Warning: This episode contains an alarming amount of chat about a mysterious stranger called Derek and more casual mentions of “minge” in the first four minutes than any of us could ever have anticipated. It is funny, honest, slightly feral… and absolutely not one for the school run. Best enjoyed with headphones on and children safely out of earshot.So, you've just started your sober journey? Doing Dry January? Or quietly wondering what life might look like without booze? This episode is your brutally honest, slightly emotional roadmap through your first 30 days alcohol-free.Vic and Hamish take you through sobriety week by week, honestly unpacking what really happens to your body, brain, sleep, mood, social life, trousers, and overall sanity as alcohol slowly leaves the stage. Alongside plenty of science, swearing, and questionable oversharing, there are also genuinely tender moments where you might realise… you are actually doing this. Today we explore those early sugar cravings and wobbles, the sudden bursts of confidence that can catch you out, the strange emotional storms that roll in around Week Two, the clearer thinking and calmer days that begin to appear in Week Three, and that brilliant Week Four moment when you look at yourself and think, “Hang on… this might actually work.If you are five days in, swaying at day twelve, feeling uncertain at day twenty, or simply curious about how sobriety unfolds in real life, this episode gives you reassurance, humour, relatable stories, and genuinely helpful tools to get through it.You are not broken, you are healing. And honestly, you are doing something extraordinary.Press play, take a breath… and welcome to the awkward, hopeful, quietly life-changing first month of sober life.

O Holy Night | Pastor Jeremy Isaacs | Week Two by Generations Church
No matter who you are, what you've lived through, or where you've come from, the story of how God relentlessly pursues us has the power to change our lives. He chose to come down to our messy, broken world, to prove His great love. Rather than us reaching up to heaven, heaven came down to earth. --- In the good and the bad, the mountains and the valleys, God is with you. Tune in to Week Two of God With Us as Pastor Skyler touches on how even when we feel all alone, God is with us, and He gives us hope.

Connecting People to Christ and One Another Through Missional Living.
In this week's message, Pastor Randy shows us that hope doesn't tiptoe into our lives — it breaks in right when we're convinced nothing's changing. Week Two confronts the fears that keep us stuck and shines a spotlight on the God who steps into the coldest, heaviest moments with power, clarity, and purpose. If you've been asking, “God, do You still see me?” — this message is your answer.

Advent is a good time to slow down a little, and St. Joseph the Workman shows us what it looks like to stay steady and trust God in the middle of everyday life.In Week Two of A Quiet Light, we focus on St. Joseph the Workman and pray with Matthew 11:28–30—Jesus' reminder that we don't have to carry everything alone. Joseph lived this in a very real way. The word we're sitting with this week? ✨ Rest. The kind of rest that comes from putting things back in God's hands.Our invitation this week is simple: let your daily work become a place to talk to God. Whether you're doing chores, driving, or checking things off your list, bring Him into it. Let Him lighten the load.Don't miss the Cutting Room Floor at the end for some extra stories and moments we couldn't fit into the episode.

This Advent sermon focuses on the theme of peace, illustrated as a "two-sided coin". The first side is "peace with God," established through the birth of Jesus and salvation. The second side is the "peace of God," which requires believers to trust God rather than leaning on their own understanding. The speaker emphasizes that biblical peace is not the absence of conflict, but rather the presence of God amidst life's struggles. The message concludes by inviting listeners to find this peace through prayer and faith. Lifelong Learning Code: 80890 Click here to learn about Lifelong Learning.

ADVENT 2025_week two by EastLake Tri-Cities
The Christmas story is much bigger than our personal traditions and celebrations. Matthew included the wise men in his Gospel not because they were present at Jesus' birth, but to show that this story extends beyond any single community or culture. These foreign kings represent everyone outside our normal circles who long to know God. The birth of Jesus wasn't just for the Jewish people - it was good news for the entire world. This Christmas, we're challenged to look beyond our usual story and include others who need to know there's a Christmas story for them, too.

This week, Cameo talks about how Advent peace is not the absence of struggle but the presence of God with us in every circumstance, as seen through Psalm 23's picture of a shepherd who personally guides, protects, and sustains his people. True peace comes from leaning wholly on God, not escaping the dark valleys but experiencing His nearness within them. In Jesus, the Good Shepherd who entered the deepest valley and rose again, we receive both the promise of God's present companionship and the future fullness of peace when all things are restored.Support the show

The Birth of a King: The King's Earthy Father - Week Two Isaiah 7:10-14, Matthew 1:18-23 Pastor Christopher Ek This Sunday, we step into Joseph's upheaval in Matthew 1, where God forms a courageous heart in the middle of a crisis. We'll see why Matthew calls. Joseph "righteous," and how a different kind of King enters our world through mercy, not power. As we come to the communion table, we'll remember that the same King still meets us with grace in our own moments of uncertainty. www.bethanycovenant.com
Part 2 of a 4-week Advent series released every Sunday.Life doesn't slow down during the holidays just because you want it to.
