Is there "Room in the Inn?"

Episode: Jason Staples and Stephen Carlson try to ruin your Nativity! Jason discusses Stephen's essay "The Accommodations of Joseph and Mary in Bethlehem: Κατάλυμα in Luke 2:7." They also discuss when and how Mary and Joseph get married, the census in Luke 2:2, and ... (wait for it) ... the Spanish Inquisition.  Guest: Dr. Stephen Carlson is Associate Professor in the Biblical and Early Christian Studies program at the Australian Catholic University. He's the author of three books, The Gospel Hoax: Morton Smith's Invention of Secret Mark (Baylor, 2007), which debunked the "Secret Gospel of Mark"; The Text of Galatians and its History (Mohr Siebeck, 2014), which applied state-of-the-art computer phylogenetic software he wrote himself to produce a family tree of ninety-two manuscripts and witnesses of Galatians; and Papias of Hierapolis' Exposition of Dominical Oracles (Oxford, 2021), the most complete edition of the fragments of Papias of Hierapolis, a second-century Christian commentator. He is also the author of numerous peer-reviewed journal articles, including his article on the so-called "inn" in Luke's infancy account (under discussion in this episode) and essays on the donkeys in Matthew's triumphal entry: Stephen C. Carlson, “‘The Jenny and the Colt' in Matthew's Messianic Entry, Part 1: Matthew 21:5 as a Reading of Zechariah 9:9 in Light of Mark 11:1-10,” in the Catholic Biblical Quarterly, volume 81, number 1 (January 2019), pages 62-84 (link). Stephen C. Carlson, “‘The Jenny and the Colt' in Matthew's Messianic Entry, Part 2: Matthew 21:7 as a Reading of Mark 11:7 in Light of Zechariah 9:9,” in the Catholic Biblical Quarterly, volume 81, number 2 (April 2019), pages 235-251 (link).

The Son of God didn't arrive in a palace surrounded by royalty. Instead, He was laid in an animal's feeding trough, wrapped in strips of cloth, born in the humblest of circumstances. Pastor John Munro reveals why Jesus came in poverty so that we might become rich.

Rætt er við Sveinbjörn Indriðason forstjóra ISAVIA um reksturinn á Keflavíkurflugvelli í tilefni af nýrri farþegaspá fyrir árið 2026. Spáin gerir ráð fyrir töluverðri fækkun farþega um völlinn og munar þar mestu um 15% færri tengifarþega. Sveinbjörn segir að þessi fækkun muni hægja á framkvæmdum á vellinum, tekjurnar minnki á sama tíma og kostnaður hækkar sem hefur áhrif á afkomuna. Hann leggur samt áherslu á að ISAVIA horfi í gegnum tímabundna niðursveiflu, haldi uppi góðri þjónustu og allt verði tilbúið til að grípa tækifærin þegar umferð og farþegum fjölgar á ný um tengimiðstöðina. Forstjórinn ræðir einnig málefni Reykjavíkurflugvallar, afturvirka reglugerð innviðaráðherra eftir fall Play, samningamál við flugumferðarstjóra og margt fleira. Áhugavert spjall við forstjóra ISAVIA- fyrirtækis sem er í lykilhlutverki í flugmálum okkar Íslendinga.

This sermon is drawn from Luke 2:1-20.

In the final message of our Christmas series The God Who Comes Close, Ps Dan explores one of the most challenging truths of the Christmas story: there was no room at the inn.Many people aren't rejecting Jesus — they're just busy, distracted, and full. From Luke 2 and Matthew 2, this message invites us to slow down, clear space, and allow Jesus to reorder our priorities, our worship, and our direction.In this message we explore:• Why crowded hearts often miss divine moments• How worship requires surrender and costly obedience• Why real encounters with Jesus always change our direction• What it looks like to make room for the King in everyday lifeThis is a timely and honest invitation to pause, reflect, and respond — not just at Christmas, but as a way of life.

