The holidays can feel overwhelming—shopping, decorating, cooking, and trying to create picture-perfect moments. Yet Scripture reminds us that amid the chaos, the true gift of Christmas is Christ Himself. Just as Mary gave birth in a humble stable without the comforts she expected, we too are called to make room for Jesus in the midst of our busy, stressful seasons (Luke 2:7). By simplifying, prioritizing, and focusing on His presence, we discover that the peace and joy of Christmas don’t come from perfection—they come from Him. Highlights Holiday stress often overshadows the true purpose of Christmas: celebrating Jesus’ birth. Mary’s humble circumstances remind us that God’s plans don’t rely on comfort or convenience. Simplifying holiday tasks—limiting gifts, delegating meals, reducing activities—can create space for Christ. Focusing on Jesus transforms ordinary moments into meaningful celebrations. Gratitude for God’s provision, even amid financial or personal challenges, brings peace. Small adjustments in expectations allow families to experience joy without unnecessary stress. Making intentional space for Christ is the ultimate gift we can give ourselves and others. Gift Inspiration: Crosswalk's Holiday Gift Guide Looking for a meaningful way to celebrate the season? Check out our Holiday Gift Guide—from beautifully illustrated Bibles and devotionals to novels, greeting cards, and picture books, there’s something for everyone on your list. Wrap up stories for loved ones, tuck a book into your own nightstand, and join us in celebrating the wonder of giving this Christmas! Full Transcript Below: Preparing Him Room: Making Space for Christ This ChristmasBy: Michelle Lazurek Bible Reading:“…and she gave birth to her firstborn, a son. She wrapped him in cloths and placed him in a manger, because there was no guest room available for them.” - Luke 2:7 It was all too much to bear. When my kids were little, they talked about what they wanted for Christmas for months. They made their list for Santa, wrote him letters, and even dropped it in the mailbox. As a mother, I would do anything to give them the perfect Christmas. I made sure they got everything they asked for, even if it meant starting early and taking money out of our paycheck each week to save for Christmas presents. But one year, my husband was planting a church, and finances were just too tight. I did my best to get the kids the presents that they wanted. But with all the wrapping, shopping, and a full-time job, while my husband was church planting, it added more stress to my life than I cared to admit. Although it was a magical moment to watch my kids open gifts on Christmas morning, the stress and irritation of all the preparation beforehand made it feel as if it simply wasn't worth it. I was putting all this stress on myself to write Christmas cards, decorate the house, and care for my children, in addition to working at a daycare where I cared for two- and three-year-olds all day long, only to come home to my own set of two- and three-year-olds. This would be enough to make anyone feel the extra weight of stress. Compelled by the idea of giving my kids the perfect Christmas, I stressed myself out, worrying about finances and spending all my extra time wrapping presents and writing cards. When Christmas Day came, I had created a holiday that would have made even Norman Rockwell jealous. But it was missing one thing: Jesus. Although my family and I attended Christmas Eve services, my kids lit candles, sang songs, and watched Christmas specials, it felt as if Jesus was missing from the holiday. Because it was so focused on the moment of opening gifts and getting my family what they wanted for Christmas, it felt as if I had wasted all my time and energy creating a magical moment that would only last a moment. Because of all the stress, I had laid aside my quiet time with the Lord, neglected to pray, and hadn't picked up my Bible in months. For a holiday that should be focused on the actual reason for this season, I had forgotten to make space for Christ. Maybe you can relate to the story above. All the Christmas wrapping, giving, and writing Christmas cards may seem too much to bear during the holiday season for you as well. Maybe buying gifts, long lines at the store, mounting traffic, and increasingly mean people seem like too much stress for you to bear, too. But it doesn't have to be this way. Mary experienced a similar situation. As she made the long travel, heavy in the throes of labor, I imagine she expected a comfortable room with which to give birth. But when she found out that there was no room at the inn, her expectations quickly shattered. But Mary didn't give in to the stress or leave God out of her situation. Instead, she made the best of what she had. She traveled to a nearby stable and, in less-than-ideal conditions, gave birth to our Savior, who, in turn, has given generations eternal life. Although Mary's situation was less than ideal, she still completed her ultimate purpose. The Christmas story can give us hope that, despite what we might be going through —financial struggles, health crises, loss of loved ones, etc.—we can find hope. While our situation for the holidays seems less than spectacular, we can make do with what God has given us. There's no better time than the Christmas season to give thanks for all that God has done. Minimize Christmas shopping this year. Opt to give gift cards rather than wrapping a bunch of presents. Limit the number of gifts you give to each person. Explain to them that finances are too tight this year, and the stress is just too much. Your stressful situation can quickly become less so with a bit of understanding and compassion from your family members. Ask family members to pitch in this year by giving food for the holiday meal, or skip hosting the traditional holiday meal and go out for dinner instead. Whatever you need to do to make the best of your holiday situation, take Mary's example and don't forget the ultimate purpose of why we celebrate Christmas. Father, let us be people who make space for you during the holiday season. Let us not crowd you out with copious amounts of gifts, wrapping, and decorating. Instead, let us remember the ultimate gift you have given us and live our lives knowing that we have already received the best gift of all. Amen.

