This week we kicked off our new Christmas series, Misfit Toys! In this series, we see that Christmas and misfits go hand-in-hand (Rudolph the red-nosed reindeer, Buddy the elf, and so on), but they also play a huge part in the Bible story, and specifically the Christmas narrative.Over the next few weeks, we will be taking a look at some of these misfit characters; taking a look at who they were, and the things that they did, in hopes that these would encourage us in our walks with Jesus.This Sunday we began by taking a look at Joseph, one of the most important and yet understated characters in the Christmas story. We examined how a life of quiet courage helped to move the kingdom of God forward.Join us for service online or in person every Sunday at 8am, 9:30am, 11am, & 12:30pm (PST).Connect to Captivate! - https://shorturl.at/nKxQuDownload the Captivate App to Stay Connected! - https://shorturl.at/5PfXPIf you want to share how God is moving in your life through this ministry, please let us know at info@captivatesd.com!Decided To Follow Jesus?

He saves a Christmas musical and discovers love, family, and friendship as the greatest holiday gifts. He reunites with his family and friends.AIR DATE & NETWORK FOR THE SNOW MUST GO ONNovember 28, 2025 | Hallmark ChannelCAST & CREW OF THE SNOW MUST GO ONCorey Cott as Isaiah HeywardHeather Hemmens as Lilly-AnneBRAN'S THE SNOW MUST GO ON SYNOPSISThe movie starts with a Rudolph musical. It's safe to say this is off-Broadway. Actor Isaiah Heyward wrote, directed, and stars in the one-man show that no one cared about. He put his heart and soul into it, working on it for over a year.His sister, Jess, and her daughter, Aurora, show up to cheer him on and invite him home for Christmas. He says he has a big Broadway audition tomorrow, so he can't come.Isaiah shows up for the audition and sees a poster for a musical he was in long ago. Now, he can't even get in the room to audition before the casting director leaves for the day. To make matters worse, he gets fired from his caroling gig for showing up late.With nothing else going on, he heads home to Hancock.His sister picks him up and immediately guilt-trips Isaiah for not being around for Aurora, who is struggling to adjust to her parents' divorce. To make it up to her, he offers to pick her up from school — and naturally ends up taking over as director of the Christmas musical when the old director quits.The school guidance counselor, Lilly-Anne, gets roped into being the staff supervisor.But it turns out Isaiah doesn't just have to direct — he has to finish writing the show, which happens to be about reindeer.It doesn't take long for Lilly-Anne to open up to him about her past. Isaiah discovers that one of the kids in the theater program is the daughter of the woman cast in the musical he wanted to audition for. He hatches a plan: he's going to cast himself as the lead to impress her.Aurora hears about his plan and volunteers to help make his vision come to life.Lilly-Anne helps Isaiah learn how to work with kids, including helping one student, Steven, conquer his fear of singing in public and audition for the musical. There's a lot of confusion over why Isaiah cast himself as the lead, but Aurora convinces everyone they're lucky to learn from a Broadway legend.He starts spending more time with Lilly-Anne outside of rehearsals — holding hands while looking at Christmas lights, watching a movie together, and shopping for a bad Charlie Brown-style Christmas tree.After showing off his stage lighting setup, Isaiah and Lilly-Anne share a kiss — but he's conflicted because he hasn't told her the truth about why he's the lead.To help the kids feel comfortable performing in front of an audience, they go Christmas caroling.The more Isaiah cares about the kids, the wiser he feels — but it's time for the final dress rehearsal. He finds out a producer will be in the audience, so he goes out there and crushes it. The producer finds him backstage and invites him to the city on Christmas Eve to audition. Isaiah is thrilled — it's what he's been waiting for. Unfortunately, Lilly-Anne overhears, is upset, and demands he tell the kids the truth, or she will. It does not go well.He goes to the audition but can't focus, constantly thinking about letting the kids down. He tells the producer he has to return to Hancock to see the lead — the kids' performance — and pleads with her to come with him.She shows up just in time to give a pep talk, and Isaiah arrives behind her to apologize to everyone.The show is a smash hit. He tells Lilly-Anne this is his favorite standing ovation. He confesses that he has a new dream — one with her — and decides he doesn't want to go back to Broadway. The snow machine starts, they kiss, and he quips, “The snow must go on.” Watch the show on Youtube - www.deckthehallmark.com/youtubeInterested in advertising on the show?