Every detail of Christ's birth was planned.  The time, the place... all orchestrated by God's sovereign hand.  Pastor John Munro explores how the unlikely circumstances of the birth of Jesus come together in God's perfect plan. Experience afresh the wonder of Christmas!

How has this Christmas worked out for the hospitality business? Will Bain talks festive trade with a hotelier. Also, we talk about some new research into the jobs market ... AND, if you've left your Christmas shopping to the last minute, we have help at hand. A personal shopper gives us some tips on late buys.

Advent 2025 Message 3Text: Romans 1:1-7Unlike the Inn, there's room in the tomb because Jesus quickly vacated! Christ Jesus came into the world to save sinners, and He did so by shedding His precious blood. The church has a living Head, not a dead Savior. On Sunday we will celebrate our resurrected and ascended Lord, as we marvel at the baby in the manger.

The Unlikely Guests - Episode 5 : The Story of The Inn Keeper

It’s about compassionate witnessing, offering a safe “container” for their emotions, and simply being there, which builds trust and deeper connection. Key aspects of holding space: Presence: Being authentically and undistractedly present in the moment, focusing on the other person’s experience. Non-judgment: Accepting their feelings and story as valid without criticism or imposing your own views. No fixing: Resisting the urge to offer unsolicited advice or try to solve their problem, which can feel dismissive. Safe environment: Creating a sense of security where they feel safe to be vulnerable and express difficult emotions. Bearing witness: Acting as a supportive witness to their pain, joy, or uncertainty, letting them lead. How it’s different from other interactions: Not “hijacking” space: The opposite is taking over, controlling the narrative, or making it about your own anxiety or ego. Not just being nice: It’s a deeper, intentional act of support, distinct from just sharing laughs or being polite. When to use it: When someone is grieving, stressed, or in crisis. To foster deeper, more authentic relationships. In therapy, coaching, or supportive friendships. How to do it: Listen actively and ask clarifying questions like, “What are you feeling about that?”. Validate their experience with phrases like, “That sounds incredibly difficult,” or “I can see why you’d feel that way”. Sit with them in silence if needed, offering your quiet presence. Communicate your presence, e.g., “I’m here for you, no fixing needed”. _______________________________________ II – #jimswilleybooks “But the angel spoke immediately and authoritatively, saying to them, “Do not be afraid! I am here to announce good news to you…good news of a great and joyful event, and of a new reality! And this good news…this new reality…is for all people everywhere…it is for the entirety of humanity! This very night a Savior has been born in the City of David…a Savior who will perfectly embody the Christ, and will be known as the Lord! If you seek Him you will find Him…and this is what you’re to look for: a baby swaddled in a blanket, and lying in a feeding trough for animals!” As soon as the angel made this declaration, the sky above the shepherds’ heads lit up, and was filled with a seemingly infinite number of angels who formed a thunderous, mass choir, singing God’s praises, and shouting, “GLORY TO GOD IN THE HIGHEST PARTS OF THE HEAVENLY REALM…AND IN THE EARTHLY DIMENSION, PEACE…PEACE TO EVERY SINGLE PERSON ON THE EARTH…AND A REVELATION TO THEM THAT GOD’S WILL TOWARD ALL OF HUMANITY IS ONLY GOOD!”” (Luke 2:10-14 – Luke In The Now/Gospels In The Now) _____________________________ III – José y Maria by Everett Patterson