“A lot of things become possible when [the nation state] is not the only framework,” Melissa Byrnes reminds us in this deeply intimate local history of North African migrants in France. In this conversation about her new book, Making Space: Neighbors, Officials, and North African Migrants in the Suburbs of Paris and Lyon (U Nebraska Press, 2024) we learn about how questions Byrnes had about how we live with difference in our own communities brought her to this research on the suburbs of French cities in the dwindling decades of French imperialism. Focusing on four French suburbs from the 1950s to the 1970s, Byrnes examines how local officials – from mayors and city councilors to religious leaders to those operating public housing units – talked about North African migrants and the problems and opportunities of migration. In tracing the motivations of these French officials and local leaders, Byrnes examines what she calls “locally lived migration policies” to see how communities tried to make space for their neighbors against the backdrop of a national housing crisis, divergent political ideologies, and decolonization. Melissa K. Byrnes is professor of modern European and world history at Southwestern University in Georgetown, Texas. Her research focuses on migration and activism in the context of French imperialism and decolonization and she previously coedited a volume on the colonial politics of population. Her new book, Making Space: Neighbors, Officials, and North African Migrants in the Suburbs of Paris and Lyon, is available now from Nebraska University Press, 2023. Learn more about your ad choices.

Wastewater treatment is an overlooked lifesaver. While the medical advances of the last 100 years—penicillin, chemotherapy, and, more recently, mRNA vaccines—have transformed healthcare, keeping our water supplies free from pathogens like cholera and dysentery, has saved many more lives. The systems developed to treat wastewater are so successful that we can afford to flush and forget. But this is infrastructure we must not overlook. Growing populations, increased use by industry, and regulations that get tighter as we learn of new threats to human life and the environment, are putting wastewater treatment facilities under strain. Existing plants are often tucked away on constrained sites, and work as part of a sprawling network of sewage systems that make it extremely difficult for them to be relocated. This is very much the case at Ringsend in Dublin. Here, on a site bounded by other facilities and the sea, the waste produced by millions of Dubliners—and the city's industry and commerce—must be processed before being discharged into the Liffey Estuary. To update the plant, its owners had considered building a 9km pipe to discharge waste outside of the sensitive areas of the estuary. But a new solution was identified. By implementing a novel form of biological treatment, developed by Haskoning, Egis was able to ensure that the effluent discharged was so clean, it would be safe for wildlife. But installing this would take careful planning and scheduling, in order to complete the work in tight constraints, without any pause in plant operations. Guests Marisa Buyers-Basso, associate director, Haskoning Marcus Fagan, chartered engineer, Egis Partner Egis is a leading global architectural, consulting, engineering, operations and mobility services firm with 22,000 employees across more than 100 countries. The company designs and operates intelligent infrastructure and buildings that both respond to climate emergencies and contribute to balanced, sustainable and resilient development.  Egis has operated in Ireland since 1994 and is the largest multi-disciplinary consultancy, engineering and operations firm in the country. Its current activities in Ireland include operating the Dublin Tunnel and the Jack Lynch Tunnel in Cork, overseeing 1,200km of Ireland's motorways. It is also active in the design and delivery of major transportation programmes, renewable energy and water and waste water projects. With over 600 staff in Ireland across 16 offices and sites nationwide, it is committed to enabling sustainable economic development and responding to the requirements of population growth while addressing climate change and reducing carbon emissions.

