Away in a Manger isn't just a sweet song. It's a radical message of hope. In today's episode, John explores why Jesus was born in a manger, what that says about who He came for, and how Christmas answers the question we all carry: what will become of us? This episode is tender, thoughtful, and quietly powerful. A reminder that Jesus meets us where we are and heals what's broken.

In this episode of The Observatory, Scott and LaRae share practical guidance for breaking through limiting beliefs and stepping into a freer, more authentic self, so growth comes from within rather than from chasing external validation. They explore how healing beliefs shape creativity, voice, and everyday actions, and offer actionable steps to rename, reframe, and release mental barriers. Through personal stories and heartfelt insights, they explain how belief-work can unlock greater compassion, connection, and impact in life and work. Timestamps[01:52] The episode on healing from limiting beliefs[03:46] Scott on using his voice in many ways[09:00] How the song ‘A Way in a Manger' came to form[11:55] How Scott feels after completing the song he promised[13:29] Scott's advice to people with limiting beliefs[20:15] The idea of renaming the song from ‘A Way in a Manger' to ‘Right Here in a Manger' [23:54] Scott and LaRae wish you happy holidays[24:06] Scott playing the song ‘Right Here in a Manger'Notable quotes:“Anytime you are helping yourself to be more free, open, loving, caring, and compassionate, you're permitting other people to do the same, and that's what makes the world a better place.” - Scott Wright [14:06]“The key is to recognize where it is that you have some limiting belief about yourself that is keeping you from doing something so beneficial to yourself.” - Scott Wright [13:39]“Each of us is connected to everything.” - Scott Wright [21:58]Relevant links:Subscribe to the podcast: Apple Podcast

Episode 277 - Meekness: The Manger and the Storm Have you ever felt frustrated when Jesus seems quiet while everything around you is falling apart? In this episode, the friars continue reflecting on "Blessed are the meek," turning to two striking images: Jesus asleep in the manger and Jesus asleep in the boat during the storm. Both reveal a confidence rooted not in control, but in trust. Trust in the Father, trust in victory, even when chaos is loud and fear feels close. They talk honestly about the frustration we feel when Jesus seems distant or inactive while we're struggling. And they invite us to see that His silence isn't absence, it's the patience of love at work. Join us as we learn to trust Jesus in the storm and discover the peace that comes from knowing He is already with us.

On this episode of the National Crawford Roundtable podcast the guys discuss the true meaning of Christmas.

To the shepherds He was a savior; to Herod He was a threat. If we take advantage of this yearly opportunity to peer into the Manger, we may see a Friend or a Foe bundled there in the swaddling clothes. It's imperative that we know His true identity, and His mission. Here's Pastor Jim with Part 2 of, The Reason for the Season.

Merry Christmas Eve, friend. Today on Pursuing God, we're tracing the journey of Jesus from the manger to the Jordan River — and what it means for your life right now. He wasn't just born to be admired in a nativity scene; He came to be followed. Born in a manger, buried in baptism, and raised to bring new life to anyone willing to say yes. As we light the final Advent candle and reflect on His birth, I want to invite you to consider the personal invitation Jesus offers: to be made new. And for some of you, that next step might be baptism. Let's talk about what it means to go all in — to identify with the One who identified with us.Pursuing God with Gene Appel is designed to help you pursue God, build community, and unleash compassion. Grounded in Scripture and shaped by Eastside's conviction that God's grace is for everyone, each episode invites you to discover God's presence and activity in your life.

Send us a textFreedom doesn't survive on paperwork alone; it lives or dies on the character of a people. We open Galatians 5:1 and read Joe Wolverton's stirring essay “The Manger and the Republic,” tracing a vivid line from Bethlehem to Philadelphia and asking what happens when a nation keeps the legal forms of liberty while losing the moral foundations that make liberty possible. Across history's ledger—from Rome's bread and circuses to modern screens and slogans—we examine how self‑government withers when virtue erodes and why every expansion of vice invites an expansion of state control.Together we revisit what the founders understood: rights endure because they are gifts, not grants. Tocqueville's insight on religion as the first political institution comes alive as we connect conscience to limited government, gratitude to social peace, and humility to the courage that resists tyranny. Christmas becomes more than sentiment; it is a strategy. The manger proclaims that rulers are ruled, that human dignity is not measured by compliance, and that no jail can bind a soul anchored in Christ. From carols that once rattled despots to nativity scenes that remind courthouses who truly reigns, we explore how worship shapes culture and, in turn, shapes law.We close with a practical roadmap: begin renewal at home. Let families be the first government, marriages the first covenant, and living rooms the first sanctuaries of truth and beauty. Choose prayer over propaganda, gratitude over grievance, and courage over comfort. If freedom is to endure, it will be because households, churches, and schools teach hearts to govern themselves.

