It’ll Always Be Fun with Brooke and Miranda

There is absolutely no wisdom in this episode. No life application. Just pure Christmas chaos. We ask Chad the questions no one should ever ask about Christmas songs—like what’s actually happening with Rudolph, how Frosty came to life (and why no one questioned it), what “Silent Night” even means if everyone is singing, how The Twelve Days of Christmas makes any financial sense at all, and more! Logic is applied where it does not belong. Christmas classics are overanalyzed for no reason. Laughing is unavoidable. If you need a break from deep thoughts and just want something ridiculous and fun, this episode is your permission to turn your brain off and enjoy the nonsense. 🎄🎶 Zero wisdom. Maximum fun.

Hope doesn’t always arrive with fireworks or instant answers. Sometimes it comes softly—almost unnoticed—while we’re still sitting in the dark. In this Monday Minute, we reflect on Isaiah’s promise that light shines even when the way forward feels unclear. If you’ve been waiting, weary, or wondering where God is at work, this short encouragement is a reminder that His hope is steady, faithful, and often closer than we realize. A quiet word for a heavy heart—hope is coming, even if it whispers. If you want a slightly more Christmas-leaning version or something even shorter/snappier, I can tweak it in seconds ✨

In week three of our Christmas series, Brooke and Miranda pause to reflect on Mary — a humble servant whose strength was anything but loud. We talk about the kind of courage it takes to say “yes” when the future is uncertain, the strength required to carry a calling no one else can fully understand, and the beauty of trusting God in quiet, unseen ways. When angels appeared to the shepherds, the good news was proclaimed loudly for all to hear. But when the angel came to Mary, the message was personal — just for her. Scripture tells us she treasured these things in her heart, holding them close in faith long before the world would understand. This episode is an invitation to honor the holy moments God gives us privately — the whispers, the quiet obedience, the unseen strength — and to remember that faith doesn’t always shout. Sometimes, it simply stands firm.

In this week’s Christmas-themed Monday Minute, Brooke reflects on Isaiah 9:2 — “The people walking in darkness have seen a great light.” The Christmas story reminds us that hope didn’t burst onto the scene all at once. It arrived quietly — in waiting, in darkness, in the ordinary — and changed everything. If this season feels heavy or slow, this minute is for you. God’s light often comes the same way it did that first Christmas: gently, faithfully, and right on time. Even when it feels like nothing is happening, hope is already on its way. Pause for a moment, breathe deep, and remember: The light has come — and it’s still coming.

Christmas Series | Week 2: Traditions, Tinsel & Letting Go In week two of our Christmas series, Brooke and Miranda unwrap the world of holiday traditions — the ones we treasure, the ones we’ve outgrown, and the ones we’ve released with grace. From childhood memories to new rhythms, we talk about how traditions shape us… and how sometimes, without meaning to, we let them hold too much weight. This episode is an invitation to breathe, reassess, and remember that Christmas was never meant to be carried on the back of expectations or perfectly preserved rituals. When traditions start to feel like pressure — or even become an idol — we risk losing sight of the One who came to bring us peace, not performance. So grab your cocoa, hold the traditions you love with open hands, and join us as we rediscover the true heart of Christmas: Emmanuel — God with us.