Life has a way of throwing unexpected storms our way, and following Jesus doesn't exempt us from these difficulties. In fact, Jesus promised that in this world we will have trials and sorrows. The account of Jesus calming the storm on the Sea of Galilee in Mark 4 provides profound insight into how we should respond when life's storms rage around us. While experienced fishermen disciples panicked, convinced they would drown, Jesus slept peacefully in the boat - not from indifference, but from complete control over the situation. When awakened, He rebuked the wind and commanded the waves to be still, immediately bringing perfect calm. Surprisingly, the disciples became even more afraid after witnessing this miracle, realizing they were in the presence of someone with divine authority over creation itself. When storms hit our lives, we need two unshakeable anchors: Jesus has limitless power as the sovereign God who controls all circumstances, and Jesus has limitless love demonstrated most clearly through His willing sacrifice on the cross. Making space for God in our storms means choosing trust over fear, praying honestly, remembering His faithfulness, staying grounded in His Word, and seeking community. God allows storms to strengthen our faith, humble our pride, conform us to Christ's image, and display His power to others.

Tune in as Jennifer dives deeper into the transformational shift from the self-authoring mind to the self-transforming mind—and why this passage is so challenging, even when we feel ready for it. Building on last week's archetypes, she explores the emotional and practical realities of releasing an identity that once saved us, navigating the disorienting "hallway" between who we were and who we're becoming, and metabolizing the grief, ambiguity, and loss of clarity that accompany real adult development. Jennifer offers grounded practices for creating inner spaciousness, building aligned community, translating emerging wisdom into a world that still rewards productivity, and experimenting with new expressions of work and identity.

"Making Space For God" - Daniel Self - 11/16/2025 by Orchard Audio Ministry

Recorded Live at Brookwood Church on 11/16/2025

This is a podcast of a guest sermon, given by invitation to the Unitarian Universalist Community of the Catskills. A guest sermon invited by the Unitarian Universalist Community of the Catskills, Aug 9, 2015. In it, I discuss Rainer Maria Rilke's conception of "solitude" (Einsamkeit), and its relevance to our contemporary lives. Explaining how the two dimensions of slowing down temporally and making space spatially figure into the development of solitude as Rilke describes it, I suggest that in our own era, time has become the more scarce resource.

257 - There comes a point in every growth season where you realize not everything can come with you. Whether it's a commitment, a project, a friendship, or even a mindset, you start to feel the pull to let go of what's draining your energy so you can redirect it toward what really matters. That's the essence of the pruning season. In this episode, we're talking about what it means to be in a pruning season and why it's actually a sign of growth, not failure. You'll learn how to identify what's no longer aligned, release what's stealing your energy, and create the boundaries that make room for your next level. It's not always pretty. Pruning can be uncomfortable, uncertain, and even painful at times, but it's how you make space for the fruit you actually want to grow. If you're a high achieving woman or mom juggling a lot, this one's for you. It's a permission slip to stop pouring energy into what's not working and start intentionally cultivating what will. In this episode, you'll learn: • How to recognize when you're in a pruning season (and not mistake it for a setback) • The difference between quitting and pruning • How to create boundaries that protect your peace and energy • A mindset shift to help you release what's no longer aligned without guilt • Real stories from my own pruning season that might just mirror yours Let's Connect Email: angmbarnard@gmail.com IG: @angbarnard Like the show?

