00:00:22.359 --> 00:00:26.679
In the minds of Welcome to Broadcasting Seeds, where we
2
00:00:26.719 --> 00:00:32.159
explore the unexplained, the eerie, the biblical, and the downright unsettling.
3
00:00:32.600 --> 00:00:36.320
I'm your host, Bennett Tanton, and if you're new here,
4
00:00:36.479 --> 00:00:41.759
we dive deep into the strange underbelly of our world. Cryptids, conspiracies,
5
00:00:42.240 --> 00:00:47.000
supernatural phenomena, and yes, the occasional government cover up. We
6
00:00:47.119 --> 00:00:49.520
pull it apart, look at the guts of it, and
7
00:00:49.600 --> 00:00:53.280
ask what does this mean for you and society at large?
8
00:00:54.039 --> 00:00:57.439
Today's episode hits close to home for anyone who's ever
9
00:00:57.560 --> 00:01:01.520
trimmed a tree, baked a Christmas cookie, or listen to
10
00:01:01.600 --> 00:01:04.319
Silent Night while fighting off the urge to deck a
11
00:01:04.400 --> 00:01:09.319
distant relative, not with holly, but with your fists. We're
12
00:01:09.359 --> 00:01:13.200
talking about Christmas and the Devil. Now, before you clutch
13
00:01:13.200 --> 00:01:17.439
your peppermint mocha in terror, hear me out. Christmas is
14
00:01:17.480 --> 00:01:21.200
a time of divine celebration, but it's also a season
15
00:01:21.239 --> 00:01:26.920
where spiritual battles rage under the surface, temptations rise, family
16
00:01:27.000 --> 00:01:30.519
tensions boil over, and for some, the season of joy
17
00:01:30.560 --> 00:01:33.920
can feel like a season of darkness. Could it be
18
00:01:34.079 --> 00:01:38.359
that something more sinister is at work? In this episode,
19
00:01:38.400 --> 00:01:41.560
we'll peel back the layers of holiday cheer to explore
20
00:01:41.599 --> 00:01:46.879
tales of demonic interference, spiritual warfare, and how to armor
21
00:01:47.000 --> 00:01:49.159
up for the fight you didn't know you were in.
22
00:01:49.680 --> 00:01:52.599
I promise you, by the end of this episode, you'll
23
00:01:52.640 --> 00:01:56.040
see Christmas in a new light, and you'll probably never
24
00:01:56.079 --> 00:01:59.879
look at mistletoe the same way again. Stick around, this
25
00:02:00.120 --> 00:02:05.439
one's going to get wild. Christmas. It's the most wonderful
26
00:02:05.480 --> 00:02:08.680
time of the year, or so the song says. But
27
00:02:08.840 --> 00:02:12.280
have you ever stopped to wonder why so many of
28
00:02:12.360 --> 00:02:15.919
us feel like we're caught between two worlds during the
29
00:02:16.000 --> 00:02:20.560
holiday season. One moment you're marveling at twinkling lights and
30
00:02:20.639 --> 00:02:26.680
feeling the warmth of goodwill, the next you're overwhelmed by stress, isolation,
31
00:02:26.919 --> 00:02:30.840
or even darkness. The truth is Christmas is a paradox,
32
00:02:31.280 --> 00:02:35.400
a season of both divine light and lurking shadow. From
33
00:02:35.400 --> 00:02:39.319
a biblical standpoint, it marks the arrival of Christ, the Savior,
34
00:02:39.680 --> 00:02:42.840
who brought hope to a fallen world. But here's the
35
00:02:42.879 --> 00:02:47.280
thing about light, it always attracts the dark. Think about
36
00:02:47.319 --> 00:02:52.680
the first Christmas. It wasn't all silent nights and angelic choirs.