You know Dasher, and Dancer, and Prancer, and Vixen. Santa, and Frosty, and Rudolph, and Dickens. But do you know? The Alluring Dark Spirits of old? In this episode, you can meet three of the Dark Spirits of the Christmas with my guest Tania Yager. Tania is the author of the book The Allure of the Dark Spirits (which will be available Dec. 5, 2025 on Lulu). We talk about the process of getting the book written and about the three topics of the book: Krampus, La Befana, and the Mari Lwyd. The book "is a whimsical, bombastic, and deeply heartfelt journey into the shadowy magic of winter folklore. Part memoir, part shamanic exploration, and part folklore celebration, Yager invites readers to walk beside her as she meets the Alpine Krampus in the snowy streets of Munich, seeks out the Italian witch La Befana, and revisits her own bittersweet ties to Wales through the ghostly Mari Lwyd." We had a great discussion (one of the longer I've done) talking about her journey and about the spirits. The book will be available for order on Dec. 5, 2025 (Krampusnacht) in time for the holiday season. A gift for yourself and that special friend in your life who also enjoys the spirits of winter.

The AI revolution of the past few years is built on brain-inspired neural network models originally developed to study our own minds. The question is, what should we make of the fact that our own rich mental lives are built on the same foundations as the seemingly soulless chat-bots we now interact with on a daily basis?Our guest this week is Stanford cognitive scientist Jay McClelland, who has been a leading figure in this field since the 1980s, when he developed some of the first of these artificial neural network models. Now McClelland has a new book, co-authored with SF State University computational neuroscientist Gaurav Suri, called "The Emergent Mind: How Intelligence Arises in People and Machines." We spoke with McClelland about the entangled history of neuroscience and AI, and whether the theory of the emergent mind described in the book can help us better understand ourselves and our relationship with the technology we've created.Learn More New book sheds light on human and machine intelligence | Stanford ReportHow Intelligence – Both Human and Artificial – Happens | KQED Forum From Brain to Machine: The Unexpected Journey of Neural Networks | Stanford HAIWu Tsai Neuro's Center for Mind, Brain, Computation and TechnologyMcClelland, J.

November 24, 2025 - Season 16, Episode 54 of The Terrible Podcast is now in the can. In this Monday morning episode, Alex Kozora and I get right into our overarching thoughts on the Pittsburgh Steelers' Week 12 Sunday afternoon road loss to the Chicago Bears. In our weekly housekeeping portion of this Monday show, which is sponsored by the fine folks at TouringPlans.com, Alex and I talk about the Sunday afternoon inactive list and how the Steelers decided to sit QB Aaron Rodgers as one of the team's five inactive players against the Bears. We discuss Rodgers not even being listed as the emergency third quarterback on Sunday. The Steelers sustained a few injuries during Sunday's road loss to the Bears, so we discuss what happened to CB Joey Porter Jr. (hip), T Broderick Jones (stinger), and WR DK Metcalf (ankle) during the contest. We also discuss the prospects of Rodgers returning to action on Sunday for the team's week 13 home game. After going through the newsy items related to Sunday's game, Alex and I look at what all transpired at Soldier Field in Chicago. We first talk about the play of the Steelers' defense and how poor things looked on that side of the football. We discuss that unit's play against the run on Sunday and several plays of 10 yards or longer that were allowed. We also discuss the defense's inability to get pressure on Bears QB Caleb Williams on Sunday. The Steelers methodology and scheming late in the first half against the Bears really upset Alex and me. We also discuss the longest touchdown pass allowed by the Steelers defense on Sunday and how the coverage used on that play shouldn't have been completely utilized. After discussing the play of the Steelers' defense against the Bears, Alex and I then do the same when it comes to Pittsburgh's offense. We talk a lot about how QB Mason Rudolph played overall and his inability to effectively push the football down the field through the air. We discuss Rudolph's intended air yard average as well as his completed air yard average. We also talk about how poorly Rudolph performed on Sunday when using play-action. While the Steelers' running game was effective enough against the Bears, it still wasnt enough to help the passing game portion of the offense. The offensive line, in our opinion, played well overall. We discuss the tight end output, the overall lack of yards after the catch on Sunday, and much more. The illegal formation penalty on the Steelers offense late in Sunday's game really disturbed Alex and me. We discuss how and why that shouldn't have happened and how a timeout should have been called to avoid the penalty. Special teams certainly played a role in Sunday's loss, so Alex and I make sure to hit on what went wrong in that phase of the game at Soldier Field. We make sure to discuss a few in-game decisions made by Steelers HC Mike Tomlin throughout this show as well. The Steelers are really just a mid team this year and that's been known for several weeks now. We discuss how hard it will be for the 2025 Steelers to not only win the AFC North division at this point but merely make the playoffs as well. This 107-minute episode also discusses several other minor topics not noted and we wrap things up by answering several emails we received from listeners. steelersdepot.com Learn more about your ad choices.

