Podcasts about reason for the season

What's up, dudes? They're a legendary metal band whose songs were played all the time on MTV. Yes, we're talking Stryper! I've got the incredible Michael Sweet with me to talk about their 1984 singles “Reason for the Season” and “Winter Wonderland!” We also dive into their new album The Greatest Gift of All available this year in November.The boys lay down an eighth note riff in “Reason for the Season,” and modulate for the chorus. The song is full of their dual lead guitar, harmonized in 3rds for texture and interest. After coming to a rocked out climax, it ends with harmonics and acoustic and clean tone electrics. The tight vocal pads give an ethereal feeling contrasting with the previous heavy straightforward rock vibe.Released in December ‘84, the single had a Stryperized version of the classic “Winter Wonderland” as a B-side. This time the band gave the song a swing eighth-triplet riff. After some introductory dialogue, they launch into it, and segue nicely into a triplet dual lead solo. Uniquely, a turnaround transitions to an Elvis inspired bluesy half time rendition of the chorus.And now, this year the band has a new Christmas album! Stryper The Greatest Gift of All is full of classics and original tunes. From a lush and calming “Silent Night” to an uptempo “Joy to the World,” it has it all. The album even ends with re-recordings of their two ‘80s singles, updating them sonically and ending with a bang!Guitar? Check. Soaring vocals? Yep. Full on Stryper vibes? Definitely! So grab your axe, put on your Christmas pajamas, and rock out to this episode on Stryper The Greatest Gift of All!StryperFB: @StryperFB: @MichaelSweet IG: @StryperGive us a buzz!

Shoot us a text!Well, dear listeners, it's that time of year again: when the mainstream media and their corporate overlords conspire to wage war on the winter holiday meant to celebrate the birth of our savior and erase our annual traditions. We are referring of course, to the birth of Witzilopochtli as our sun reborn, and the associated feast of Panketzaliztli. But fear not, dear listeners, because here in Aztlantis we proudly say “Merry Panketzaliztli” and honor Witzilopochtli as the true reason for the season!Tlazkamati to Micorazonmexica for the amazing episode artwork!

Episode Synopsis: Is Christmas simply a holiday of trees and presents, eggnog and candy canes, or do the cryptic traditions of man conceal an evil presence being worshiped during this winter holiday? We talk about this and much more, including: Does the pagan celebration of the Winter Solstice have anything to do with December traditions? Is there any way Jesus could have been born on December 25th? If not, then why do we “remember” His birth on this day? How has two of ancient Rome's most prominent pagan festivals, Sol Invictus and Saturnalia, influenced the Christian celebration of Christmas? What is Yule and why do we talk and sing about it during the Christmas season? Is there any connection between the American “flu” season and the practicing of pagan holy days? What has God said about the ways in which we worship Him, and does He get anything out of Christians observing Christmas?

December 8, 2024. Fr. Tyler's homily for the 2nd Sunday of Advent (and last Sunday mass on campus until January 12, 2025!)   Gospel Lk 3:1-6 In the fifteenth year of the reign of Tiberius Caesar,  when Pontius Pilate was governor of Judea,  and Herod was tetrarch of Galilee, and his brother Philip tetrarch of the region of Ituraea and Trachonitis,  and Lysanias was tetrarch of Abilene,  during the high priesthood of Annas and Caiaphas,  the word of God came to John the son of Zechariah in the desert. John went throughout the whole region of the Jordan,  proclaiming a baptism of repentance for the forgiveness of sins,  as it is written in the book of the words of the prophet Isaiah:     A voice of one crying out in the desert:     “Prepare the way of the Lord,         make straight his paths.     Every valley shall be filled         and every mountain and hill shall be made low.     The winding roads shall be made straight,         and the rough ways made smooth,     and all flesh shall see the salvation of God.”

The Christmas season can be a bit messy. It's always been a bit messy, because we're all a bit messy. In this new series, we'll discover our messiness is the reason there's a Christmas in the first place.

We often say that Jesus is the reason we celebrate Christmas, but the truth is that Jesus came to earth for us so we are the true reason for the season. He offers us the gift of eternal life and all we have to do is accept it and let Him come live in us and through us.

