Have you ever made a promise to God—and wondered if you could actually keep it?

In this message from our series Christmas According to Matthew, Pastor Saul takes us behind the nativity scenes we're used to and into the messy, complicated genealogy of Jesus. What do Tamar, Rahab, Ruth, and “the wife of Uriah” have to do with Christmas? Everything. Their stories remind us that God doesn't just work around brokenness—He works through it. If He can weave scandal, failure, and outsiders into the family line of Jesus, He can redeem your past too. You'll hear about: Why the holidays are often the loneliest time of year for many—and how we, the Church, are called to be the living gospel to those in despair. How God uses seasons of silence not to reject us, but to deepen our faith, dependence, and purpose. The truth that relationships may hurt you most, but your relationship with God must be the one non-negotiable. How distraction (especially through social media) can quietly derail your calling—without ever “destroying” you outright. Why your past may describe you, but it doesn't have to define you in Christ. Whether you're battling regret, feeling distant from God, or just trying to make sense of your story this Christmas, this episode will remind you: God is a covenant-maker, a promise-keeper, and He's not done with you yet.
Keeping promises is an important part of being a good and trustworthy person. It helps us build our sense of honor and duty. If we're struggling to hold onto the promises we've made, we can always ask for support– don't be afraid to communicate the help we need. So, let's always try our best to keep our promises and be someone that others can count on.

Your Hope-Filled Perspective with Dr. Michelle Bengtson podcast
Episode Summary: Christmas is often described as the most wonderful time of the year, but for many, it doesn’t feel that way. Whether because of grief, loneliness, financial strain, or painful memories, the holidays can intensify sadness instead of joy. Today on Your Hope-Filled Perspective, Jessica Van Roekel and I want to talk about what we call a ‘Blue Christmas.’ Together, we’ll explore why it’s important to give ourselves and others permission to grieve during the holiday season, how God meets us in our pain, and ways to navigate December with compassion and hope. Quotables from the episode: For some, Christmas brings laughter, lights, and loved ones. But for others, it’s a season that magnifies loss, heartache, or isolation. If you or someone you know is struggling this Christmas, you’re not alone. On today’s episode of Your Hope-Filled Perspective, Jessica Van Roekel and I will share how to give space for what we call a ‘Blue Christmas’—a time when we acknowledge that the holidays can be hard, while also discovering God’s gentle presence and the hope He offers, even in the midst of sorrow. I wanted to acknowledge that while Christmas is often referred to the most joyous time of year, it isn’t for everyone, and it’s important for us to acknowledge our thoughts and feelings, but simultaneously continue to put our hope in God. Often, Christmas is portrayed as magical, joyous, and full of peace. But for many, that’s simply not the reality. Grief, depression, loneliness, or broken family relationships can make Christmas feel heavy. And pretending everything is fine when it’s not only deepens the ache. God invites us to bring Him our honest emotions. Think about the Psalms—David poured out his sorrows, and yet found hope in God’s presence. Let’s name some reasons people might struggle at Christmas: Grief from losing a loved one. Family estrangement or broken relationships. Loneliness, especially for singles, widows, or those far from family. Financial hardship that makes gift-giving stressful. Mental health battles like depression or anxiety. Unmet expectations. Christmas can amplify those pains. Lights and carols may remind us of what we don’t have. But Jesus came into a world of darkness. Isaiah 9:2 says, “The people walking in darkness have seen a great light.” His presence is especially near to the brokenhearted (Psalm 34:18). Sometimes we pressure ourselves to “put on a happy face.” But it’s okay to grieve at Christmas. Lament is part of worship. Jesus Himself wept (John 11:35). If the Son of God cried at loss, then tears are holy too. Giving yourself permission to be real is not a lack of faith. We can also set boundaries. Maybe we can’t attend every party. Maybe we create new traditions that feel gentler for our souls this year. Sometimes the best gift is presence, not presents. Just sitting with someone, listening, or sending a simple “thinking of you” note can mean the world. And don’t say, “You should be happy, it’s Christmas.” Instead, validate their feelings. Romans 12:15 says, “Rejoice with those who rejoice; mourn with those who mourn.” Another practical tip—invite them into your traditions in small ways, without pressure. Even a quiet cup of cocoa together can bring comfort. At the heart of Christmas is Emmanuel—God with us. That truth doesn’t change, whether our Christmas is merry or blue. We can both acknowledge sorrow and cling to hope. One way is through Scripture meditation. Even reading Luke 2 slowly and remembering that Christ entered a broken, chaotic world can remind us we’re not alone. Some practical things that help: Create a memory box or light a candle in honor of a loved one. Simplify expectations. You don’t have to do all the traditions. Prioritize rest and self-care. Spend time with safe people who encourage your heart. And when emotions overwhelm, breathe a prayer like: “Lord, hold me in this moment.” God doesn’t require eloquence—He wants our honesty. Friend, if you’re facing a Blue Christmas, know this: You are not broken because you feel sorrow. God sees you, loves you, and promises to draw near. He is “Immanuel—God with us.” That’s the real miracle of Christmas. Whether your Christmas is filled with joy or tears, His presence is your anchor. Scripture References: Psalm 42:11 “Why, my soul, are you downcast? Put your hope in God…” Matthew 1:23 “They will call Him Immanuel, which means ‘God with us.’” Ecclesiastes 3:4 “a time to weep and a time to laugh, a time to mourn and a time to dance” Isaiah 9:2 “The people walking in darkness have seen a great light.” Psalm 34:18 His presence is especially near to the brokenhearted. Romans 12:15 “Rejoice with those who rejoice; mourn with those who mourn.” Recommended Resources: Reframing Rejection: How Looking Through a Different Lens Changes Everything By Jessica Van Roekel Sacred Scars: Resting in God’s Promise That Your Past Is Not Wasted by Dr. Michelle Bengtson The Hem of His Garment: Reaching Out To God When Pain Overwhelms by Dr. Michelle Bengtson, winner AWSA 2024 Golden Scroll Christian Living Book of the Year and the 2024 Christian Literary Awards Reader’s Choice Award in the Christian Living and Non-Fiction categories YouVersion 5-Day Devotional Reaching Out To God When Pain Overwhelms Today is Going to be a Good Day: 90 Promises from God to Start Your Day Off Right by Dr. Michelle Bengtson, AWSA Member of the Year, winner of the AWSA 2023 Inspirational Gift Book of the Year Award, the 2024 Christian Literary Awards Reader’s Choice Award in the Devotional category, the 2023 Christian Literary Awards Reader’s Choice Award in four categories, and the Christian Literary Awards Henri Award for Devotionals YouVersion Devotional, Today is Going to be a Good Day version 1 YouVersion Devotional, Today is Going to be a Good Day version 2 Revive & Thrive Women’s Online Conference Revive & Thrive Summit 2 Trusting God through Cancer Summit 1 Trusting God through Cancer Summit 2 Breaking Anxiety’s Grip: How to Reclaim the Peace God Promises by Dr. Michelle Bengtson, winner of the AWSA 2020 Best Christian Living Book First Place, the first place winner for the Best Christian Living Book, the 2020 Carolina Christian Writer’s Conference Contest winner for nonfiction, and winner of the 2021 Christian Literary Award’s Reader’s Choice Award in all four categories for which it was nominated (Non-Fiction Victorious Living, Christian Living Day By Day, Inspirational Breaking Free and Testimonial Justified by Grace categories.)

