions to embrace ancestral wisdom in order to renew and best utilize our genealogies? Gleaning insight from a variety of past and immediate experiences, this session asks, are we the embodiment of dreams and sacrifices that made our lives possible? Should that even be a guiding question?
