Christmas can feel especially heavy after the death of a child.

Their stories offer permission to do things differently, encouragement to take the season one moment at a time, and gentle ideas for honoring a child's memory while holding space for grief.You'll hear about:Giving yourself grace and lowering expectationsAccepting help and having an exit planLetting Christmas look different than it used toFinding meaningful ways to remember and include your childAllowing grief and joy to coexistAnchoring your heart in the hope of Immanuel—God with usThere is no right way to do Christmas after loss.

Hey everybody! Episode 178 of the show is out. In this episode, I spoke with Thomas Hatsis. Thomas' books were recommended to me a few times and he was introduced to me through a mutual friend, Peter Boghossian. Thomas wrote two very good books that I am familiar with (as well as a number of others) called The Witches Ointment and Psychedelic Mystery Traditions. We spoke about these themes including the foundation of Western mystery traditions, their potential entheogenic roots, plant medicines, magic, witches, and a lot of other really interesting topics. Thomas is doing very good work and I trust you all will gain a lot from his wisdom.

Thank you to Kleenex for sponsoring this special episode of The Nikki & Brie Show! The twins are fully leaning into holiday mode. With cozy mugs in hand, they're putting family traditions front and center. This episode is a love letter to the little moments that make the holidays special, from sipping hot cocoa to prepping for their legendary Drummer Boy Dinner. A tradition started by their grandfather, this meaningful family gathering brings everyone together to dress up, feel grown, and listen to Bing Crosby's “Little Drummer Boy”—and now, the next generation is keeping it alive. Between debating comfy vs. cute outfits, unboxing décor, and planning the kids' table, it's peak holiday chaos in the best way.The twins also dive into Christmas wish lists (for kids and adults), Santa logistics, and the very serious question of how many Santas actually exist. From Matteo asking to ride the Goodyear Blimp, to Birdie and Buddy requesting a baby brother, to elves with full-blown personalities and wardrobes they regret buying—it's funny, heartfelt, and wildly relatable. They even swap holiday traditions from around the world, sparking new ideas for future family dinners.And because life doesn't slow down for the holidays, Nikki and Brie catch up on Monday Night RAW, NFL suite life, holiday travel, and juggling it all with grace (and tissues nearby). It's a warm, laugh-out-loud episode about family, gratitude, traditions, and giving yourself a little grace this season. Grab your coziest blanket, pour something festive, and press play—you'll feel right at home. Call Nikki & Brie at 833-GARCIA2 and leave a voicemail!

When the Christmas season begins to feel overwhelming, it is easy to get swept up in the pace and forget the purpose. In this episode, Costi Hinn reminds us that the heart of Christmas is found in the story of Christ, not simply in the traditions or activities that fill our calendars.

Scott kicks off the holiday season with laughs, chaos, and nostalgia as Christmas approaches. With just 10 days to go, Scott dives into the family traditions that make the holidays memorable — from Uncle Andy's shifty (or glass!) eye to Grandma Dot's imaginary dog, and Cousin Freddy and his forever fiancée causing awkward chaos at the dinner table. We hear about the arrival debates, eating arrangements, and the annual gift-giving rituals that are equal parts hilarious and stressful — including the infamous Mini-Santa handing out presents from garbage bags with Tupperware bottoms. Through it all, Scott shares funny, heartfelt, and chaotic stories, reflecting on the moments that frustrated him at the time but now bring laughter and nostalgia. Plus, the show features three original songs — from the playful Save Me a Chair to the sentimental Old Wrapping Paper — that capture the spirit of family, tradition, and holiday memories. Whether you're reliving your own family madness or just enjoying a laugh (or two… but never more than three), this episode is a perfect mix of humor, heart, and holiday chaos.

She is the author of The Other Goddess: Mary Magdalene and the Goddesses of Eros and Secret Knowledge, and Alien Goddess: UFOs and the Goddesses of Ascension. Her website is https://www.joannakujawa.com/ Joanna explores the connection between UFO and UAP encounters and ancient esoteric goddess traditions, emphasizing how interdimensional beings may guide human spiritual evolution. She discusses her own lifelong liinal experiences alongside global apparitions such as Fatima, linking them to higher states of consciousness and Gnostic teachings. Kujawa also warns against ideological dangers surrounding AI, suggesting humanity must discern authentic inner ascension from deceptive technological “false light.” New Thinking Allowed host, Jeffrey Mishlove, PhD, is author of The Roots of Consciousness, Psi Development Systems, and The PK Man.

