The true meaning of Christmas can easily get buried under gifts, traditions, and cultural noise, but it has always centered on one life-changing reality: the birth of Jesus Christ. Reflecting on Christmas through the lens of faith helps shift our focus from material celebration to the eternal hope and salvation Christ brings into the world. Highlights Childhood Christmas traditions can unintentionally center more on materialism than meaning Familiar cultural moments, like classic Christmas specials, can point back to the Gospel Christmas offers a unique opportunity to share faith with those who may not know Christ The birth of Jesus fulfills long-awaited hope and promise Christ entered the world humbly, not with extravagance or recognition Christmas is an invitation to refocus our hearts on salvation, not spectacle Sharing the meaning of Christmas helps renew our own faith Gift Inspiration: Crosswalk's Holiday Gift Guide Looking for a meaningful way to celebrate the season? Check out our Holiday Gift Guide—from beautifully illustrated Bibles and devotionals to novels, greeting cards, and picture books, there’s something for everyone on your list. Wrap up stories for loved ones, tuck a book into your own nightstand, and join us in celebrating the wonder of giving this Christmas! Full Transcript Below: Reflecting on the True Meaning of Christmas By Vivian Bricker Bible Reading: “Today in the town of David a Savior has been born to you; he is the Messiah, the Lord” (Luke 2:11). A Christmas tradition in my family was watching “A Charlie Brown Christmas” each year. Countless times, I saw this television special, but its meaning would elude me. While I could blame childish ways of thinking, the real reason I wasn’t paying attention to the more profound meaning was that I was rather fascinated by the materialism of Christmas. I loved the gifts, fancy dinners, and elaborate decorations. When I rewatched “A Charlie Brown Christmas” as an adult, I quickly saw all of the connections it had with the Gospel. Linus shares the true meaning of Christmas—the birth of Jesus Christ, the Messiah. As an adult, I was shocked that this Christmas special continued to air in such an anti-Christian world. Nonetheless, I am thankful this special continues to be shared, and hopefully it has led many people to the true meaning of Christmas. Sadly, so many people still do not know that Christmas is about the coming of Christ. They are blinded to the truth. The devil will continue to blind people; however, Christmas is the perfect way to share the Gospel and combat the devil’s schemes. By sharing the true meaning of Christmas with others, it can help them come to know the Lord as their personal Savior. Intersecting Faith & Life: A classic Christmas passage you can share with others is Luke 2:11: “Today in the town of David a Savior has been born to you; he is the Messiah, the Lord.” From this passage, we are told that a Savior has been born and He is the Messiah. As we share this passage with others, it can help us reflect on the true meaning of Christmas ourselves. During the timespan from the fall of mankind until the coming of the Lord, everyone was awaiting the Messiah. Endless Old Testament prophecies pointed to the coming Messiah, who would bring lasting peace to His people. When Gabriel shares the message detailed in Luke 2:11, the people would have been overjoyed at this wonderful news. The Savior, who would save them from their sins, had finally come. When we reflect on this truth, it helps us understand the significance of the Lord coming down to earth. He is our Savior, who left Heaven in order to save us from our sins. He was humbly born in a stable without any special treatment. Jesus deserved every wonderful thing, yet He entered the world on a silent night. Because of the Lord’s birth into the world, He was able to grow up, live a sinless life, and die for our sins. This is what Christmas is all about, and Jesus is the One we should be celebrating. We can do this by sharing our knowledge of Christ with others. Christmas only comes once a year, yet the Lord sacrificed His life in order for us to have peace every day of the year. Who can you share the true meaning of Christmas with this week? Whenever you are distracted from the true meaning of Christmas, how can you bring your heart back to the Lord? Pray with me: Dear Lord, thank You for showing me the true meaning of Christmas—You. Help me to always stay focused on You and Your birth into the world. Please also help me to lead others to know You this Christmas season. I praise You, Lord. Amen.

How to nurture the best in people with consistency and be remembered for what matters. This is going to be a different episode about a cake my nan used to make. But isn't just a story about cake. It's about the difference between control and nurture. My school thought resilience came from forcing kids to clear their plates (even if they ended up vomitting). They were wrong. My Nan knew that real strength comes from consistency. She made me the same pineapple upside-down cake every time I visited for a decade. Even when she went blind, she kept creating. She was an entrepreneur, an artist, and the village baker. She taught me that you don't build character by breaking someone's spirit. You build it by showing up. By paying attention. By finding the one thing they can stomach and giving it to them again and again. Nurture over control: You get more out of people by supporting their quirks than forcing compliance. Consistency is love: Showing up the same way for years builds more trust than grand gestures. Create despite limits: My Nan went blind and kept making things; focus on what you can do. Listen to learn how a simple cake became a masterclass in leadership and love. SPONSORS

We listen to voice messages from our Droughties on the Droughtlander Hotline and read some of the DMs and comments you sent in—our hearts are absolutely full after all the love and support.

