The Reason for the Season

The Reason for the Season

Ps. Lwela Rambuda's Christmas sermon, "The Reason for the Season," challenges us to actively "Come and Adore Him." Unpacking John 1:14 ("The Word became flesh"), this message highlights the Incarnation as the moment God moved into our world, making His presence, full of grace and truth, tangible. It is a powerful invitation to celebrate Jesus as the ultimate proof of God's love and receive your divine inheritance.

Chris and Sean step back from the noise, the stress, and the endless hustle of December to remember why this season matters in the first place — the birth of the living Christ, the foundation of hope, renewal, and grace in a chaotic world. In this heartfelt Christmas episode: ✨ Sean shares a powerful moment — when his daughter Reagan handed him a book, The Beggar and the Blue Bird, a simple story that hit him square in the heart and reminded him what truly deserves our attention during this season. Chris opens up about how overwhelmed he can get this time of year — expectations, responsibilities, the emotional weight of it all — and how easy it is to “roll off the tracks” if you lose sight of what's truly important. His honesty sets the tone for a conversation so many listeners will relate to. Together, Chris and Sean explore how to keep your heart centered, your spirit grounded, and your eyes fixed on what really matters during the Christmas season — faith, family, gratitude, generosity, and the quiet moments that remind us of God's presence. And as Light Beer | Dark Money approaches its 5th anniversary, we want to say something simple and sincere: Thank you. Thank you for listening. Thank you for watching. Thank you for supporting a podcast that literally started with the energy of an NPR sketch on SNL. We've come a long way — because of YOU.

Jesus is the reason for the season. For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten son. May the God of hope fill you with joy and peace in this season and beyond. I encourage you, be intentional to keep looking unto Jesus , and maintain an attitude of gratitude, and thanksgiving. Your best is yet to come.God cares, mindful , sees you and loves you unconditionally!

A brief pause in our Nicene Creed miniseries (fret not, it returns next week!) to talk about *clears throat, scary voice ensues* THE HOLIDAYS.Ok look: we agree. Jesus IS the reason for the season. We're on the precipice of tHe HoLiDaYs and all the madness therein. It's so easy to get sucked into the capitalist machine of Christmas and miss ... Christ. But so much of the energy around "Jesus is the Reason" also feels treacherously coded. How do we navigate this ourselves? And how do we teach our kids that Jesus is the reason, while keeping a sense of wonder and magic alive? How do we do so in a way that engenders respect for people of other faiths and none? We pose these questions with the wonderful Meredith Miller, expert in raising kids with a faith they don't need to heal from. More about Pastor Meredith: Website: https://meredithannemiller.comBook: https://www.hachettebookgroup.com/titles/meredith-miller/woven/9781546004356/Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/meredithannemiller/?hl=en+++Like what you hear?

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!

listener comments? Feedback? 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!

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.”

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.
