Christmas is full of lights, lists, and traditions — buthow do we keep our children focused on the real meaning of the season? Today, I'm joined by Pastor Grant Castleberry who serves as pastor at The King's Chapel in Raleigh, NC. He  and his wife GraceAnna are authors, creators, and parents of five — whose mission is to help families reclaim the heart of Christmas. Together they've created a powerful new resource designed to anchor the season in the story of Jesus.In this episode, we talk about how to guide our childrentoward a Christ-centered understanding of Christmas — not just through words, but through intentional family traditions. From daily Scripture rhythms tosimple practices that point little hearts to the manger, we explore practical ways parents can make Jesus the focus of December. The Castleberrys share how their own family traditions were reshaped by their desire to keep Christ at the center — and how every family, regardless of where they're starting, can do the same.We also dive into their new project, “Manger inDanger,” a creative and meaningful alternative to Elf on the Shelf. Packed with Scripture-based devotionals and rooted in the true Christmas story, it offers families a month-long adventure that brings children back to the wonder of Jesus' birth — not the distractions that often crowd Him out.Please Support this Podcast:https://mypillow.com  Promo Code: ROSEhttps://patriotmobile.com/partners/rosewww.americansforprosperity.orghttps://wordmarketingservices.com/Rose's Ministry: www.sheiscalledbyhim.com

Released in 2009, the film was written by Raimi alongside his brother Ivan Raimi and stars Alison Lohman, Justin Long, Lorna Raver, Dileep Rao, David Paymer, and Adriana Barraza. We discuss the obvious class divides and their effect on characters, housing, and the consequences of being a class traitor. Something which we all would like to see more of off screen.

Billie joins us representing Change For Tottenham, discussing a fan-led movement to revive the home atmosphere at Spurs. Working alongside Return of the Shelf and THFCFlags, supporters are pushing for a unified singing section, better engagement from the club, and a stadium experience that reflects the passion of Tottenham Hotspur fans. From European away days with flags travelling alongside the team, to the legacy of the 1882 movement and grassroots mobilisation, we explore why the atmosphere has dipped, how ticket prices affect younger fans, and the massive opportunity presented by the Chelsea match. This is a movement built on unity, noise, and supporters taking the lead to restore Tottenham's identity at home. Come on you Spurs. Learn more about your ad choices.

At Calista's club, Icepick has the upper hand. He's told Callista to call off the transfer of her assets to the drug-dealing goblin Dante Oganov. One of those assets is the contract that keeps Lincoln's son, Sam, trapped on the Shelf. If Icepick kills Dante, it's game over—Callista keeps the contract, and Sam remains in this violent purgatory forever. Trying to find a way to win, Lincoln challenged Icepick to a duel to the death. Despite his injuries, Lincoln won that violent duel, breaking Icepick's arm before putting him down with an armored knee to the balls. That should have been all she wrote, but Icepick—hurt and barely conscious—called for help from his killer diamortuga. With Billy and Dante restrained by magic-suppressing cables, Lincoln is on his own. Can he survive an attack from a two-ton, man-eating turtle?