Love doesn't win championships, build corporate empires, or conquer armies – strength, strategy, fear and influence seem far more powerful. But what if love was actually greater than them all? What if love wasn't just a virtue, but a person born in a manger? This Christmas, we remember the day Love came to not just to change your life, but to transform our world. Passage: 1 John 4:9-11 Speaker: Bob Kadlecik

Jesus is worthy of being placed in a better place than a manger - in your heart.

Send us a textThe quiet of Christmas Eve can still a crowded mind—and that's where this conversation begins. We share how a simple walk through the woods, where once-familiar paths have shifted, became a living parable for the soul's journey: seasons reshape the landscape, and yet the deeper ground holds. From the manger's humility to the strength of a grown teacher overturning tables, we trace a pattern of transformation that speaks to personal change, parenting, and the courage to protect what is sacred.We talk frankly about children as carriers of light and what it means to guard their divinity in a noisy world. That work starts at home with small, potent rituals: three minutes of silence before gifts, a short reading that anchors love, a conversation that treats questions with respect. Drawing on scriptures about being made in the image of God, we reframe identity as a gift to uncover rather than a status to earn. Doubts about religion don't disqualify you from the sacred; truth still finds you through conscience, community, and the steady voice of nature.This is an invitation to remember the joy you knew as a child and to choose presence over performance. Whether your holiday is bustling or quiet, full or tender around the edges, you can make room for peace and let heaven and nature sing in the space you open. Listen to recenter, to protect the light in your family, and to rekindle the spark within. If this speaks to you, subscribe, share it with a friend who needs hope, and leave a review to help others find their way back to wonder.Support the show

Christmas is the story of Love stepping toward us — yet for many of us, love is still the place where our deepest questions live. Why is it hard to give? Why is it even harder to receive?

It's personal, present … and it's meant for you.You'll learn:Why Scripture says our natural hearts resist God — and how Advent reveals Jesus' plan to transform them.What God's steadfast love looks like throughout the Bible and why we often struggle to receive it.How the Holy Spirit enables us to love God and others in ways we cannot on our own.A simple prayer and practical steps for beginning or renewing a relationship with Jesus this Christmas.Resources From This Episode:Join us for Advent in the First 5 app!Download the free app, and spend five minutes each day studying God's Word with women around the world.Go deeper with our brand-new Advent study guide, More Than a Manger.Experience the Christmas story with fresh eyes through rich biblical teaching and meaningful daily reflections.Help more women access biblical Truth this season.Your generosity fuels everything we do — from free podcasts to devotions to study resources.[Give to Proverbs 31 Ministries today.]Click here to download a transcript of this episodeWant More on This Topic? Listen to “The Secret to Really Loving Your Neighbor” with Jada Edwards on The Proverbs 31 Ministries Podcast.

