Love is the very essence of who God is. It is the greatest hero of our story and the reason we celebrate Christmas Day. The redemption we needed was an impossible task for us—there was nothing we could do to correct our sinful nature. We needed hope. We needed a hero to save the day. And that is exactly what we were given in Jesus Christ this Christmas Day. Enjoy.

While Nat was helping a friend get settled in a new apartment she learned that the building does DNA testing...for what?!?!?! Plus: when it comes to holiday dinners, there is something we are more interested in doing than ever before Matthew Smedley, the CEO of Mission Possible, joins us to talk about the incredible work they do on the downtown eastside and the organization's big fundraiser this week what are the trendiest names people are giving their pets in 2025?
It's soooo easy to criticize others. We can find those critical messages on yard signs, in social media posts, and overhear them in practically every conversation. It's become perhaps our culture's favorite pastime. But today, Pastor Gary brings a critical reminder: before you look at others, you must always first look at yourself. How do you do that? The answer is simple. God's Word is His mirror for your life. God's Spirit is His Spokesman to your heart. Will you let Him search you?
People have a great variety of attitudes about children. Some are gifted with such a love that they even find joy in becoming elementary school teachers. Others seem to have little patience or tolerance for children. How does God feel about children? Today, Pastor Gary answers that question by looking at God the Son in His personal ministry on earth. Jesus said, “Forbid them not, to come unto me.” When you have the same heart that Jesus has, you'll welcome His children in the same way that Jesus does.

If you're a follower of Christ, you have a high task set before you. God wants you to reach the lost. He wants you to find those to have no hope and give them hope! Today, Pastor Gary says God desires for the church to reach the lost. He doesn't want you to reach those who can make your church better, but rather wants you to go to the darkest of places and share the hope of Jesus with them. Show those who have no hope the love of Jesus today! Show them Christ so they have a reason to keep living!
The Gospel of Mark - Pastor Chris Stuffleben
Can I get vulnerable with you for a moment? When I was younger, I was bullied, and what these bullies did was make me feel small and insignificant. They would come into school to try and show me that I was worthless. Today, Pastor Gary says God gives significance to those who feel small, He gives purpose to those who have no purpose, and He gives hope to those who are hopeless. What you need to grasp is that God gives you purpose. He's the reason you're here and why you can have confidence!
When we sin, the biggest lie that gets put in our heads is that we must continually do things to fix our problem. The reality of that mindset is that you're depending on a sinner to fix the sin in their life! Today, Pastor Gary says the profound statement that the law says to do, but grace says done. Jesus paid it all for you on that cross. He desires you to have a relationship with His Father and died on the cross so you could have that opportunity! Rest in His love today, trust that when Jesus said it is finished, He meant it.
Have you ever put food coloring in a cup of water? It turns the whole cup the color of the food coloring, even if you only put a little bit of it in the cup! What if I told you that's how sin affects you and me? There's no way out of it but through the one who can make you whole. Today, Pastor Gary says Jesus went to the cross so you and I can live a life free from the bondage of sin. He was perfect, sinless! And yet He chose to die a brutal death on the cross so you and I could have a relationship with God. Isn't that awesome?
In the movie Avengers: Infinity War, the villain Thanos seems unbeatable. He must control all 6 infinity stones to control all! Once he had all 6, it felt like Thanos was in constant control of what was happening around him. Today, Pastor Gary says there's someone on the throne who doesn't need stones to be in control. He's someone you can depend on through any situation. You must depend on God so you can have a solid foundation for everything you do! He's in constant control! Trust Him to guide your life!

When I was in college, I remember taking exams where I would be lost… I would think so hard about what the answer to certain questions would be, only to never really know and end up just guessing. In today's message, Pastor Gary says there's someone who knows all the answers, so you don't have to guess in life! His name's Jesus. If you go to Him for help, He'll provide all you need. Are you relying on your own understanding for your situation today? If so, run to Jesus! He has all the answers you need!
He was an astronaut. Then his wife, Rep. Gabby Giffords, survived an act of political gun violence. Now, he's a U.S. Senator tinkering his way around the "stupid sh*t" inside Washington's machine. Can Mark Kelly convince his colleagues to look past corporate money in order to save lives? And could Charlie Kirk's killing lead to progress? Also: twins with mustaches, a first date on death row, an accidental Obama nickname... and the correct pronunciation of acetaminophen. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
When I was younger, I recall being upset when my parents would punish me because I had done something wrong. I know now that they were trying to make me a better man, but it didn't feel like that in the moment! Today, Pastor Gary says that many people don't want God's guidance but desire the benefits of knowing Him. To know God is to love all that He is. He wants to lead you and guide you to be more like His Son every day. Only God can give you eternal life, but you must be all in for His plan.

