“Your imagination can run wild, and anything and everything can happen.”
Join the Church of 434 staff as we tackle the ultimate holiday hypothetical: Dinner with any fictional character. The conversation takes some hilarious turns, featuring cameos from Red One, Frozen, and even Die Hard. Whether it’s asking Santa for his logistical secrets over a ribeye or chilling with The Rock, we want to know where your imagination takes you this holiday season.

In our Christmas Shoppes series we are finding that every shop tells a Christmas story. It should come as no surprise that a shop that is loaded with stories waiting to be discovered is a Book Shoppe. Today we step inside and explore the story that changes everything. But we have to more than just browse, we must step into the story.

If you could be stuck in a Christmas movie for just one day, which one would you pick? The Church at 434 staff takes on this debate, and the answers get wild!
From fixing the plot holes in White Christmas and riding Clark Griswold’s saucer sled, to a very un-pastoral plan to take out Mr. Potter in It’s a Wonderful Life—this conversation has it all. Join us around the tree for some laughs and let us know: which movie world would YOU choose?

In the hustle of the holiday season, it’s easy to feel like we can never take a day off—much like Santa’s elves. In this episode of “Chatting Around the Christmas Tree,” we start with a fun question: What do elves do for fun? But the conversation leads us to a much deeper truth.
Are you rushing through December, or are you experiencing it? We invite you to take a few hours for yourself, step away from the stress, and remember what we are truly celebrating. Let’s find rest and refocus on Jesus together.

Traditions make up the fabric of our holidays—but if you could start a new one for everyone, what would it be?
Welcome back to “Chatting Around the Christmas Tree.” Today, the staff dives into a creative hypothetical question that reveals a lot about how we view the holidays. From “mandating” that families take turns opening gifts to foster unity, to a “Brewster’s Millions” style of giving away money to strangers, we explore ways to make the season more meaningful. (And yes, we also talk about mandatory food choices and banning fake trees!).
Whether your traditions are silly or sacred, we hope this conversation inspires you to find ways to point your family back to the true gift of Christmas: the baby in the manger.
