LifeStance therapist Jordan Parmenter joins us to unpack the cultural moment that is Spotify Wrapped. We explore what this end-of-year tradition reveals about our listening habits, why it resonates so strongly, and how it can offer both emotional validation and a sense of connection. Jordan shares his own experiences with Spotify Wrapped—highlighting the joy, surprises, and occasional self-reflection it brings. The conversation also looks at the impact of social comparison and FOMO when people share their results online, and how these reactions can shape our sense of identity and belonging. The episode closes with a thoughtful reminder: embracing your own musical tastes—without embarrassment or competition—is a meaningful act of self-acceptance.

Our guest is Gavin Whitelaw https://rijs.fas.harvard.edu/gavin-h-whitelaw who is the Executive Director of Edwin O. Reischauer Institute of Japanese Studies at Harvard University. Gavin has spent over a decade living and teaching in Japan. Before joining the Reischauer Institute in 2016, he was the Senior Associate Professor of Anthropology and Japan Studies at International Christian University (ICU) in Tokyo for eight years. He has researched a wide range of topics, including Japanese contemporary commerce, work life, foodways and material culture. Gavin is here today to discuss Konbini, the Japanese-style convenience store, a subject on which he has done extensive research. Convenience stores were born in the U.S in the 1920s and were transplanted to Japan in the 1960s. Then its concept developed into something very different, which has become a necessary part of Japanese society overall. As of January 2025, there were 56,749 Konbini nationwide. In this episode, we will discuss the unique characteristics of Japanese-style convenience stores, what you can buy and experience at Konbini , Gavin's intriguing work experience at Konbini shops and what he discovered there, the possibilities of exporting Japanese Konbini abroad and much, much more!!!See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

In this week's Companion Podcast, Evan, Jon, and David unpack the opening message of our Christmas series, where Galen introduced the idea of “monster gratitude.” From childhood memories of vibrating football games and monster cookies to the spiritual discipline of praise, the team dives into why we open complaints more easily than we open gratitude — and why Scripture treats grumbling far more seriously than we often realize.They explore Galen's “gratitude recipe” and the ingredients that transform our inner life: appreciation, praise, thankfulness, contentment, and worship. Along the way, they discuss why praise disrupts negative spirals, why grumbling reveals our heart posture, and how gratitude helps us see the world the way God intends.Whether you're heading into a busy, noisy Christmas season or just need a reset for your soul, this conversation invites you to unwrap a childlike wonder and discover a life shaped by monster gratitude.

(1 Thessalonians 5:18) Unwrapping Christmas, Part 1 November 30, 2025 – Pastor Michael Nolen

This episode is personal — and powerful.A recent situation with a close family member brought up a wave of unexpected hurt and confusion right as the holidays approached.What I didn't know at the time was that this moment would become a living, breathing example of healthy conflict, emotional empowerment, and generational pattern-breaking.Most of us grew up believing that conflict is something to avoid, smooth over, fix, or fear.But healthy conflict isn't chaos — it's clarity.And this experience revealed how quickly we can slip into the Drama Triangle (Victim, Rescuer, Persecutor)…and how consciously we can shift into the Empowerment Dynamic (Creator, Coach, Challenger).In this episode, I walk you through:*The moment of rupture with a close family member*What victim, rescuing, and persecutor thoughts sounded like in real time*How I recognized the pull into old patterns*Why conflict is a necessary ingredient in healthy relationships*What it looks like to process hurt without assigning blame*How I shifted into Creator, Coach, and Challenger energy*The surprising gift I found inside the discomfort*Why the holidays don't cause our stress — they reveal it*How this conflict became an unexpected mirror of my own growthThis isn't about perfection or staying “zen.”It's about staying honest, grounded, and self-responsible when the old patterns tug at you hardest.If you're navigating family dynamics, emotional triggers, or unexpected tension during the holidays, this episode will give you a new lens — one rooted in empowerment instead of reactivity.Key Insight:Healthy conflict isn't about winning or fixing.It's about allowing the relationship to hold the truth of both people — without abandoning yourself in the process.Reflection QuestionWhat uncomfortable moment in your life might be revealing something deeper beneath the surface?Resources & Support:HOLIDAY BREAKTHROUGH SESSION: https://www.dianesorensen.net/call- Special pricing is good only through Dec. 31, 2025.

Unwrapping the Story is a call for our church to return to the foundation that leads us home…the Word of God. In this message, Pastor Blake teaches how Scripture is more than ancient text. It is the living voice of God, speaking into our everyday lives with power and direction. Through practical steps, personal stories, and clear biblical teaching, this message encourages you to open Scripture with both hunger and humility, knowing that you can't fall behind…you can only choose faithfulness today.

The first Sunday of Advent. This Sunday we look at Luke 1:26-38

It's the most wonderful, and overwhelming, time of the year. In this episode, we're sharing our unfiltered take on surviving the holidays with your sanity (and spirit) intact. From blow-up lawn decorations to curated gift wrap trends, we unpack the pressure we all feel to make the holidays "perfect," and how to reclaim the magic without losing your mind. If your traditions feel more stressful than sacred this year, this one's for you.    Organizations we love and support: Roof Above Room In The Inn Second Harvest Food Bank | 100% of the proceeds from our Thanksgiving Day classes go to Second Harvest Food Bank!   Some ways to stay sane during the holidays include: Let go of perfection. Traditions evolve! Make your own rules, whether it's gift bags or glitter bombs. Look for the magic. Even the smallest gestures can create warmth, wonder, and memories that matter. Make space for both joy and grief. The holidays can be hard. Honor your real experience and invite others into it. Keep caring for your body. Movement, meals, and mindfulness aren't extras… they're your anchor. Give what you can. Presence, kindness, and small acts of service are powerful gifts.