Who doesn't love a great roadie? Self-drive adventures rank highly in my pantheon of golden travel experiences and Northern Ireland's Causeway Coast touring route is a show-stopper. Bookended by Derry~Londonderry and Belfast Lough, this sublime 185km drive threads together a stirring mosaic of fishing villages, secluded beaches, wondrous rock formations, rugged coastlines, crumbling castles, storied history and mouth-watering scenery. Pointing the car northeast from Derry~Londonderry, I began tracing the nooks and crannies of Northern Ireland's theatrical coastline by stopping off at Mussenden Temple. Dramatically perched on a cliff lording over Downhill Beach, this flamboyant folly was constructed in 1785 - inspired by the Temple of Vesta, near Rome. This circular stone temple served as a library and retreat for the eccentric Earl of Bristol who was also the Bishop of Derry (Earl Bishop), along with enormous views over the Atlantic Ocean. The setting is lip-smacking, wrapped in glorious estate gardens which you can explore on the cliff-edge walk, along with the ruins of the Earl Bishop's mansion, Downhill House. Fancy a beach layover? The neighbouring seaside resort towns of Portstewart and Portrush are blessed with sprawling blonde-sand beaches, backed my muscular limestone cliffs. Portrush is the bigger, brasher resort with an abundance of souvenir shops and amusement arcades like Curry's Fun Park. There's a faded glory feel to this seaside spot, exuding a retro appeal, in a similar vein to Blackpool or Bournemouth. But it's those drop-dead-gorgeous beaches and turquoise waters that really steal the show. Liberally strung along the Causeway Coast, strategically located look-out points cater to roadtrippers eager to get snap-happy and drink in the panoramic views. Few spots command greater affection than the Dunluce Castle look-out. It's a riveting perch to dreamily gaze across the crumbling castle ruins, clinging to the cliff, high above the churning ocean on a wind-walloped basalt outcrop. This medieval stronghold of the MacDonnell clan featured regularly on Game of Thrones. The MacDonnell Clan of Antrim still technically own it, even though the castle fell into disrepair 300 years ago. You can access it via the bridge which connects it to the mainland. Like many Irish castles, Dunluce has a fine bit of legend attached to it. It's said that on a stormy night back in 1639, part of the castle's kitchen fell into the icy water below. Apparently, only the kitchen boy survived, as he managed to tuck himself away in a safe corner of the room. If set-jetting is your bag, there's a host of fantastical shooting locations for Thrones fans to scout out in Northern Ireland, around the Causeway Coast. Just inland in Ballymoney, I jaunted to The Dark Hedges. Falling victim to over-tourism, stringent traffic and parking restrictions are now in place. Go early in the morning to dodge the hordes. Nor did I see The Dark Hedges. Photo / Mike Yardley The legendary ghost, the Grey Lady, a spectral figure said to drift silently between the ancient beech trees. This iconic avenue of gnarly, intertwined beech trees was planted in the 18th century by the Stuart family to create a grand entrance to their estate, Gracehill House. It's an ethereal landscape which of course became globally famed after appearing as Kingsroad on Game of Thrones. Sadly, over a dozen of these trees have been lost in recent storms and a heritage trust has been formed to try and keep the remaining 80 trees alive, given they are reaching the end of their natural lives. Heading back to the ocean, the Causeway Coast earns its name from a primordial geological marvel that may well prove to be your road-tripping highlight. Yes, the Giant's Causeway. Forged 60 million years ago when molten lava cooled quickly in the ocean water and contracted into crystallised basalt pillars, it is a head-spinning volcanic formation. The spectacle is compelling, a procession of 40,000 basalt hexagonal blocks and columns, reaching out into the ocean, like primal pistons thrusting out of the earth. You can take your chances and hop-scotch or clamber your way across these inter-locking formations, as crashing waves thunder in. The spectacle is best enjoyed at low-tide, revealing more and more of these basalt columns. Carrick-a-Rede rope bridge. Photo / Mike Yardley I enjoyed a night in the charismatic village of Bushmills, just minutes from the Giant's Causeway. Sip on a dram from the world's oldest licensed distillery. Old Bushmills Distillery started manufacturing after a grant from King James 1 in 1608. Over 400 years later, they're still making single-malt whiskey here, using Irish barley and the unique water from their own stream too, spilling out of the River Bush which flows over basalt rock. Jamesons is the No.1 selling Irish whiskey. Like Jamesons, Bushmills is triple-distilled for smoothness, but distinctly individual in character. If you prefer gentle vanilla sweetness with subtle fruitiness, reach for Jameson. If malty richness with honey and spice appeals more, Bushmills will hit the sweet spot. Take