Chris and Sean step back from the noise, the stress, and the endless hustle of December to remember why this season matters in the first place — the birth of the living Christ, the foundation of hope, renewal, and grace in a chaotic world.
In this heartfelt Christmas episode:
✨ Sean shares a powerful moment — when his daughter Reagan handed him a book, The Beggar and the Blue Bird, a simple story that hit him square in the heart and reminded him what truly deserves our attention during this season.
Chris opens up about how overwhelmed he can get this time of year — expectations, responsibilities, the emotional weight of it all — and how easy it is to “roll off the tracks” if you lose sight of what’s truly important. His honesty sets the tone for a conversation so many listeners will relate to.
Together, Chris and Sean explore how to keep your heart centered, your spirit grounded, and your eyes fixed on what really matters during the Christmas season — faith, family, gratitude, generosity, and the quiet moments that remind us of God’s presence.
And as Light Beer | Dark Money approaches its 5th anniversary, we want to say something simple and sincere:
Thank you.
Thank you for listening.
Thank you for watching.
Thank you for supporting a podcast that literally started with the energy of an NPR sketch on SNL.
