Craig Carton & Chris McMonigle kick off this edition of "The Carton Show" with a heated debate over the future of New York Football. Giants & Jets could be the next Patriots? Who actually has a bright future if either? Also the guys get into it when discussing John Harbaugh's motivations for coming to Big Blue.

LEARN MORE at http://teach4theheart.com/ In this Teacher Talk episode, Linda and Julie dive into a new teacher's concern and what it really looks like to grow as an educator without slipping into perfectionism or letting nonstop feedback wear you down. If you've ever felt mentally drained by constant observations, overwhelmed by improvement goals, or discouraged by your own expectations, this conversation will give you practical strategies and Christ-centered encouragement for when you feel inadequate. "How can a new teacher take care of their mental health while constantly reflecting and trying to improve, and getting feedback, while not taking it personal, and focusing on perfection? I get at least two formal observations a month and informal feedback at least once or twice a week. I find that focusing on areas of growth are causing me to feel inadequate, and are making me struggle with mental health. I am of the mindset that what you dwell on grows, and magnifies." 00:00 Navigating Teacher Evaluations and Mental Health 02:51 Finding Identity Beyond Performance 06:44 Embracing Weakness and Relying on God Resources/Links Mentioned: Hope Renewed: https://teach4theheart.com/hope Teacher Talk Question Submissions: https://www.teach4theheart.com/teachertalk Hope Renewed: https://teach4theheart.com/renew

In this stirring and deeply encouraging Advent message, Pastor Karl continues the series The King Has Come with a raw and life-giving exploration of the second great gift Jesus brings: peace.Turning to the familiar yet profound scene in Luke 2:8–20, Pastor Karl invites us into the midnight terror of ordinary shepherds—suddenly confronted by the blinding glory of God—and shows how the very first words from heaven that night were not “Merry Christmas,” but “Fear not.” That first Christmas did not begin with sentimental calm; it began with paralyzing, mega-fear. And right there, in the middle of stacked-on-stacked fear, the angel announced good news of great joy: a Savior has been born who is Christ the Lord, the Prince of Peace.With pastoral tenderness and unflinching honesty, Pastor Karl unmasks fear as the mortal enemy of peace—how it magnifies threats, shrinks our view of God, and paints our future in colors darker than God ever intended. Yet the gospel is stronger: peace is not the absence of trouble but the presence of a Person. Peace is not something Jesus gives; peace is who Jesus is—and He gives Himself.Through the shepherds' journey from terror to testimony, we're given clear, scriptural paths out of fear and into the unshakable peace of Christ: speaking God's truth over fear's lies, refusing to agree with the spirit of fear, drawing near to Jesus through spiritual disciplines, and taking bold steps of obedience that move us against comfort and toward surrender.This is a word for everyone whose heart has been ruled by anxiety, worst-case scenarios, or the quiet fears that steal joy—especially in this season. A tender yet urgent call to stop trusting the unknown future to our own control and start trusting it to the known God who entered our fear as a baby in a manger.Because the King has come, fear does not get the final word. Peace does. And when the Prince of Peace takes over a life, what spills out is no longer fear—but praise, testimony, and unshakable confidence in the goodness of God.Essential listening for anyone who longs to trade fear for the peace that passes all understanding this Christmas.Watch all our sermons on our youtube channel "Flipside Christian Church"Join us in person 9:00am & 10:30am every Sunday morning.37193 Ave 12 #3h, Madera, CA 93636For more visit us at flipside.churchFor more podcasts visit flipsidepodcasts.transistor.fm