a distillery tour to fully revel in the magic. Just around the corner, enjoy a night at the Bushmills Inn Hotel. Sharing the same pedigree as the distillery, the oldest part of the Inn, which is now home to the restaurant, was the original coach house and stables, circa 1608. Blending historic character with modern luxury, this award-winning hotel, backed by the River Burn, is an evocative place to rest and savour the legendary drama and beauty of the Causeway Coast. Space and luxury are the hallmark of the 41 guest rooms and suites, individually designed with stylish, traditional furnishings. After enjoying a dram by the cracking peat fire, tuck into some seriously good gourmet dining, steeped in local produce like treacle-cured salmon and seabass fillets with seared scallops. After a great night's sleep and a hearty full Irish breakfast, I headed back on the Causeway route, passing through picturesque Ballintoy Harbour (another Thrones filming site) to reach the remarkable Carrick-a-Rede Rope Bridge. Suspended and swaying 30 metres above the roiling Atlantic, this catch-your-breath rope bridge is cared for by the National Trust. Clinging to the cliffs off the mainland and the outcrop Carrick Island, this gnarly rope bridge was first erected by salmon fishermen over 250 years ago. Crossing the bridge is a thrilling experience with sublime views across to Rathlin Island and the Scottish Islands, along with encountering the original salmon fishery. Blow out the cobwebs and sway with the bracing wind. Fishermen first constructed a single handrail rope bridge to transport boxes of their prized salmon, caught off the island. There would be have been tens of thousands of crossings, over time. Ever since its construction in 1755, not a single report of anyone losing their from slipping off the bridge has been recorded. I didn't want to blot that copybook. As I tentatively crossed over, my guide thoughtfully informed me that the current model can withstand the weight of a double-decker bus. After reflecting on the gluttonous size of my full Irish breakfast, that was quite reassuring. I was lucky enough to get a glimpse of the historic fisherman's cottage, where they would store their nets and take shelter while awaiting their catch of migrating salmon. It's a magnificent, elemental nugget of coastal pride and seafaring heritage. Carnlough Harbour. Photo / Mike Yardley For a complete of scenery, I headed south to take in the Glens of Antrim that jut in from the coast like verdant wonderlands for outdoorsy adventures. These nine dramatic, forest-filled valleys in County Antrim, spill forth with folklore, spectacular hiking trails, bucolic splendour and truly charming villages like Glenariff. If you're after a scenic medley of deep valleys, rolling hills, lush forests and thundering waterfalls, you'll be in seventh heaven. Don't rush the Glens, they're best savoured at an easy, meditative and relaxed pace. For one final night of Causeway magic, before driving back to Belfast and onto Dublin, I luxuriated in the picturesque seaside village of Carnlough. Located at the foothills of Glencoy – one of the nine Glens of Antrim, edged by the shores of Carnlough Bay, this sheltered and compact harbour is the focal point of Carnlough village. Carnlough Harbour is another Thrones location to add to you tick-list. Fans will recognise the stony staircase leading down to the sea, filmed as part of the Free City of Braavos Canal. With its storybook good looks, this sweetheart stone harbour was first constructed in 1854 by the Marchioness of Londonderry (Winston Churchill's great grandmother), to help develop the limestone export trade. It's also home to the Harbourview Hotel. Formerly known as the Londonderry Arms, this gorgeous main street institution, beckoning like a country house hotel, has been refreshed into Ireland's first destination whiskey hotel. The Harbourview's focus is on Irish spirits, rare tastings, and events, blending its rich 1848 history with modern coastal luxury on the scenic Causeway Coast. I delved into the hotel's Whiskey Chamber, brimming with over 200 Irish whiskeys, where sublime tastings, distillery dinners, and whiskey-themed events take place, led by co-owner and master distiller Darryl McNally. Darryl and his fellow hotel owners also own Outwalker and Limavady Whiskey. Great drops! Old Bushmills Distillery. Photo / Mike Yardley Retaining stunning features including open fires and original terrazzo flooring, the new hotel features a newly refurbished bar, lounge and restaurant, offering the perfect blend of timeless charm and modern Irish hospitality. Each of the 35 elegantly appointed bedrooms have been completely redecorated and revamped, blending contemporary luxury with timeless style, and where the emphasis centred squarely on comfort. Hearty hospitality and a homely atmosphere is just the start of the Harbourview's seduction. A fitting place to raise a celebratory glass to the conveyer belt of treasures, underpinning the siren-like pull of the Causeway Coast. Fill your heart with Ireland in the enchanting Emerald Isle.