37
00:02:53.159 --> 00:02:56.400
Jesus' birth came at a time of oppression, under the
38
00:02:56.400 --> 00:03:00.840
shadow of Herod's murderous paranoia. The Magi brought gifts, but
39
00:03:00.919 --> 00:03:04.800
their journey also brought danger. Even the heavenly star that
40
00:03:04.879 --> 00:03:08.280
guided them was both a beacon of hope and a
41
00:03:08.360 --> 00:03:13.120
trigger for the enemy's schemes. Fast forward to today, and
42
00:03:13.159 --> 00:03:19.919
the spiritual tension remains. The Christmas season amplifies everything joy, generosity, love,
43
00:03:20.360 --> 00:03:25.159
but also greed, temptation, and despair. The world has turned
44
00:03:25.159 --> 00:03:29.439
it into a consumerist feeding frenzy where the message of
45
00:03:29.520 --> 00:03:33.719
Christ is drowned out by holiday sales and societal pressure.
46
00:03:34.240 --> 00:03:38.199
Here's where it gets real. The devil doesn't take a holiday.
47
00:03:38.840 --> 00:03:42.520
In fact, Christmas might just be his busiest time of
48
00:03:42.560 --> 00:03:48.719
the year. When people are more vulnerable, emotionally, spiritually, even financially,
49
00:03:48.879 --> 00:03:53.639
he sees an opportunity. Family gatherings can turn into battlegrounds,
50
00:03:54.199 --> 00:03:58.360
Generosity can morph into pride or resentment. And what about
51
00:03:58.400 --> 00:04:03.919
that temptation to over indul food, drink, spending, you name it.
52
00:04:03.919 --> 00:04:08.520
It's no accident. Now, I'm not saying the Devil's hiding
53
00:04:08.599 --> 00:04:12.840
under your Christmas tree, although if you hear hissing near
54
00:04:12.919 --> 00:04:16.000
the garland, maybe take a second look. But what I
55
00:04:16.040 --> 00:04:19.319
am saying is that the spiritual stakes are higher during
56
00:04:19.360 --> 00:04:23.160
this season. It's not just about presents and parties. It's
57
00:04:23.199 --> 00:04:27.160
about preparing for battle, even in the midst of the joy.
58
00:04:27.959 --> 00:04:31.240
So why does this happen? Why does a time meant
59
00:04:31.279 --> 00:04:36.240
to celebrate Christ's victory attract such spiritual opposition. It's simple.
60
00:04:36.759 --> 00:04:40.639
The enemy hates what Christmas represents. It's a reminder of
61
00:04:40.680 --> 00:04:44.319
his defeat, of God's love for humanity and of the
62
00:04:44.399 --> 00:04:48.360
hope we have in Christ, and so he works overtime
63
00:04:48.480 --> 00:04:52.519
to distort it, distract us, and drag us into despair.
64
00:04:53.279 --> 00:04:56.560
In this section, we've set the stage for understanding the
65
00:04:56.600 --> 00:05:01.839
spiritual dynamics of Christmas, a season light shines brightest but
66
00:05:01.959 --> 00:05:06.079
also casts the darkest shadows. Now that we know the battlefield,
67
00:05:06.439 --> 00:05:08.720
it's time to dive deeper into the tactics of the
68
00:05:08.839 --> 00:05:12.959
enemy and how these spiritual battles manifest in everyday life.
69
00:05:13.040 --> 00:05:16.240
Let's get one thing straight. If the devil had a playbook,
70
00:05:16.439 --> 00:05:19.360
it would be well worn by now. His tactics don't
71
00:05:19.439 --> 00:05:22.519
change much, but they don't have to because they work,
72
00:05:23.120 --> 00:05:26.920
and Christmas that's prime time for a strategy to unfold
73
00:05:27.399 --> 00:05:31.600
the enemy's weapons are subtle, often dressed in shiny wrapping paper,
74
00:05:31.680 --> 00:05:36.560
but make no mistake, they're as sharp as ever. Let's
75
00:05:36.560 --> 00:05:41.040
start with temptation. It's not a new concept, but Christmas
76
00:05:41.040 --> 00:05:44.439
cranks it up a notch. The season comes with its
77
00:05:44.439 --> 00:05:47.720
own set of unique temptations and their tailor made to
78
00:05:47.800 --> 00:05:53.839
exploit our weaknesses. One materialism and greed. The most obvious
79
00:05:53.879 --> 00:05:57.879
one is materialism. We live in a world where Christmas
80
00:05:57.959 --> 00:06:02.360
has been hijacked by consumers culture. It's all about bigger gifts,
81
00:06:02.560 --> 00:06:06.800
brighter lights, and beating the neighbors in the holiday display contest.