Reaching the family with the message of Jesus Christ.
It's not too crazy to say we get hungry every day, but what if I told you there's someone who can feed you, so you'll never hunger again? Today, Pastor Gary says that in Mark 2, the roof wasn't the only thing that changed that day. You see, God worked through the hearts of everyone in that room. They didn't know it, but Jesus was giving them food that's everlasting, and He wants to give you the same thing! He's offering you eternal life through His Son because that's what will fill your soul forever!
Christ's rescue mission spans every generation, culture, and background; no soul stands beyond His redemption. In today's message, Pastor Gary will remind you that you can celebrate a Savior whose arms stretch wide enough to embrace both initial skeptics, saints, and seekers alike. His grace refuses to discriminate, offering new life to those weighed down by shame and to those falsely confident in themselves. The invitation is universal—acceptance hinges only on trusting in Jesus.

Transformation runs deeper than just revised opinions; it reshapes the very fiber of who you are. And in today's message, Pastor Gary will encourage you to invite Christ to renew both your mind and your heart, aligning your thoughts with His truth while softening motives with grace. When His love permeates head and heart together, beliefs become virtues, and conviction finds power in compassionate action, overflowing into relationships and daily decisions.

Pastor Gary will warn you that passive listening can breed spiritual stagnation, but action turns revelation into revolution. In today's message, you'll be challenged to tangibly live out your faith—serving neighbors, forgiving enemies, pursuing justice, and loving relentlessly. Each obedient step you take chisels character, builds credibility, and multiplies the Gospel's impact far beyond words alone. Let your schedule, budget, and conversations reflect heaven's values.
Following the tragic loss of his brother-in-law nine years ago, Luke co-founded the charity Andy's Man Club, a peer-to-peer support movement giving men a safe space to meet and talk. What began in Halifax has since grown into a nationwide network of over 300 clubs across the UK, saving lives and breaking down stigma. This year Luke set out to complete "Mission Possible" which includes completing all five IRONMAN races in the UK alongside additional running and cycling events to support and raise awareness of Andy's Man Club. Having already completed three of the five events; IRONMAN 70.3 Bolton, IRONMAN 70.3 Swansea and IRONMAN Leeds, Luke was invited to race at the Men's IRONMAN World Championship in Nice next month as an athlete ambassador and will swap out IRONMAN 70.3 Weymouth to race in Nice before heading back to the UK to tackle IRONMAN Wales one week later. Unphased by the challenges that lie ahead, mission possible has already made a significant impact within and beyond his immediate circle and community. Throughout this insightful conversation, Luke reflects on the strong parallels between sport, mental health and resilience, the support of family and community and the power of open conversations. His athletic achievements and success to date with Mission Possible are certainly inspiring, but it's his commitment to creating lasting change through Andy's Man Club and beyond that truly sets him apart. From building communities to conquering IRONMAN races, Luke's journey shows that with purpose, resilience, self-belief and passion, anything is possible.

Faith matures when mind and heart pursue Jesus together. Study deepens understanding, sharpening our ability to discern truth and engage culture with wisdom. And in today's message, Pastor Gary will also remind you that relationship—not mere knowledge—fuels transformation. Conversing with Christ through prayer, worship, and obedient living turns learned concepts into lived convictions. You can discover a vibrant faith that is well-versed and walks closely with the One who calls you friend.

God longs to kindle a holy blaze within your soul, consuming complacency and radiating His love outward. In today's message, Pastor Gary will encourage you to consider the spark God offers—an invitation to passion, purpose, and bold witness. When you surrender dry routines to His breath, embers glow into flames that illuminate dark places and warm discouraged hearts. Step close to the Source, fuel the fire with prayer and obedience, and watch whole communities ignite through your surrendered life.