On the Monday episode of the North Shore Drive podcast, presented by FanDuel and Edgar Snyder & Associates, Post-Gazette Steelers insiders Christopher Carter and Ray Fittipaldo sort through the NFL Week 12 loss to the Chicago Bears. Why did coach Mike Tomlin seemingly abandon the two-high safety looks that had worked for his defense in recent weeks? What were the "schematic issues" that linebacker Patrick Queen blamed the loss on after the game? And how can Tomlin and DC Teryl Austin get this expensive unit led by T.J. Watt, Cam Heyward, Jalen Ramsey, Kyle Dugger, Payton Wilson and others back on track yet again. Our duo tackles those questions, plus backup QB Mason Rudolph's performance in place of injured starter Aaron Rodgers. How did Rudolph show why the No. 2 role is what he deserves? Will Rodgers be able to start next week after not dressing Sunday? And how can either QB get more out of pass catchers including DK Metcalf, Pat Freiermuth, Calvin Austin III, Roman Wilson, Jonnu Smith and Darnell Washington?

The Ravens are now in first place in the AFC North. Trai Essex blamed Arthur Smith from getting away from the run in the third quarter. Joe thought they would have won if they kept going back to the run game. We hear from Steelers fans. Trai Essex said the game wasn't on Rudolph but coaching.

Mike Tomlin said that Mason Rudolph went out and made plays for the Steelers yesterday. How do Poni and Mueller assess his performance? They were more critical than Coach T. The guys discuss DK Metcalf's lack of ability to bring in 50-50 balls. Mason Rudolph said he found out he was starting on Saturday, but Jonnu Smith said that he didn't find out that Rudolph was starting until right before the game.

Was Aaron Rodgers actually close to being ready for yesterday's game? More calls. PIT-CHI Game Balls.
Another loss in Chicago as the Bears beat the Steelers, 31-28. We dove right into what went wrong at Soldier Field. Chris said Mike Tomlin showed yet again a gutless philosophy that kills them in these games. He went with Mason Rudolph over Aaron Rodgers, who sat out due to the wrist injury. Was that the right decision? We yet again saw an offense that was afraid to throw the football over the middle of the field – against a very shorthanded defense. It was another example of the Steelers being painfully average.

Were Jaylen Warren and Kenneth Gainwell effective again in the running game? How much pressure did Cam Heyward, Nick Herbig, T.J. Watt and the Steelers' pass rushers generate on Bears QB Caleb Williams? And to what extent were Jalen Ramsey, Joey Porter Jr., James Pierre, Darius Slay and the secondary able to keep names like Rome Odunze, D.J. Moore and Colston Loveland in check?