82
00:06:07.279 --> 00:06:10.240
The enemy whispers, if you don't buy your kids the
83
00:06:10.319 --> 00:06:14.360
latest gadget, are you even a good parent? Or you
84
00:06:14.480 --> 00:06:20.120
deserve that extra credit card splurge, treat yourself. Suddenly, the
85
00:06:20.160 --> 00:06:24.279
season of giving becomes the season of hoarding. What starts
86
00:06:24.279 --> 00:06:27.800
as generosity turns into greed, and before you know it,
87
00:06:28.120 --> 00:06:34.279
you're buried in Amazon boxes and buyers remorse. Two family strife.
88
00:06:34.879 --> 00:06:38.600
Then there's the family dynamic picture this. You're at the
89
00:06:38.639 --> 00:06:42.120
dinner table, the turkey's carved and everyone's ready for a
90
00:06:42.160 --> 00:06:46.000
peaceful meal. But Uncle Bob just had to bring up politics.
91
00:06:46.639 --> 00:06:51.439
Or maybe Aunt Susan commented on your life choices. Again.
92
00:06:52.480 --> 00:06:55.879
The enemy thrives in these moments, sowing seeds of division
93
00:06:55.959 --> 00:06:58.879
and anger. What should be a time of unity and
94
00:06:58.959 --> 00:07:04.839
forgiveness becomes a war of passive, aggressive jabs and silent treatments. Three.
95
00:07:05.240 --> 00:07:09.439
Isolation in a crowded room. For some, Christmas is a
96
00:07:09.480 --> 00:07:13.560
time of loneliness. The enemy twists the narrative, making people
97
00:07:13.600 --> 00:07:18.040
feel forgotten or unworthy. He whispers lies like you're the
98
00:07:18.040 --> 00:07:22.399
only one without a family and out, or nobody really
99
00:07:22.439 --> 00:07:25.920
cares about you. The lights and laughter of others can
100
00:07:26.000 --> 00:07:32.800
feel like a cruel reminder of what's missing. Four. Over indulgence.
101
00:07:33.360 --> 00:07:37.680
Let's talk about indulgence. It starts innocently, a second helping
102
00:07:37.720 --> 00:07:41.160
of pie here, an extra glass of eggnog there. But
103
00:07:41.319 --> 00:07:47.160
soon the season of feasting turns into a season of excess. Gluttony, drunkenness,
104
00:07:47.240 --> 00:07:50.920
and laziness creep in, dulling the senses and pulling us
105
00:07:50.959 --> 00:07:56.680
away from the spiritual focus of the holiday. Five Distraction
106
00:07:57.240 --> 00:08:02.480
from the true meaning. Finally, distraction is one of the
107
00:08:02.560 --> 00:08:06.480
enemy's most effective tools. He doesn't need you to renounce
108
00:08:06.519 --> 00:08:09.480
your faith. He just needs you to be too busy,
109
00:08:09.959 --> 00:08:14.279
too stressed, or too distracted to think about Christ. Between
110
00:08:14.319 --> 00:08:18.839
shopping lists, party planning, and social media scrolling, it's easy
111
00:08:18.879 --> 00:08:22.639
to lose sight of the Manger in Bethlehem. You see,
112
00:08:22.839 --> 00:08:26.959
Temptation doesn't always look like a redskinned demon with horns.
113
00:08:27.480 --> 00:08:31.600
It looks like an overstuffed calendar, a snide remark at
114
00:08:31.639 --> 00:08:35.639
the dinner table, or a quick fix of retail therapy.
115
00:08:36.200 --> 00:08:39.440
The enemy knows how to tailor his traps to the season,
116
00:08:39.559 --> 00:08:43.159
and he uses them to great effect. But here's the
117
00:08:43.159 --> 00:08:46.759
good news. Recognizing the tactics is the first step to
118
00:08:46.799 --> 00:08:50.639
overcoming them. Once you see the strings, you can cut them.
