Since 2019 we have traditionally aired a telling of the Biblical Christmas story. But this week, in our final episode of 2025, we're doing something a little different. Efforts by ICE and Border Patrol to crack down on illegal immigration have led some — like the police chief of Minneapolis — to opine that Joseph and Mary and baby Jesus were refugees. Therefore, we should, as Christians, be opposed to immigration enforcement. Lloyd reads the story of the birth of Jesus Christ from the Gospels of Matthew and Luke and points out how wrong those ideas are.

Traditionally, since 2019, we share the account of Henry Williamson of his experience of the Christmas Truce in the First World War. It concludes with a prayer that, we, divided and broken politically, can come together as the combatants did on the western front in 1914. Today, Lloyd reflects on that story and how we no longer see that same star rising.

Happy Thanksgiving everyone! This week Lloyd is reviewing a recent post by the gun-grabbers at Everytown for Gun Safety that encourages readers to go out and ruin their family get-togethers with anti-gun talking points. Lloyd reviews 18 so-called "Myths" that the group wants you to foist upon your Thanksgiving guests to see how many, if any, are valid and just how misleading their so-called "facts" can be.

Prayer of the Week

Gracious God, you call your people to seek truth and love our neighbor. Grant me discernment in a world filled with confusing voices and information. Give me wisdom to recognize what is true, and humility to admit what I do not know. Guard my heart against the enticement to believe every story or rumor, especially those with hidden motives or fear.​ Help me to reject gossip, slander, and conspiracies that harm others or fail to reflect your justice and mercy. Remind me of your commandment: "You shall not bear false witness against your neighbor." Let my words and actions always honor others, choosing to speak well and protect their reputation.​ Form within me a spirit of respect, forbearance, and empathy for those with whom I disagree, and grant me the courage to stand for truth. "Thy will be done." May my thoughts and speech bear witness only to what is good and right, so I may serve you faithfully, now and always. Amen.