On the Friday episode of the North Shore Drive podcast, presented by FanDuel and Edgar Snyder & Associates, host Adam Bittner welcomes Post-Gazette sports columnist Paul Zeise to discuss the surprising popularity of Steelers backup QBs Will Howard and Mason Rudolph. Why are some fans so eager to see both with future Hall of Famer Aaron Rodgers in place as the starter? Is there any world where Howard, a rookie, is ready for meaningful NFL snaps if Rodgers can't play in NFL Week 12 because of his injury? What is his upside at the NFL level? And why have some fans moved on so quickly from Rudolph's struggles that they lamented early in his career as the backup to Ben Roethlisberger? Our duo tackles those questions, plus some AFC North topics. Will Steelers fans regret the team not taking Shedeur Sanders in the NFL draft if he thrives in his first start for the Browns? Are the Bengals a bad team even if Joe Burrow is able to return at some point this season? And are Lamar Jackson, Derrick Henry and the Ravens really as dangerous to the Steelers in division race as some perceive them to be? Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

The defense stepped up big against the Bengals, accounting for 14 points of the team's 34-12 routing of the Bengals. But how costly was the win? Aaron Rodgers now has a fracture in his left wrist, leaving his status for the upcoming game against Chicago up in the air. Can Rudolph lead this team to victory as the Thanksgiving holiday draws near? Join your hosts Jeremy Kohlman and Wil Masisak, including special co-host and Bears fan Mark Sheppard, as they take a special look into the matchup in Chicago, a city where historically the Steelers have struggled.
Welcome to Steelers Morning Rush, our new daily short-form podcast with Alan Saunders, giving a longer perspective on a single news topic surrounding the Pittsburgh Steelers or the National Football League. Today, it's the narratives surrounding the recent performance of quarterback Aaron Rodgers. Rodgers wasn't great before leaving last week's win over the Cincinnati Bengals at halftime, but he wasn't as bad as he had been the previous week, either. Back up Mason Rudolph only slightly performed better, and most of that was do to his receivers running after the catch. Is there really a lot that Rodgers could be learning from Rudolph if he is unable to play against the Chicago Bears this Sunday? Alan breaks it down. Learn more about your ad choices.

Mike Tomlin spoke moments before the guys took the air and said that "we will see how it goes" when it comes to Aaron Rodgers' health for the game against the Chicago Bears on Sunday. Rodgers is still listed as 'questionable'. Who will start on Sunday: Rodgers or Mason Rudolph? Both Poni and Mueller say that they think Rodgers will play.
RJ bell, Steve Fezzik and Mackenzie Rivers talk NFL betting for Week 12. Best bets as always. In this Week 12 NFL betting podcast, RJ Bell, Steve Fezzik, and Mackenzie Rivers break down matchups, trends, props, and power ratings while debating quarterback value, team motivation, weather effects, and market movement. RJ opens by promoting a 90-day all-access package and highlighting recent hot handicappers. Fezzik's best bet is Raiders team total over 19.5, citing Cleveland's historically poor road-defense scoring prevention and likely short-field opportunities created by rookie QB Sanders' turnover risk. RJ and Mackenzie evaluate low totals, weather, and historical under trends but agree the Raiders angle is stronger than the full-game over. RJ's best bet is Colts +3.5 vs Kansas City, arguing the teams are essentially equal in yards per play, success rate, and win-probability metrics, with KC overrated due to legacy bias and declining defensive performance. Fezzik adds Colts to score first at plus money due to coin-toss tendencies. Mackenzie's best bet is Lions -10 over the Giants, supported by Dan Campbell's elite ATS record off a loss, the Giants' league-worst run defense, and favorable matchups for Detroit's run game. Fezzik adds Lions team total over 30.5 and an SGP on Gibbs and Montgomery rushing overs. RJ also bets Falcons +2 vs the Saints, believing market overreacted to Kirk Cousins' injury perception and that Atlanta's roster, motivation, and power ratings remain stronger than New Orleans', which may be slipping into tank mode. Later, Fezzik plays Chase Brown under 60.5 rush yards due to expected shotgun-heavy Bengals offense with Burrow limited by turf toe and a strong Patriots run defense. The crew discusses Chicago-Pittsburgh, with RJ making his play contingent: if Rodgers starts, he likes the Bears; if Rudolph starts, he likes the over. They examine Jets-Ravens, Seahawks-Titans, Vikings-Packers, Jaguars-Cardinals, Raiders-Browns, Cowboys-Eagles, Rams-Buccaneers, and broader power-rating tiers, highlighting turnover luck, declining offenses, evolving defenses, team fatigue, coaching signals, and motivational windows. They close by summarizing all official picks and reinforcing that several favorites may be inflated while injured QBs, travel spots, and disguised regression points create value on selected dogs, overs, and player props.