119
00:08:51.159 --> 00:08:54.320
In the next section, we'll talk about the darker side
120
00:08:54.519 --> 00:08:59.440
of Christmas legends and the supernatural forces that some believe
121
00:08:59.559 --> 00:09:03.759
become more active during the season. From folklore to first
122
00:09:03.840 --> 00:09:07.240
hand accounts, we'll explore how the spiritual realm interacts with
123
00:09:07.279 --> 00:09:10.360
our world in ways that might surprise you. Christmas has
124
00:09:10.399 --> 00:09:15.279
its cozy traditions caroling, gingerbread houses and stockings hung by
125
00:09:15.320 --> 00:09:19.080
the chimney with care, but let's be honest, some of
126
00:09:19.120 --> 00:09:22.600
the lore surrounding this season isn't exactly sugar plums and
127
00:09:22.679 --> 00:09:26.799
candy canes beneath the surface of holly and cheer lies
128
00:09:26.840 --> 00:09:30.080
a darker world of sinister legends and eerie encounters that
129
00:09:30.240 --> 00:09:33.720
might make you think twice about leaving the fire burning
130
00:09:33.759 --> 00:09:37.600
all night. The Shadow of Crampis. Let's start with the
131
00:09:37.639 --> 00:09:42.600
big guy. No, not Santa, but his dark counterpart, Crampis.
132
00:09:43.000 --> 00:09:46.440
This goat like demon from Alpine folklore, is said to
133
00:09:46.480 --> 00:09:50.559
punish naughty children, while Saint Nicholas rewards the nice ones.
134
00:09:51.080 --> 00:09:54.519
Picture this. Kids in the mountains of Europe weren't worried
135
00:09:54.559 --> 00:09:58.480
about a lump of coal. They were terrified of being
136
00:09:58.559 --> 00:10:02.399
stuffed into Crampis's set and whisked away to his lair.
137
00:10:02.960 --> 00:10:06.960
Why does this matter? Because Crampis isn't just a creepy story.
138
00:10:07.000 --> 00:10:10.919
He represents the duality of the season. While Saint Nicholas
139
00:10:10.919 --> 00:10:16.679
embodies generosity and grace, Trampis symbolizes judgment and fear. Some
140
00:10:16.879 --> 00:10:19.440
argue that the legend serves as a reminder of the
141
00:10:19.480 --> 00:10:23.639
spiritual battles that occurred during this time, a tug of
142
00:10:23.679 --> 00:10:30.399
war between grace and consequence. Ghost stories at Christmas, believe
143
00:10:30.440 --> 00:10:33.399
it or not, Telling ghost stories was once a common
144
00:10:33.519 --> 00:10:39.519
Christmas tradition, particularly in Victorian England. Charles Dickens a Christmas
145
00:10:39.559 --> 00:10:43.720
Carol is the most famous example, but tales of hauntings
146
00:10:43.799 --> 00:10:48.039
and supernatural visitations were a staple of the season. Why
147
00:10:48.759 --> 00:10:51.399
the long dark nights of winter were seen as a
148
00:10:51.440 --> 00:10:55.399
time when the veil between worlds was thin. While most
149
00:10:55.399 --> 00:10:59.759
people associate these themes with Halloween, many cultures believe that
150
00:11:00.039 --> 00:11:03.559
Christmas was also a time when spirits walked among the living.
151
00:11:04.120 --> 00:11:07.519
Could it be that these stories reflect a deeper spiritual
152
00:11:07.559 --> 00:11:11.799
truth that the unseen realm is more active during times
153
00:11:11.840 --> 00:11:17.759
of heightened emotional and spiritual energy. Demonic visitations and first
154
00:11:17.799 --> 00:11:21.840
hand accounts here's where things get even more intriguing. There
155
00:11:21.840 --> 00:11:26.360
are countless reports of demonic visitations around Christmas. Some are
156
00:11:26.399 --> 00:11:31.080
tied to sleep paralysis, where individuals report being held down
157
00:11:31.639 --> 00:11:39.000
by shadowy figures. Others involve unexplained phenomena, objects moving, oppressive feelings,
158
00:11:39.120 --> 00:11:43.360
or even audible growls in the dead of night. One
159
00:11:43.440 --> 00:11:46.399
chilling account tells of a family in the Midwest who
160
00:11:46.440 --> 00:11:51.039
experienced a series of supernatural events one Christmas Eve. It
161
00:11:51.120 --> 00:11:53.919
began with the sound of footsteps on the roof not
162
00:11:54.080 --> 00:11:59.240
the jolly kind, and escalated to door slamming, shadowy figures
163
00:11:59.279 --> 00:12:02.639
in the hall, and a deep, guttural laugh that left
164
00:12:02.799 --> 00:12:08.799
everyone paralyzed with fear. Coincidence maybe, but stories like these
165
00:12:08.840 --> 00:12:13.039
suggest that the enemy doesn't take a holiday break. Instead,
166
00:12:13.559 --> 00:12:17.000
he seems to ramp up his activity, preying on people's
167
00:12:17.440 --> 00:12:22.080
heightened emotional states and the spiritual significance of the season.