SHOW NOTES: Happy Halloween weekend! Once spooky season is officially behind us, it's time to turn things over and get ready for the real holiday hustle. We are sharing easy ways to prep your kitchen and dining areas for all the extra cooking, baking, entertaining, and guests you'll have. Plus, we're tackling exterior maintenance tips before the deep freeze sets in. Stay tuned to hear all this and more! - Holiday Kitchen Prep: We offer easy tips to prep your kitchen for the holidays, emphasizing deep cleaning the oven well in advance of a major feast and clearing out expired items from the fridge and freezer to make space for groceries and leftovers. - Refresh Your Dining Room: We provide quick and affordable ways to refresh your dining room, focusing on simple centerpieces and cozy lighting upgrades. - Making Space for Guests: If you're hosting holiday guests but don't have a spare room, find out how to create a warm overnight space using visual separation, high-quality air mattresses, and thoughtful bedside basics. - Winterizing Pipes: To prevent costly water damage from burst pipes, we discuss important winterizing tips for your outdoor space.   Q & A: - Mike from Little Rock, AR, is listing his house for sale after three years of piecemeal remodeling and wants to know the best way to advertise the improvements. He should create an inventory list of all that was done, including dates for things like energy-saving updates, as this detail is very appealing to buyers. - Marty in Cape May, NJ, has a tankless water heater and is frustrated that it takes almost five minutes for hot water to reach her kitchen sink. We explain that the issue is the physical distance the water must travel through the pipes, not the type of water heater. - Mark in Ohio is attempting a budget kitchen remodel and is considering IKEA cabinets, but is concerned about their durability. We confirm that our experience with IKEA kitchen cabinets suggests they are good quality, very well priced, and are notably easy to install. - Mike in Florida recently moved and had an AC technician recommend installing a UV light. We suggest that the technician was likely trying to upsell and give Mike some other useful tips besides relying on an expensive UV light. - Larry in Connecticut needs to replace two aging water heaters in his attic and asked whether a recirculating pump or a tankless heater is the better solution. We caution against adding a recirculating pump to the old units and note that while a tankless heater is small and efficient, Larry should consider whether one small unit could meet all his hot water needs.   ASK A QUESTION: Need help with your own home improvement or décor question?

Maintaining consistency across a sprawling codebase is one of the hardest challenges in software engineering. Denis Rechkunov, a Principal Software Engineer at Elastic, joins Robby to share how his team turned consistency into a cultural practice rather than a technical checklist. From managing open source projects with hundreds of contributors to experimenting safely with new patterns, Denis believes maintainability begins with shared ownership, not just clean code.He explains how Elastic introduced automation and linters to improve cohesion without discouraging creativity. Instead of enforcing perfection across the entire system, Denis' team scopes their changes to manageable areas and rewards steady progress over sweeping rewrites. Their annual “On Week” tradition gives engineers space to fix what frustrates them most, showing how small, focused bursts of work can produce big leaps in stability and morale.The conversation also explores the human side of maintainability. Denis recalls early lessons about unclear expectations, the importance of documenting decisions in public pull requests, and how open feedback loops build trust across remote teams. Whether it's stabilizing a flaky CI pipeline or mentoring new engineers, Denis argues that technical excellence thrives when consistency becomes a habit shared by everyone.Episode Highlights[00:01:02] Defining Well-Maintained SoftwareDenis identifies consistency, documentation, testability, and agility as the key ingredients of maintainable systems.[00:02:22] Balancing Standards and AutonomyHow automation and linters help preserve code cohesion while minimizing interpersonal friction.[00:04:08] Experimenting SafelyElastic scopes new patterns to low-risk modules before broader adoption, avoiding mass rewrites.[00:07:19] Incremental CleanupLinters only apply to changed files, helping the team fix issues gradually without overwhelming contributors.[00:08:02] Maintainability as a People ProblemDenis highlights that sustainable systems depend more on culture and mentorship than on architecture.[00:10:13] Lessons from MiscommunicationAn early experience showed the cost of undocumented conventions and unclear onboarding.[00:17:09] Making Space for Technical DebtElastic's engineers dedicate part of each sprint and an annual “On Week” to tackle maintenance work.[00:23:05] Restoring CI ReliabilityDenis shares how the team revived a pipeline with only a 10% success rate by categorizing failures and focusing on data.[00:32:00] Practicing Software ArchaeologyHe stresses the value of documenting discussions in pull requests to avoid historical guesswork later.[00:36:09] Feedback and TrustOpen communication, humility, and mutual feedback loops form the backbone of a maintainable culture.[00:51:00] Embracing Chaos in Open SourceDenis encourages teams to accept a degree of entropy and focus their efforts on user-facing stability.[01:00:00] Security and PrivacyWhy maintainability, trust, and privacy are inseparable pillars of long-term sustainability.[01:01:06] Where to StartInstead of rewriting code, start by cultivating maintainability as a shared value across the team.Resources MentionedElasticgolangci-lintAppSignalThe Caves of Steel by Isaac Asimov — Denis' recommendation inspired Robby to finally pick up a copy and start reading it himself.Denis's Blog – rdner.deDenis on GitHubDenis on MastodonDenis on LinkedInThanks to Our Sponsor!Turn hours of debugging into just minutes!