In this stirring and deeply encouraging Advent message, Pastor Karl launches the new series The King Has Come with a powerful exploration of the first great gift Jesus brings: hope.Turning to Luke 2 and the quiet, largely forgotten figures of Simeon and Anna, Pastor Karl paints a vivid picture of two elderly saints who spent decades waiting in faithful obscurity—praying unanswered prayers, worshiping through silence, and serving without recognition. Yet the moment a 40-day-old baby was carried into the temple, their Spirit-illuminated eyes saw what the crowds missed: the long-promised Messiah, the Consolation of Israel, the Redemption of Jerusalem.Through their story, Pastor Karl reveals that biblical hope is not wishful thinking; it is the confident, unshakable expectation of future good rooted in the unchanging character and faithfulness of God. Hope grows in the hidden soil of daily faithfulness, thrives when God chooses to work in silence, and celebrates the tiny seed because it already trusts the coming harvest. Simeon and Anna never saw Jesus preach, heal, or rise from the dead—yet they held the infant King and departed in peace, because they knew who He was long before they saw what He would do.A tender yet convicting word for everyone who has waited a long time and is still waiting, prayed a long time and is still praying, and hoped a long time and is still hoping. In a season that can feel rushed and noisy, this message calls us to slow down, stay faithful, and train our eyes to recognize the presence of the King—even when He shows up wrapped in the ordinary, the small, and the seemingly insignificant.Because the King has come, hope is not dead. It is alive, resilient, and bubbling up in every heart that keeps showing up and keeps looking for Jesus. Essential listening for anyone who needs fresh hope this Christmas.Watch all our sermons on our youtube channel "Flipside Christian Church"Join us in person 9:00am & 10:30am every Sunday morning.37193 Ave 12 #3h, Madera, CA 93636For more visit us at flipside.churchFor more podcasts visit flipsidepodcasts.transistor.fm

Thia was puzzled. Why was his eighteen-year-old son spending so much time in the library these days? His son, who was autistic and rarely spoke to anyone, would usually return straight home after class. What changed? When pressed, his son finally replied: “Studying with Navin.” Navin, it turned out, was a classmate who noticed that Thia’s son was struggling in class and invited him to study together. This budding friendship—the first in eighteen years—greatly encouraged the disheartened father who’d given up hope of his son ever having a friend. Hope was renewed because one person cared enough to come alongside another who needed help. In Paul’s ministry to the early church, he knew this also applied to our hope of salvation. For believers in Jesus to “be awake and sober” (1 Thessalonians 5:6), living in the hope of His return, they had to help one another (v. 11), especially those who were struggling. That’s why, even though the Thessalonian believers loved one another (4:10) and led lives that pleased God (v. 1), Paul reminded them to “encourage the disheartened, help the weak” (5:14). When we notice believers in Christ who are fearful, anxious, or despondent, and we come alongside them—whether to listen, offer a kind word, or sit quietly together—God can use us to give them the strength and courage to hold on to their hope in Jesus.

I want to meet the family."He: נעמי הרגישה הקלה בליבה.En: Naomi felt relief in her heart.He: היא ידעה שעזרה לאלי לקחת את הצעד הראשון לקראת עתיד טוב יותר.En: She knew she had helped Eli take the first step toward a better future.He: היא גם הבינה שהיא עצמה יכולה לשחרר את העבר ולהתחיל מחדש.En: She also realized she could let go of the past and start anew herself.He: כך עמדו יחד, ילד קטן ואשה עם לב גדול, בעיצומו של חג ספוג תיקווה.En: Thus they stood together, a little boy and a woman with a big heart, in the midst of a holiday filled with hope.He: והם כיוונו אל העתיד, מלאים באופטימיות וגאווה על הדרך שעשו יחד.En: And they looked toward the future, filled with optimism and pride for the journey they had shared together.

Today, we'll be addressing a critical issue for Christian leaders, especially over the last few years. We're talking about burnout. In my own coaching work with leaders, individually and in groups, I've perhaps never seen the level of burnout that I'm witnessing these days.  That's why I'm glad to be talking with Sean Nemecek about his new book, The Weary Leader's Guide to Burnout. You're going to find this helpful, whether you find yourself at that level of depletion or not.  Sean Nemecek is the West Michigan Regional Director for Pastor-in-Residence Ministries and a co-host of the Hope Renewed podcast. Sean is a third generation pastor. He served as a pastor for 18 years before joining PIR. Now, Sean coaches pastors through ministry issues, conflict, forced exit, transitions, and burnout. He also consults with churches and leadership on sabbatical planning, work culture, and pastoral support. His blog, The Pastor's Soul (pastorsoul.com), teaches churches and pastors how to invest in the pastor's joy for the good of the church. Sean has been married to Amy for over 25 years. Connect with Sean on Instagram or LinkedInConnect with Alan on LinkedIn or learn more about Unhurried Living programs on their website. 

In the uncertain and changing world we live in we find a desperate search for hope. The key is to have a true hope, a hope anchored to the right source. If you place your hope in the present world, your wealth, or the people in your life, you will be disappointed. But there is a hope that God gives, which like the rising sun brightens your path.