Episode Description Episode Description Sign up to receive this Unreached of the Day podcast sent to you: https://joshuaproject.net/people_groups/16692/IN Dear Friend, The Batak people of North Sumatra didn't have a written language until 1834. Today, they're one of the largest Christian populations in Indonesia, with over 6 million believers. The transformation happened because someone, a German missionary named Ludwig Nommensen, decided their spiritual poverty was unacceptable. That was 190 years ago. Today, 4,473 people groups are still waiting for their Ludwig Nommensen moment. The People Group Adoption Program launches today, and here's how it works: It meets you where you are. You're not being asked to become a missionary in the field (though if God calls you to that, we'll cheer you on). You're being invited to use your current gifts, prayer, advocacy, networking, research to support those who are already called to go.

NOTE: This episode contains references to Christmas Magic that you may not want your children to hear!In this honest and often hilarious Christmas bonus conversation, Steph sits down with psychotherapist Emma Reed Turrell to talk about the emotional, logistical and often invisible labour of Christmas; especially for women. From managing everyone's expectations to trying to manufacture magical memories, from teenage eye-rolls to “it's not that deep, Mum,” the pair unravel the layered reality behind creating a holiday that feels good for everyone but you.Emma offers sharp insight into why December feels like it shrinks every year, why the list keeps getting longer and how social media quietly fuels our “shoulds.” They discuss the pressure to keep traditions alive, the moments that actually matter, and the quiet grief and shifting dynamics that shape Christmas behind the scenes.Whether you're overwhelmed, exhausted, sentimental, or simply curious about how to make Christmas feel more human, this episode will land with warmth, compassion and a welcome dose of realism.Emma Reed Turrell grew up near Portsmouth and went on to read English at Queens' College, Cambridge. Following ten years working in business, she returned to her earlier passion for psychology and retrained as a psychotherapist.Get a copy of Emma's book, What Am I Missing here.Listen to Emma's podcast, Dial Emma, here.For thoughtful gifts, for Christmas or any time of year, please have a look at dontbuyherflowers.comFollow Steph on Instagram.

Vases crafted thousands of years ago, temples built by past civilisations, natural parks with stunning waterfalls. These are all tangible things, there is a physical trace of them and many times they are protected and valued. But what about festivals, recipes or dances and skills that are unique to a certain part of the world? These cannot be stored, really. However they are passed on, become part of many people's identities and are known as intangible cultural heritage. UNESCO, the United Nations agency that focuses on culture and education has released its yearly list recognising these practices. But what does it actually mean to be included and why is it celebrated? We hear from Matthieu Guevel, Chief of Communications at UNESCO.Plus we talk to three people whose cultural practices have been added to the list this year: Paola Maggiulli a British-Italian cook, Lika Kat, a content creator from Kyrgyzstan and Zahra Hankir, a Lebanese author and journalist.Instagram: @bbcwhatintheworld Email: whatintheworld@bbc.co.uk WhatsApp: +44 0330 12 33 22 6 Presenter: Chelsea Coates Producers: Maria Clara Montoya and Benita Barden Editor: Verity Wilde

In this episode of The Great Plains Archaeology Podcast, Carlton sits down with Michael Page of the Wyoming State Archaeologist's Office to explore a lesser-known side of Wyoming archaeology, its rich and varied ceramic traditions. While Wyoming is often defined by its iconic Paleoindian kill sites, Michael's work reminds us that the region's history is far more diverse than the stone tools and bison jumps that dominate public imagination.This episode highlights the vital role of ceramic research in understanding the Northwest Plains and offers a fresh perspective on Wyoming's deep human history.TranscriptsFor rough transcripts of this episode go to https://www.archaeologypodcastnetwork.com/great-plains-archaeology/33LinksThe Wyoming Pottery ProjectThe Archaeology of the North American Great Plains by Douglas B.

Having the little ones decorate the ornaments. (28:15) Pat - A couple traditions....the Rosary. Been doing it since 2008.

How do I know if it's something I like to do or share with my family? Example the Liturgy of the Hours. (39:16) Break 2 Angel - My mother after Thanksgiving...everything stopped and there was no partying until Christmas. Everything was cleaned during that time and then brought the tree in Christmas Eve. Acted like a new baby was coming into the house. We don't celebrate until late Christmas Eve. What are times when traditions need to be curtailed?