Guy Junker chimes in on who he thinks would be the better option for the Steelers to start at quarterback this week between Rodgers or Rudolph.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
The Bills and Texans kick off Week 12 of the NFL season tonight – 2 teams that were projected to win their division in the AFC. In fact, none of the preseason favorites to win their division are currently leading in the AFC. Is the AFC there for the taking? Poni doesn't think any of the typical conference powers are as scary this season. There's a real chance the Chiefs miss the playoffs completely. The guys think Mike Tomlin would be comfortable playing any team in the AFC right now. Steelers insider Ray Fittipaldo from the PG joined the show. Ray said it's a ‘better than 50% chance' that Aaron Rodgers plays on Sunday. The guys asked Ray if Rodgers would be pushing to play if they weren't in Chicago this weekend. How much of a gap exists between Rodgers and Mason Rudolph right now? Ray said Rudolph has been ‘money' since that rough patch he hit in his second season back in 2019. Ray thinks there is a realistic chance Rudolph is the Week 1 starter in 2026. Ray said the coaches are really confident in James Pierre after his last few games, so the leash on Darius Slay won't be too long, assuming he gets the start. Is Jonnu Smith getting more snaps because he's a favorite of Arthur Smith? Ray thinks Roman Wilson is slowly gaining the trust of Rodgers and the coaching staff. Ray wouldn't be stunned if Kenneth Gainwell gets more touches than Jaylen Warren on Sunday. How does Ray think the Steelers stack up with the rest of the AFC right now? Ray has a feeling the Steelers win. Total Request Thursday.
Poni had a question for everyone to start today's show – where did the Mason Rudolph love come from? How much of the heavy lifting does the end of the 2023 season do? Chris said people love a comeback story going back to biblical days. Did he get a raw deal? People haven't seen him play bad football in Pittsburgh for a little while.

Chris said people love a comeback story going back to biblical days. Did he get a raw deal? People haven't seen him play bad football in Pittsburgh for a little while. Where does the love for Mason Rudolph come from? One caller, missing the point, wondered why the guys were ‘praising' Duck Hodges in 2019. Pirates/Penguins reporter Jason Mackey from the PG joined the show. Jason confirmed that the Pirates did offer Josh Naylor a contract, but doesn't think Naylor was close to leaving Seattle. Jason thinks they will spend some money this off-season, but players like Naylor and Kyle Schwarber are probably too rich. Jason questioned why a free agent worth $30M/year would come to Pittsburgh. Jason believes it's ‘very possible' that Konnor Griffin begins the 2026 season on the Pirates roster as their starting shortstop. Jason thinks the Pirates payroll will be right around $100M, but doubts it gets any higher than that. Jason thinks Eugenio Suarez could be the big move of the off-season, coming off a 49 HR season.
November 19, 2025 - Season 16, Episode 52 of The Terrible Podcast is now in the can. In this Wednesday morning episode, Alex Kozora and I get right into talking about the Pittsburgh Steelers making a few transactions since our last show with one of those being the signing of QB/WR John Rhys Plumlee back to the practice squad on Tuesday. We talk about why Plumlee was likely added to the practice squad in addition to discussing why five other players were brough in for tryouts on Tuesday. Alex and I then go over the list of injured players the Steelers have heading into Week 12 with QB Aaron Rodgers obviously being our main focus due to a fracture of some kind in his left wrist. We discuss what all HC Mike Tomlin had to say on Tuesday about Rodgers possibly playing on Sunday against the Chicago Bears and whether our gut feelings tell us when it comes to that possibly happening. Should the Steelers strongly consider starting QB Mason Rudolph against the Bears regardless of what transpires this week with Rodgers? Alex and I attack that question in this show and also talk about the possibility of Rodgers being the backup on Sunday against the Bears. We also talk a little about rookie QB Will Howard possibly getting a few first-team reps this week with Rodgers slowed by injury. As usual, Alex and I parse all of the notable talking points that came out of Tomlin Tuesday. We discuss what Tomlin had to say about playing time on Sunday for CB Darius Slay and CB James Pierre and if indeed the former will wind up resuming as the starter against the Bears if he clears concussion protocol this week. We discuss what playing time on Sunday might and should look like on Sunday against the Bears when it comes to both Slay and Pierre. Tomlin talked some about TE Darnell Washington and his usage in the offense on Tuesday, so we make sure to dive a bit deeper into those comments. We also talk about what Tomlin had to say about the reaction S Jalen Ramsey had to Cincinnati Bengals WR Ja'Marr Chase spitting on him in the second half of the Week 11 Sunday game at Acrisure Stadium. With Chase having his one-game suspension upheld on Tuesday as part of his appeal process, Alex and I address what should happen to every player that spits on another player during a game and how the NFL needs to take a more defined punishment stance moving forward. With the All-22 tape from the Steelers' Sunday home win against the Bengals now fully digested by us, Alex and I discuss the good, bad and ugly that we uncovered from that. We start with the defense and go over how that unit effectively did against the pass on Sunday and the changes that we have seen schematically the last several weeks with Ramsey and Kyle Dugger now manning the two safety positions. We also discuss the three outside linebacker packages the Steelers used on Sunday against the Bengals and how effective that was. After talking about the defensive play on Sunday, Alex and I move on to talk some about what we saw from the Steelers offense on the all-22 tape from the game against the Bengals. We were both less enthused when it came to that side of the football and we explain why. We also wonder if Rudolph might try to push the football down the field more on Sunday against the Bears should he indeed get the start in that contest over the injured Rodgers. Alex and I mix in quite a few tape observations during this show and we make sure to discuss the recent play of several different players as well. Alex previews a tape study that he is working on when it comes to Steelers DT Keeanu Benton as well. This 110-minute episode also discusses several other minor topics not noted and we wrap things up by answering several emails we received from listeners. steelersdepot.com Learn more about your ad choices.