It was Christmas Eve, and the Hutchcraft family was acting out the Christmas story. Our daughter was Mary, with a towel draped over her head. Our oldest son was Joseph, bathrobe and all. Our then two-year-old son was the closest we could come to a baby, so he was in the giant laundry basket. I was, of course, an angel dressed in a white sheet, sitting celestially on the back of the couch. And my wife - well, she wanted to be a sheep. So she was crawling around the living room floor with our sheepskin rug draped over her, doing her very best "baaa's." And the doorbell rang! It was two teenage girls from our youth group. Their folks were home getting drunk, and they were wondering if they could come to our house for a little sanity. When they came in, our Christmas players were in full gear, "baaa" and all. The door was open and we invited them right into our Christmas. I'm Ron Hutchcraft and I want to have A Word With You today about "The Open Door at the Manger." It was only appropriate that we should say to anyone who came to our door on Christmas Eve, "Come on in." After all, that's what God did when His Son was born that first Christmas. He threw open the door and said, "Come on in" no matter what you're like. He might be saying that to you this very day. Anybody's welcome to come on in and join God's family. How do we know? Well, for one thing, look at who got the first invitation to "come on in." Shepherds. These guys were considered the lowest of the low-lifes. They were unfit to even be allowed in God's temple. So of all the people God could invite to the first Christmas party, who does He ask to come? Shepherds. It says so in Luke 2, beginning with verse 8, in our Christmas word for today from the Word of God. "There were shepherds living out in the fields nearby, keeping watch over their flocks at night. An angel of the Lord appeared to them, and the glory of the Lord shone around them..." The angel made this startling announcement: "Today in the town of David a Savior has been born to you; he is Christ the Lord." So Jesus begins His life on earth by welcoming in people that most would say are definitely "not His type." Maybe that's how you feel; you're not the religious type. Maybe you, like the shepherds, have experienced your share of closed doors, rejection, condemnation, and plenty of loneliness. It could be you've done a lot of things, and made a lot of mistakes, just looking for love and acceptance. And you know you've done a lot of wrong things. But that's the very kind of people Jesus came for! The people who miss Jesus and miss heaven are the people who think they've got it all together, who are very religious and very good and they think not really in need of a Savior who died on the cross for their sins. But just like He did for those shepherds, whether you were born in church or never been in church in your life, Jesus is throwing open the door to His family and to His heaven and He's saying, "Come on in. I died. I rose again so you and I can be together forever." The greatest mistake you could ever make would be if you missed what Jesus died to give you. Can you think of a better time to throw open the door of your life to Jesus than Christmastime - the time He left heaven to come here to rescue you? He's waiting for you to reach out to Him and put your total trust in what He did for you on the cross - whatever you've done. This isn't about what you've done. It's about what He's done on the cross for you. Right where you are, at this very special time, why don't you tell Him, "Jesus, I'm Yours from this day on." Your life will never be the same. I would love to help you right now make that new beginning of making the Savior your Savior this Christmas season. I just invite you to go to our website and there you can find for yourself how to be sure you've begun this relationship with Jesus. The website is ANewStory.com. And as we celebrate the day Jesus was born, you can celebrate the day you get born into His family. Go to sleep tonight with Christ in your heart with His peace in your soul. From Him, and from our team here - Merry Christmas!

Advent Week 3

So often, Christmas is a time of familiarity, tradition. Yet, in that familiar, we can often forget to look deeper into the heart of the Reason for the season. The message the angels delivered on that night to those shepherds isn't just some feel-good tale from the past but a story with an announcement that changed everything. In this special Christmas episode, we uncover the deeper truths of the angel's declaration and what it means for us today.

From the manger in Bethlehem, the infant Jesus has much to teach us. In this meditation we use texts of Scripture to consider seven of his lessons, which are all important for our spiritual life:

Manger de la bûche à Noël est une tradition. Celle-ci remonte à la fin du XIXe siècle où des pâtissiers ont eu l'ingénieuse idée de faire un gâteau roulé qui ressemble à une bûche. Un choix qui n'a rien anodin, car cette tradition de la bûche remonte à l'époque des Celtes.

Week 4 Day 6 Joy is our Strength

Weel 4 Day 5 Joy in the Suffering

Christmas often feels like a finish line. The gifts are opened, the music fades, and life moves on. But what if Christmas was never meant to be the ending?In this episode of Together 4 Good, I reflect on the deep meaning of the incarnation — the bold claim that God didn't stay distant, but became human in Jesus. Christmas isn't just about a baby in a manger. It's about God entering real, messy, ordinary human life — and continuing to show up long after Christmas Eve.We explore why the incarnation matters so much for faith, especially in seasons of grief, doubt, or feeling like God is absent. From the overlooked details of Luke's Christmas story to the way the early church understood itself as the Body of Christ, this conversation invites us to see how God's presence continues through ordinary people showing up for one another.Christmas doesn't end. It expands. God keeps showing up — often through compassion, community, and small acts of grace.In this episode, we talk about:• Why the manger wasn't the end — it was the beginning• What the incarnation really means for everyday faith• How God shows up in messy, overlooked places• Why the church is called the Body of Christ• How God's presence continues through ordinary people• What it means to “make Christmas last all year”If you've ever wondered where God is in the middle of real life — this episode is for you.Scripture referenced: Luke 2:1–20 John 1:5Chapters00:00 – Christmas isn't over yet01:00 – The manger was the beginning, not the end02:00 – Why the incarnation matters04:00 – God enters real, messy ordinary human life06:00 – Luke's overlooked Christmas details09:00 – The Body of Christ and the church's role11:00 – God showing up through ordinary people14:00 – When God feels absent18:00 – Grace always comes first21:00 – Making Christmas last all year22:30 – The light shines in the darknessLearn More: https://linktr.ee/bethanydenver