Ever had a client drop the ball? They miss a key deadline, shift direction mid-project, or conveniently "forget" what you both agreed on? It's maddening, right? Those moments can make even the most seasoned freelancer question everything about their business. But here's the twist: those "broken promises" might actually be pointing to your biggest opportunities for growth. In this short episode, we're diving into what really lies beneath client chaos — and how to turn frustration into a roadmap for stronger systems, better communication, and a more resilient business. What You'll Learn Why client "failures" often signal a systems gap, not a people problem How to identify and fix weak spots in your expectations, communication, and boundaries The mindset shift that transforms frustration into clarity Simple tools (like a change request form!) that can turn scope creep into smooth, profitable processes Key Takeaways Every "broken promise" reveals a gap in your value exchange. Outlier clients exist, but most missteps are fixable with clearer expectations and structure. When you make expectations crystal clear and reinforce them consistently, chaos disappears. The solution is often better systems and boundaries. What feels like rejection is often an invitation to improve your business model.

We've all had moments this year we wish we could redo. This episode will show you how those moments reveal your values, your growth, and your next steps.This week on Raw & Unscripted, host Christopher Rausch, the #NoExcusesCoach is taking a fearless look in the mirror. Not to judge, not to shame— but to finally get honest about how we showed up this year.Let's be real: at the start of the year, we all made promises. “This is the year I get healthy.” “This is the year I stop tolerating the crap I've put up with for too long.” “This is the year I follow through.”But now the year is ending… and the question that matters most is this:Did I honor the commitments I made to myself—or did I negotiate my way out of them?In this episode, I'm giving you the exact questions that will challenge you, stretch you, and wake you up to your own power. We'll dig into the moments you'd redo, the truths you avoided, the standards you upheld, and the excuses that quietly stole your momentum.This isn't about beating yourself up—this is about reclaiming your integrity, recalibrating your focus, and stepping into next year with clarity instead of hope.If you're ready to stop repeating years… and start transforming them…Then buckle up—because this one is going to hit you right in the heart.This is Raw. This is real.This is Raw & Unscripted.Let's go.Are you subscribed to the podcast?