Hey y'all — welcome back to Design for the Creative Mind. I'm Michelle Lynn, and today we're kicking off a brand-new season called Myth Busting: What People Get Wrong About the Interior Design Industry. And even though I sound like an 80-year-old chain smoker mixed with Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer (thanks, Texas allergies), I wasn't about to miss this episode because we're starting with a big one. There's a myth so many designers unknowingly build their entire business around: "I can figure this out through trial and error." And I get it — because that's exactly how I built my business in the early years. But here's the truth: trial and error is the slowest, most expensive, most exhausting "strategy" you could possibly choose. If you've ever felt like every project is a guess, every client pushes a different boundary, and every new inquiry sends you into a scramble… you're not imagining it. That's what running a business on guesswork creates. In this episode, I walk you through what trial and error really costs you — not just in money, but in confidence, clarity, and peace. I talk about how emotional pricing drains your profit, how weak or inconsistent boundaries drain your sanity, and why every project feels urgent when you don't have systems. I also share the moment everything shifted for me and how structure completely changed my business, my margins, my client relationships, and honestly, my life. What You'll Learn in This Episode: • Why trial and error keeps your business in survival mode instead of CEO mode • How emotional pricing, inconsistent processes, and unclear boundaries erode profit and confidence • What clients actually pay for (hint: leadership, not guesswork) • Why systems create clarity, trust, calm communication, and predictable profit • How structure protects your creativity and gives you back your time, energy, and peace • What becomes possible when you finally stop guessing and start leading with intention • Why I created the Interior Design Business Bakery and how it fills the gaps designers have been left to figure out alone If you've been hustling, guessing, Googling, patching together templates, and hoping the next project finally "clicks," this episode is going to feel like a deep exhale. You don't need more trial and error — you need clarity, systems, structure, and support. And you absolutely deserve them. I'm linking everything I mentioned — including the Interior Design Business Bakery — in the show notes. If this conversation hits you in the gut, if you're tired of feeling behind, or if you're craving a business that finally reflects your talent, this is your invitation. It's time to retire the trial-and-error era of your business and step fully into your CEO seat. Until next week — stay creative, stay confident, and stay in your CEO seat.