168
00:12:22.919 --> 00:12:26.679
The role of folklore in spiritual awareness. Now, before you
169
00:12:26.799 --> 00:12:32.039
dismiss these tales as mere folklore, consider this. Legends often
170
00:12:32.120 --> 00:12:35.840
contain a kernel of truth. They serve as cultural markers,
171
00:12:36.279 --> 00:12:41.840
warning us of dangers both physical and spiritual. Grampists, ghost stories,
172
00:12:41.840 --> 00:12:46.320
and demonic visitations all point to a deeper reality, the
173
00:12:46.360 --> 00:12:50.360
presence of good and evil, light and dark battling for
174
00:12:50.480 --> 00:12:54.600
our attention and allegiance. So while you're sipping hot cocoa
175
00:12:54.679 --> 00:12:58.879
by the fire, remember that Christmas isn't just about nostalgia
176
00:12:58.960 --> 00:13:02.360
and tradition. It's also a time when the spiritual realm
177
00:13:02.840 --> 00:13:06.480
seems to stir a little more than usual. In the
178
00:13:06.519 --> 00:13:10.559
next section, we'll shift gears and talk about spiritual warfare,
179
00:13:11.080 --> 00:13:14.840
what it is, how it manifests, and most importantly, how
180
00:13:14.879 --> 00:13:18.639
you can fight back during the season of heightened spiritual activity.
181
00:13:18.720 --> 00:13:22.039
If Christmas is a season of divine joy, why does
182
00:13:22.120 --> 00:13:25.840
it feel like we're often under attack? The answer lies
183
00:13:25.879 --> 00:13:29.480
in the reality of spiritual warfare. The Bible makes it
184
00:13:29.600 --> 00:13:33.399
clear that our battle isn't against flesh and blood, but
185
00:13:33.519 --> 00:13:39.639
against spiritual forces of darkness Ephesians six twelve. During Christmas,
186
00:13:39.679 --> 00:13:43.279
the stakes feel higher and the attacks often hit closer
187
00:13:43.320 --> 00:13:48.799
to home. What is spiritual warfare? Spiritual warfare is the
188
00:13:48.840 --> 00:13:53.120
struggle between good and evil, fought not in the physical realm,
189
00:13:53.120 --> 00:13:56.399
but in the spiritual. It's a battle for our souls,
190
00:13:56.799 --> 00:14:00.320
our relationships, and our faith. And while Christmas is a
191
00:14:00.360 --> 00:14:03.559
time to celebrate Christ's victory, it's also a time when
192
00:14:03.559 --> 00:14:09.360
the enemy works overtime to distract, discourage, and divide. The
193
00:14:09.559 --> 00:14:13.080
enemy's goal to shift your focus away from the true
194
00:14:13.080 --> 00:14:16.600
meaning of the season and toward anything that can weaken
195
00:14:16.679 --> 00:14:21.679
your spiritual defenses. He'll use subtle tactics like whispering lies
196
00:14:21.720 --> 00:14:25.759
about your worth, or more direct methods like stirring conflict
197
00:14:25.759 --> 00:14:30.759
in your family or amplifying feelings of despair. Common signs
198
00:14:30.879 --> 00:14:36.519
of spiritual warfare during Christmas. Let's break it down. How
199
00:14:36.519 --> 00:14:40.399
do you know if you're experiencing spiritual warfare. Here's some
200
00:14:40.559 --> 00:14:47.879
common signs. Heightened emotional struggles, feeling unusually stressed, irritable, or hopeless.