As we close out the year, today we slow down and reflect together. This final Morning Chat of 2025 is not about tactics, growth hacks, or chasing trends. It is a community pause. We look back on the wins that reminded us why we podcast, share one word we want to carry into 2026, and talk about how we want to show up for our listeners in the year ahead. You will hear honest reflections about creative fatigue, motivation, consistency, boundaries, and the seasons that come with making content over time. We talk about reconnecting with purpose, letting go of pressure, and giving ourselves permission to rest without guilt. This is an invitation to notice what you built this year, even if it feels messy or unfinished. To name what mattered. To ask yourself what you want more of, and what you are ready to release.Episode Highlights:[02:24] Reflecting on 2025 and looking ahead to 2026[04:02] Choosing guiding words for 2026[04:46] Sharing personal words and intentions[12:21] Overcoming creative slumps[22:44] Focusing on goals for 2026[30:24] A thoughtful discussion on the overuse of authenticity[35:42] Promises to listeners for 2026[41:21] Podcasting wins and end-of-year reflectionsLinks & Resources: Join The Empowered Podcasting Facebook Group:www.facebook.com/groups/empoweredpodcasting⁠Remember to rate, follow, share, and review our podcast.

Have you ever considered that the most profound growth happens in the stillness of life's winters? Katherine May's concept of "Wintering" challenges us to view these quiet times not as setbacks but as necessary periods for renewal and introspection. It's about recognizing that slowing down and stepping back can rejuvenate our spirits. By appreciating these quiet seasons, we allow space for personal growth and the reinforcement of our core values. Reflecting on these ideas made me realize how often I've resisted slowing down, seeing it as counterproductive. Yet, in embracing rest and retreat, we can find contentment in being enough, even amid apparent inertia. These quiet times are invitations to connect deeply, both with ourselves and with those around us, paving the way for transformative change and a renewed sense of purpose.

As runners, it's so easy to look back on a year and immediately zoom in on what didn't go as planned — the missed runs, the injuries, the goals we didn't hit. In this episode, we slow things down and invite you into a different kind of reflection — one rooted in curiosity, compassion, and growth rather than judgment.We guide you through a thoughtful process to reflect on your year in running, helping you notice both the visible wins and the quieter moments that shaped you along the way. Instead of asking, “Was this a good year or a bad year?” we explore more meaningful questions like: What supported you? What challenged you? What did your body and mind teach you?You'll be prompted with reflective questions designed to help you:Celebrate the wins you might be overlookingLearn from setbacks without attaching shame or frustrationRecognize patterns in your training, recovery, and mindsetUnderstand what truly helped you stay consistent (and what didn't)We also talk about the importance of separating who you are as a runner from any single race, pace, or performance — and how identity-based intentions can create more sustainable motivation and joy moving forward.This episode isn't about setting rigid goals or forcing a fresh start. It's about integration — taking the lessons from this year and carrying them forward in a way that feels supportive, intentional, and aligned with the runner you want to continue becoming.If you've ever felt stuck, disappointed, or unsure about how to move into a new season of running, this conversation will help you reflect with clarity, confidence, and self-trust.

If you sprint through your creative business all year, it's easy to end the year without a single moment to catch your breath. It's even easier to roll into January 1 with another checklist and no real clarity on what actually worked. Before 2026 begins, you're invited to hit the reset button with one powerful tool I use every single year: the CEO Report. Whether you print it, use it in Canva, or save it to your iPad for digital notes, this report walks you through a complete business and content audit.

Fashion icon Bella Freud on abandoning psychics, learning to trust herself and realising that what happens next is entirely up to her. Freud is a designer and creative whose clothes have adorned the likes of Zadie Smith, Kate Moss, Little Simz and…well…me. She's also a cult podcaster with her hit show, Fashion Neurosis, where guests are invited to examine what clothes mean to them. She's lived a fascinating life: the daughter of Lucian Freud, the great-granddaughter of psychoanalyst Sigmund and the sister of novelist Esther who wrote the novel Hideous Kinky about their childhood. Now in her 60s, she joins me to explore why she's always late, why she regrets never joining the circus and what it's really like carrying the weight of such an instantly recognisable family name. Plus: why she no longer goes to psychics. Bella is so smart, considered and stylish. This free-ranging conversation will make you think, laugh and feel unexpectedly hopeful about getting older. ✨ IN THIS EPISODE: 00:00 Introduction 04:04 The Power of Fashion and Design 06:47 Challenges in the Fashion Industry 11:52 The Significance of Punctuality 17:02 Childhood Memories and Their Impact 22:18 Therapy and Family Loss 26:13 Reflecting on a Peaceful Passing 27:43 Family Dynamics 30:04 The Circus Job That Never Was 32:33 Sibling Relationships and Childhood Roles 36:06 The Legacy of the Freud Name 41:23 Embracing Failures and Life Lessons 46:28 Living Authentically and Joyfully