Have you ever received a prophetic promise from God — only to find yourself waiting, wondering, or even walking through harder circumstances afterward? Don't lose faith! In this message, Robert shares Biblical insight into how God actually brings His promises to pass — so you can begin to recognize how God works, and stay encouraged all along the way to seeing His promises fulfilled in your life.
In a messed up, crazy, scattered world like we saw after Babel, we would be right to ask again, "Who can God work through to save us?" There's great news! God can use – and has used – unlikely and unexpected people to fulfill His promises to save! Join us in Genesis 11:10–12:3 for the transition from the ancient world to a wonderful stage of God's salvation story with Abra(ha)m. God is always faithful to save!
From Eden's first prophecy to Jesus our Rescuer, God meets us in shame and hiding with mercy for today and certainty for tomorrow. If you're waiting in the dark, hear this: God is faithful—even when He feels slow, He's never late. We have a reason to hope and His name is Jesus.
Skepticism Over China's Renewed Promise to Buy US Farm Products — John Batchelor, Gordon Chang, Alan Tonelson — Chang and Tonelson express skepticism regarding China's latest promises to expand American agricultural purchases, particularly soybeans, reiterating unfulfilled commitments from the 2020 Phase One trade agreement. Tonelson cites China's well-documented history of violating trade commitments and bilateral agreements. Batchelorraises concern that agricultural sector lobbying is disproportionately influencing American trade policy, potentially obscuring critical deficiencies in US manufacturing competitiveness and structural national security vulnerabilities. 1959
Solomonster reviews WWE Raw after Survivor Series as Triple H promised us an EPIC SHOW. We didn't get an epic show, but what we got was largely good stuff with Jey Uso and LA Knight fighting for the right to lose to Gunther in the finals of "The Last Time Is Now" tournament, while Gunther and Solo Sikoa had a MUCH better match than most people expected. Plus, Bron Breakker has a date for his World championship match with CM Punk and just cut his best promo yet, and Liv Morgan has already made it clear who the REAL leader of the Judgment Day is.***Follow Solomonster on X (formerly Twitter) for news and opinion:http://x.com/solomonsterSubscribe to the Solomonster Sounds Off on YouTube:https://www.youtube.com/user/TheSolomonster?sub_confirmation=1Become a Solomonster Sounds Off Channel Member:https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC9jcg7mk93fGNqWPMfl_Aig/join

Have you ever had a moment when your heart needed something solid to hold onto—something steady beneath your feet when nothing else felt certain? I think we’ve all been there. And in those tender places, there’s nothing more grounding than remembering the promises of God, promises He has never once failed to keep. That’s why I couldn’t wait to share this week’s conversation on The Love Offering with my friend Rachel Wojo. Rachel has lived through seasons that would shake anyone, yet she has learned—slowly and faithfully—to cling to the unchanging Word of God. Her new journal, Praying the Promises of God: A 52-Week Guided Prayer Journal, is a beautiful reflection of that journey. Rachel reminds us that while life often hands us disappointment or sorrow, God’s promises remain steady and true. Each page of her journal helps you read Scripture, remember His faithfulness, and reflect on His goodness—all while giving space to write your prayers, process your thoughts, and trace His hand in your everyday life. It’s the kind of resource that becomes a companion, especially in a season where we’re longing for peace. In our conversation, Rachel shares how praying God’s promises can melt worry into rest, strengthen weary hearts, and draw us deeper into His love. If you’ve been craving a fresh way to connect with the Lord in your quiet time—or if you simply need a gentle reminder that you’re held—this episode will speak right to you. I’d love for you to listen in today. I believe it will encourage your heart just as much as it did mine.

Join SADA's CTO, Miles Ward, and Associate CTO of AI & ML, Simon Margolis, for this special and final episode of the Cloud and Clear podcast. They share their biggest, most impactful predictions for 2026 and beyond, focusing on the massive shift required for businesses to get value from AI. Miles and Simon discuss how the conversation around AI investment is changing. Boards will no longer tolerate putting AI in the R&D bucket. The focus is shifting from "what's possible" to "what's profitable," demanding financial returns on a quarterly basis. In this insightful discussion, you will learn: The model choice: Why optimizing your model selection matters, noting that a model like Gemini Pro 2.5 can have output tokens that are 25 times more expensive than Gemini Flash. Service as software: The need to think of your business as a new startup, building "machinery to let you run service as if it's software." Democratization: How "anybody that knows their natural language is able to go and build some type of truly agentic system." The ability to build a prototype with a prompt is replacing lengthy Product Requirement Documents (PRDs). The luxury trap: Why reducing friction will become a required, contractually obligated expectation. This includes developing "user interfaces for an audience of one" to accommodate different customer cohorts. If you are a technology leader, cloud engineer, or executive looking to set your strategy for the next wave of transformation, this episode is packed with valuable knowledge. And even though this is the last Cloud and Clear, the journey continues with InsightON!

Tighten up your accounts receivable, and don't play games with cash. An invoice is only a promise to get paid. Promises are broken all the time. You're not done until you've collected payment. Getting paid isn't greed. It's stewardship. It's professionalism. And it's customer service.
In this Advent kickoff episode, Anna and Matt take us back to the very beginning of the Bible to remember why we needed a Savior and why Christmas is such good news. As they retell the story of Adam and Eve, kids learn how sin first entered the world — and how God made a big promise to send a Rescuer. Advent means “coming,” and this season helps us remember that God kept His promise by sending Jesus… and we get to celebrate that together! What You'll Learn