How many times have you heard (or said), "Jesus is the reason for the season"? The sentiment is good, but the reality is that WE are the reason for the season -- because WE are the reason He came to the world. He was born for us, He lived for us, He died for us, and He rose again for us -- all so that He could offer us a free gift of eternal life that we never earned or deserved. There is no greater Christmas gift, and all we have to do is accept it!

Every time the Christmas season comes around, we look forward to putting up a tree, giving and receiving gifts, and participating in other traditions that make this wonderful time of year so special. But sometimes, the most significant aspect of the season — remembering the birth of Jesus — grows old and familiar.What better way to focus your heart on Christ than with a 25-day Bible reading plan?We're excited to give away a brand-new free resource from Paul Tripp Ministries: the Everyday Gospel Christmas Devotional. This downloadable ebook includes 25 daily readings by Paul, each paired with a Scripture passage and a prayer.In today's episode, we'll share the introduction and the December 1 entry to help you meditate on the true reason for the season.To download your free copy and follow along every day until Christmas, go to PaulTripp.com/Christmas.

The movie kicks off with a great rendition of Deck the Halls that might be the new theme song for Deck the Hallmark. Cut to a woman driving in a car, giving herself a pep talk and talking to herself and her baby, whom she is pregnant with. Suddenly, she feels a sharp pain, drives into a town, and runs into a diner, saying she thinks she's going into labor but that the snow is really coming down. Luckily, there's a doctor in the diner who has personally delivered over 100 babies! The birth is successful, and the baby is healthy. She names her Evie Lang. The group takes a picture to celebrate—there's a doctor, a police officer, a lawyer, and some other fancy folks. The doctor gives the baby a little checkup and realizes the baby may have an abdominal blockage, so they all work together to get the baby to the hospital. They save the baby's life, take up a collection to pay the hospital bill, and send them on their way.Cut to the present day, when the mother, Elizabeth Lane, is giving a speech about the success of her skincare brand, Lane Cosmetics. Evie is now an adult, and her mom brings her up on stage to celebrate the success of women. Evie is clearly uncomfortable being on stage. She's in fashion but isn't having much success. Her mom tells her she's been spoiled and needs to learn how to do something hard. So she gives her the Polaroid of the people who helped her on the night she was born. Her mom explains that Evie has to go and find these people and grant Christmas wishes to each of them. If she fails this mission, she'll lose her trust fund.So, Evie heads back to the town and is disappointed by the absolutely massive inn she has to stay in. She goes by the name of Mary so as not to give herself away. She decides to go and ask the only attorney in town for help finding the people in this picture. He says, “I could do that, but why would I?” She says she wants to give them an award. He replies, “That's not what this town is all about, especially dressed like that.” So, she goes to find an outfit that's a bit more low-key. They go and grab a bite to eat, and the diner owner tells them the story of what happened that night.Kyle agrees to help her find the people, but they're going to go at his pace. Up first is Roy, and Evie ends up being voluntold to be the elf in the town square. The diner owner quickly figures out who she is, and she comes clean. She asks what his wish is. At first, he's hesitant but tells her to let him think on it. She is blown away by how nice everyone in this town is and realizes that's going to make it hard for her to finish this project quickly.The next day, she ends up backing out and almost hitting a police car. Turns out, that cop is someone she needs to repay, but she doesn't want to reveal her true identity, so she ends up getting arrested. Evie is blown away by the kindness and doesn't know how she's going to repay them. She finds out that someone has been this town's Secret Santa—paying hospital bills, etc., for a long time. She calls her mom, and her mom explains that she tried to repay everyone many moons ago but couldn't do it. So, good luck, kid. It's just your trust fund at risk.The pressure is mounting, and what better way to deal with said pressure than by ice skating with Kyle? She decides to tell him the truth about who she is, and Kyle's like, “Oh, yeah, I know.” But he was unaware that she was doing this just to make sure she didn't lose her trust fund. You can tell he's like, “Oh, boo hoo to you,” but they continue their quest, and he continues to just watch her from afar.The diner owner is impressed by Evie, and he calls Elizabeth to encourage her to come and see all the good that Evie has been doing in the town. So, Elizabeth comes, and she's so proud of Evie. She has done so much good. She finds out that Kyle's dad was the one who took the picture, so she has to make his wish come true.They have a birthday party at the diner for Evie, and she tells her mom she wants to do more of this kind of stuff with her trust fund. She asks Kyle what he wants, and he says, “I want you,” and they kiss. Everyone takes one more picture together.