Free Advent Guide: Are you looking to deepen your prayer life this season? Download our free guide to Carmelite spirituality to help you navigate Advent with purpose: https://midnightcarmelite.com/reset Do you feel pressure to create the perfect "Hallmark Christmas," only to be met with stress, difficult relatives, and a feeling of emptiness? We often think that a perfect holiday means abundance, comfort, and peace. However, Bishop Sheen famously remarked that the saddest moment in history was when there was "no room at the inn." In this episode of Midnight Carmelite, we explore the profound theology behind the Manger and the Inn. While the Inn represents a world full of itself with no room for God, the Manger represents the poverty, lack, and discomfort where Christ actually chooses to be born. We discuss how you can transform family tension, awkward conversations, and holiday chores into an offering of "straw" for the baby Jesus, turning your struggles into a path for deep spiritual growth. In this episode, you will learn: The Spiritual Value of Discomfort: Why Christ chose the cold, smelly manger over the comfort of the inn, and what that means for your holiday struggles.How to Navigate Family Conflict: Practical advice on practicing spiritual poverty when dealing with difficult situations or hurtful comments.From Possession to Freedom: Understanding St. John of the Cross's teaching that to possess God, we must desire to possess nothing—including our own will.

Eftirspurn eftir kókaíni á Íslandi virðist óþrjótandi og efnið berst til landsins úr öllum áttum. Áhersla Bandaríkjastjórnar á fentanyl-faraldurinn er talin ein helsta ástæða þess að kókaínsmygl þrífst betur en áður. Lögregla og tollgæsla hafa haldlagt á annað hundrað kílóa af kókaíni það sem af er þessu ári. Freyr Gígja Gunnarsson fjallar um málið. Neyðarlistinn - The Emergency Watchlist - er skýrsla sem alþjóðlegu hjálparsamtökin International Rescue Committee, IRC, gefur út árlega, um þau tuttugu lönd þar sem neyð almennings er stærst og þykir líklegust til að aukast mest á ári komanda. Súdan, Palestína og Suður-Súdan eru efst á á listanum í ár, í þessari röð, þriðja árið í röð. Upplausn í alþjóðastjórnmálum leiðir til aukinnar neyðar - en minni framlaga til neyðaraðstoðar.

It's our second Christmas episode, and this week we're talking all about the Magi, Mary & Joseph, unexpected guests, and what real hospitality looks like when you're a mom with a busy house and a messy life. Spoiler: it's not candles, curated charcuterie, or having your pillows karate-chopped just right. What You'll Hear in This Episode: The part of the Christmas story we hardly ever talk about What actually might've happened when a whole camel caravan showed up in tiny Bethlehem Why biblical hospitality feels totally different from “Pinterest hospitality” Small, everyday ways to “make room” for others (even in the grocery store aisle!) Why your kids aren't a barrier to hosting — they can be your little hospitality team The freedom to set healthy boundaries during the holidays A reminder that you, mama, have God-given agency to protect your family The blessing that comes when we choose generosity and welcome Our Favorite Nuggets: Be a “There you are!” person, not a “Here I am…” one Imperfection is actually a gift — nobody needs your fake perfect Hospitality isn't about a spotless house… it's about a spacious heart Sometimes the most spiritual thing you can do is let someone merge in traffic And yes, even Mary didn't have a Ring doorbell or a clean house ready Christmas Challenge: Decide now that your value this season is hospitality over hurry and people over perfection. Jesus always makes room for us — and we get to do the same for others. Merry Christmas, mamas. You are one of our favorite gifts.

