As the year comes to a close, we slow down to reflect, remember, and look ahead. This episode blends honest end-of-year conversation with some classic Conspiracy Corner with Jordan before turning toward deeper reflection on what this past season has shaped in us.

We talk about the words that defined our year—why some seasons feel tragically beautiful—and the word we’re carrying into the new year: perseverance. Drawing from Scripture, we reflect on the power of remembering how God has led us, why it matters that we remember well, and how God’s faithfulness remains steady through every season.

This episode is about gratitude for where we’ve been, clarity about what we’ve learned, and hope for what’s coming next.

As we get older, Christmas changes—and so do we. In this episode, we talk about what it means to both grow up and grow into Christmas: how the season shifts from childhood excitement to something deeper, more reflective, and sometimes more complicated. We kick things off with a Christmas outfit “Make Me Laugh” segment and then dive into the questions that shape how we experience the holiday now.

We explore which Christmas characters we relate to, how our view of the season has matured, and what we’ve learned this year that affects the way we’ll approach Christmas. We even wrestle with what celebrating Jesus’ birth might look like if He were physically here today—and what “peace on earth, goodwill to men” actually means in a divided world.

It’s fun, honest, and full of the kind of conversation that helps us rediscover why Christmas still matters.

In this episode, we talk about gratitude in a way that actually feels real. Not the cheesy holiday version—real, everyday gratitude that wrestles with pain, faith, frustration, and hope. We walk through questions about how thankfulness shapes our relationship with God, how it forms our character, and why Scripture calls us to “give thanks in all circumstances.” We also get practical about habits that help us live with a grateful heart.

If you’ve ever struggled to stay thankful in real life, this conversation is for you.