Christmas is one of the most magical seasons for families—but in the midst of the bustle of parties, presents, and Pinterest-perfect traditions, how do we ensure our children keep Christ at the center of it all? Catherine sits down with national TV host, actress, and best-selling author Megan Alexander to unwrap a timely question: How do Christian families actually keep Christ central during Christmas? Megan, who has been a familiar face on CBS’s Inside Edition for over two decades and the producer of UPTV’s “Small Town Christmas,” brings her unique insights in her newest book, The True Gifts of Christmas: Unwrapping the Meaning of Our Most Cherished Traditions. This beautiful Advent resource is designed to make celebrating the season both meaningful and manageable—especially for busy parents. Key highlights from the episode include: Reclaiming Christmas Traditions – Megan shares fascinating stories behind beloved customs, revealing their hidden spiritual roots—from the Christian symbolism of candy canes to legends like the poinsettia. Listeners will discover how stockings, Christmas trees, gingerbread cookies, and even bells can point children (and parents!) back to Jesus. Making Christmas Memorable & Manageable – The book isn’t just a devotional, it’s a coffee table conversation starter, filled with vibrant visuals and historical nuggets accessible to all ages. Catherine Segars notes, “It’s not a sermon… it’s an invitation to consider,” making it a perfect gift, even for those who might not identify as Christian but need a positive encounter with Christ. Practical Family Ideas – From flashlight candy cane hunts to placing candles near loved ones’ pictures, Megan shares creative, simple ways to anchor faith in everyday family traditions. Each activity is an opportunity to discuss the deeper meaning behind symbols and stories—turning ordinary moments into spiritual conversations. Honoring Hope and Hardship – The episode thoughtfully addresses the reality that Christmas is not always “roses.” Stories like that of Henry Wadsworth Longfellow and the tradition of bells remind listeners that even in grief or difficulty, the hope of the gospel and the presence of Christ remain steadfast. Notable quote:“You’ll never listen to bells the same. People are gathering; God is alive and well. There is hope in this world.” — Megan Alexander Listeners will walk away with: Fresh inspiration to slow down and celebrate Advent with their kids Easy ways to make faith tangible without adding stress to the holiday New eyes to see Christ woven through the fabric of their favorite traditions About the guest:Megan Alexander is a national TV correspondent, producer, and author. Her book, The True Gifts of Christmas: Unwrapping the Meaning of Our Most Cherished Traditions, is a heartfelt guide to making Advent meaningful for families. She is also a mom of three and an outspoken believer who brings decades of experience bridging faith and the mainstream entertainment industry. Call to Action:What tradition could you reclaim this Christmas to make Christ the focus? How can you use a simple story, object, or moment to share the reason for the season with your children? Tune in, unwrap these ideas, and start a new tradition that keeps Jesus at the heart of your family’s celebration!

Hosts Claire Deason and Nicole LeFave, joined by Littler Shareholder Charlotte Main, dive into the practical realities of the holiday season for employers and HR leaders.

TODAY'S TREASUREFor God so loved the world that He gave His only Son, that whoever believes in Him should not perish but have eternal life.John 3:16 ESVSend us a comment!Support the show

As the holidays approach, it's a great time to evaluate how you want to spend your time and energy. Do you want to be relaxed and peace-filled, or would you rather be frazzled and frantic? The choice is yours. People pleasing is a trait that may sound generous and kind, but often leads to resentment and frustration. Knowing how and why we tend to over-commit and people-please are important factors in reducing our stress and exhaustion, especially during the next few weeks. People-pleasing is a habit, and it takes time and determination to conquer. Once you master people-pleasing over the holidays, we hope you will continue the practice in your everyday life.The Bible says, "God loves a cheerful giver." This season, let's focus on what truly matters to us instead of getting caught up in our to-do lists or the expectations of others. Simplify your life, take a deep breath, and give with a cheerful heart. As much as we might not want to admit, the choice really is ours.

In this episode I join Charles Manson in Oxford, England to visit the Bodleian Library (Oxford University) where he is the specialist librarian for its Tibetan Collections. Charles leads us through the streets of Oxford to visit the old Bodleian Library, founded in 1602. Then we arrive at the Weston Library to explore its collection of Tibetan manuscripts. Charles guides us through gold lettered texts about Lamdre and expiation, describes the process of textual revelation known as “terma”, and shares a warning based on his own experiences of dark retreat. Charles explains the Tibetan doctrines of the afterlife while showing a rare copy of the Tibetan Book of the Dead, muses on Coleridge's advice for visiting a library, and reflects on why he believes converts to Tibetan Buddhism should attempt to learn the Tibetan language. Charles also details his working routine as a librarian and archivist, reflects on his own academic journey from SOAS to Harvard and Oxford, and considers the role his religious faith plays in his work with Tibetan texts. … Video version: https://www.guruviking.com/podcast/ep332-oxford-librarian-of-tibet-charles-manson Also available on Youtube, iTunes, & Spotify – search ‘Guru Viking Podcast'.