This Christmas message speaks to the tension we all feel—being so busy with life that we miss what matters most. Centered on Luke 2 and the birth of Jesus, the sermon challenges listeners to ask an honest question: Are we truly present this season, or just physically nearby while God is doing something significant? Through the familiar Christmas story, we see how ordinary busyness caused even those closest to Jesus to miss the miracle unfolding right in front of them.This message invites us to slow down and make room for God in practical ways—our schedules, our spending, and our conversations. More than a reminder to be less distracted, this sermon is an invitation to step fully into the Christmas story, not just observe it. For anyone who feels like something is missing this season, it points to Jesus as the true gift and offers a simple, meaningful step toward a life-changing relationship with Him.

Step into the common rooms of Randland and pull up a chair—because in this episode, we're taking the innkeepers' point of view. What do the hardworking, gossip-gathering, coin-counting masters and mistresses of the inns really think when a group of ta'veren strolls in and turns their peaceful evening upside down? From Marin al'Vere's quiet competence to Innkeepers in Cairhien silently calculating the rising cost of structural repairs, we explore how these unsung heroes of the Wheel handle chaos, destiny, and the occasional Trolloc attack… all while making sure the stew doesn't burn.

In times of uncertainty, when we need to get unstuck or figure out our next steps, whether personally or professionally, we can all benefit from more clarity. The great news is that we all have access to an inner compass trying to guide us to what's in our best interest—and that is our intuition. In today's enlightening conversation with Hrund Gunnsteinsdóttir, she teaches us about the framework she's created from the icelandic word for intuition, InnSaei. She's the author of a book and documentary by the same name and shares simple but impactful practices we can use today, based on her two plus decades of work in this area.

Our story tonight is called Fogged Glasses and Felting Fibers, and it's a story about an evening spent working on a project among friends. It's also about a tote bag full of spools of colored thread, the moon reflected in a car window, a saved seat, a black and white movie, the quiet companionable sound of knitting needles clicking and a gentle nudge to direct more attention to the things that make you grateful and content.

This sermon, No Room at the Inn, picks up right after our annual children's production, Bedtime Stories. In this message Pastor Adam brings us face to face with the miracle of Jesus entering a world that had no place for Him. Based on Luke 4, this message reveals that Christ did not arrive through ease or comfort, but through resistance and purpose. Heaven came down when Jesus stepped into our world to bring light into darkness. Though there was no room at the inn, Jesus still made His way in. This sermon reminds us that what looks like resistance may actually be God's greatest invitation.

The Brickhouse Inn in Gettysburg may look like a charming pair of historic homes—but beneath the quiet exterior lies unrest. In this episode, we talk with manager Hannah Hilty about the property's two very different structures: the 1830s Welty House, which witnessed the full force of the Battle of Gettysburg, and the Victorian home built decades later on the same property. The Welty House is still carrying the marks of musket fire on its walls. Families hid in its cellar as soldiers fought just outside, and the land behind it became a temporary resting place for more than 30 Confederate soldiers. Those layers of trauma and emotion seem to echo through the space even now. Inside both homes, unexplained activity continues to surface—bells that ring with no one near them, EVPs responding to questions, phantom footsteps, shifting furniture, and the unmistakable presence of figures tied to the property's past. Some spirits feel young, some sorrowful, and others seem to maintain a watchful authority over the place they once called home. At The Brickhouse Inn, it seems history isn't just remembered—it's more like it refuses to leave. This is Part Two of our conversation.

This week, Sabrina is on location at the legendary Guy Fawkes Inn in York, one of England's most haunted cities and the birthplace of the notorious rebel himself. Surrounded by crooked medieval architecture and history practically breathing down her neck, she dives into Guy Fawkes' explosive life and tragic end while sitting just steps away from where it all began. But the real chills come from the inn's paranormal residents. In the infamous Belfry Suite, guests report children running through empty rooms and waking up violently ill at 3 a.m., while staff casually recount having their hair yanked by unseen hands. Sabrina gathers firsthand stories of paranormal activity that has kept this place legendary for centuries. Plus, we've got a listener story from “Dr. Ghost,” who has a PhD in ghost beliefs.