201
00:14:48.480 --> 00:14:52.519
It could be more than just holiday burnout. Spiritual attacks
202
00:14:52.559 --> 00:14:57.519
often manifest as amplified emotions designed to pull you into
203
00:14:57.600 --> 00:15:04.120
a negative headspace relational conflict. Family gatherings can be a
204
00:15:04.159 --> 00:15:08.279
breeding ground for conflict, but spiritual warfare takes it up
205
00:15:08.279 --> 00:15:11.759
a notch. Arguments seem to come out of nowhere, and
206
00:15:11.919 --> 00:15:16.919
past wounds resurface at the worst possible time. Spiritual apathy.
207
00:15:17.559 --> 00:15:20.559
Do you find it harder to pray, read scripture, or
208
00:15:20.679 --> 00:15:24.879
even focus on the message of Christmas? The enemy loves
209
00:15:24.919 --> 00:15:28.879
to dull your spiritual senses, making you feel disconnected from
210
00:15:28.919 --> 00:15:33.759
God just when you need him most. Unusual oppression or fear.
211
00:15:34.440 --> 00:15:38.519
Some people report a sense of heaviness, fear, or even
212
00:15:38.600 --> 00:15:43.279
strange occurrences during the holidays. While skeptics might write this
213
00:15:43.440 --> 00:15:47.720
off as stress or over active imaginations, others see it
214
00:15:47.759 --> 00:15:53.039
as a clear sign of spiritual attack. Armor up. How
215
00:15:53.080 --> 00:15:57.480
to fight back The good news You're not defenseless. The
216
00:15:57.559 --> 00:16:01.320
Bible equips us with tools for spiritual warfare, and Christmas
217
00:16:01.440 --> 00:16:05.159
is the perfect time to use them. Here's how Prayer's
218
00:16:05.159 --> 00:16:09.080
a weapon. Prayers your most powerful defense it's not just
219
00:16:09.159 --> 00:16:12.960
talking to God, it's engaging in battle. Pray for protection,
220
00:16:13.440 --> 00:16:16.759
clarity and peace, and don't forget to intercede for others
221
00:16:16.799 --> 00:16:19.759
who may be struggling during this season. The Word of
222
00:16:19.799 --> 00:16:23.240
God scripture is called the sword of the Spirit for
223
00:16:23.440 --> 00:16:29.159
a reason. Versus like Psalm ninety one, Ephesians six ten nine,
224
00:16:29.159 --> 00:16:32.679
one hundred eighteen, and John one to five remind us
225
00:16:32.720 --> 00:16:35.879
of God's power and the victory of light over darkness.
226
00:16:36.440 --> 00:16:40.559
Worship as warfare. There's something about worship that drives the
227
00:16:40.720 --> 00:16:45.480
enemy crazy. Christmas carols like Oh Holy Knight and Joy
228
00:16:45.559 --> 00:16:49.639
to the World aren't just songs. They're declarations of victory,
229
00:16:49.919 --> 00:16:55.399
community and accountability. Don't fight alone. Surround yourself with people
230
00:16:55.440 --> 00:16:58.519
who can pray with you, encourage you, and help you
231
00:16:58.600 --> 00:17:03.120
stay focused on Christ. Amid the busyness of the season.
232
00:17:03.559 --> 00:17:06.680
Make time to reflect on the true meaning of Christmas.
233
00:17:07.279 --> 00:17:11.920
Set aside moments for quiet prayer, family devotions, or simply
234
00:17:12.000 --> 00:17:16.039
meditating on the miracle of Christ's birth. Winning the battle.
235
00:17:16.680 --> 00:17:19.480
The enemy may try to steal your joy, but he's
236
00:17:19.680 --> 00:17:24.079
already lost the war. Christmas is a reminder of that fact.
237
00:17:24.359 --> 00:17:27.160
The light has come into the world and the darkness
238
00:17:27.200 --> 00:17:30.640
cannot overcome it. In the final section will close with