Christmas Message | Pastor Rick Packinghouse's Sunday evening worship service from December 21, 2025 Christmas is the celebration of God keeping His promises: from Genesis 3:15's first whisper of a serpent-crushing Savior, to God's covenant with David (2 Samuel 7), to Isaiah's virgin sign and stump-of-Jesse hope, to Micah's surprising choice of little Bethlehem—all fulfilled in Jesus' birth (Luke 2). In a world that feels chaotic, God has been signaling “He's coming” for millennia, and when He arrived, He came humbly and accessibly—laid in a manger so anyone could draw near. Jesus' resurrection crowned His birth with history-bending significance, turning promises into a Person who gives life abundantly and anchors our hope. God still keeps promises to provide, guide, comfort, and be with us; He doesn't promise a life without hardship, but He does promise His faithful presence through it. The right response is the Magi's: seek Him, worship Him, and offer Him your whole life. If you're ready to close the gap, simply call on Jesus—salvation is a gift of grace received by faith. - Rick Cornejo - Sunday, December 21, 2025

Sermon Title: Moment at the MangerMain Scripture: Hebrews 2:14 "Because God's children are human beings—made of flesh and blood—the Son also became flesh and blood. For only as a human being could he die, and only by dying could he break the power of the devil, who had the power of death."Synopsis: In this message, we look at the wonder of the incarnation. It is a call to see Christmas not as a means to get more from God, but to worship Him for what He has already given. Because Christ humbled Himself, fulfilled the law, defeated sin and death, and adopted us as God's children, the incarnation is more than enough.

In this Christmas Day special, New York Times bestselling author and former investigative journalist, Lee Strobel, uncovers the historical, scientific, and theological evidence behind the birth of Jesus. This is a rich, thoughtful conversation that strengthens both heart and mind during the Christmas season. Lee walks listeners through the credibility of the Gospel accounts, the prophecies fulfilled in Christ’s birth, and the evidence that the manger scene is not myth but history. He explores the incarnation, the reliability of eyewitness testimony, and why the identity of the Child in the manger changes everything about our hope, our faith, and our future.

Narcissism is challenge for family and friends anytime of the year but especially during the holiday season. On In The Market with Janet Parshall this week we turned once again to respected therapist who specializes in addressing the multitude of challenges that come with living with a narcissist to give us clear, biblically grounded guidance on dealing with this challenging personality type at this time of year. China continues its undeterred pursuit of oppression and control as it spreads its influence around the world. To understand just how dangerous this push for control and domination we once again enlisted the expertise of an expert on national security matters to address the pressure that led to the nation’s only democracy focused political party and why our leaders are not addressing the glaring vulnerabilities on our electrical system to Chinese attack. Talking to your kids about the issues that surround sexuality has always been a challenge but in our social media saturated culture our kids are exposed to so much more at a much earlier age and Christian parents can’t shy away from setting up a good, age-appropriate foundation for their kids. We turned to an expert who explained how to explain the proper age to start taking to your kids about sex, how to explain what sexual sin is and how to handle the anxiety and fear that comes with speaking to your kids about such a sensitive topic. This week we were all reminded of the evil of antisemitism as we saw the horrific video of the father and son shooters at the Bondi Beach Hanukkah celebrations in Australia. How should believers respond? Our guest a messianic Jewish believer addressed the complicated issue of antisemitism, exposing its demonic roots and presenting clear, biblically sound guidance on how God’s people should respond to His chosen ones. Even as we head into the Christmas season, deception and misleading ideas continue to populate the news feeds and social media so your need to be ever vigilant watchmen and watchwomen on the walls to protect our families never stops. Join us for another demonstration on how to use the wisdom of God’s word to discern the truth from deception in the headlines of the week.Become a Parshall Partner: http://moodyradio.org/donateto/inthemarket/partnersSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
