At Christmas, it’s easy to get caught up in the noise — busy schedules, decorations, and expectations. In this special episode, Derek Cole slows things down to focus on what truly matters.

The greatest gift ever given: Jesus Christ.

Drawing from Scripture and generations of faith-rooted values, Derek reflects on why Christmas is about more than warmth in our homes — it’s about faith, family, integrity, and loving our neighbors the way Christ taught us to.

This episode is a reminder that how we live, how we serve, and how we treat people matters — not just during the holidays, but all year long.

A heartfelt Christmas message centered on gratitude, trust, and the responsibility of serving others well.

Heating costs are going up this winter, and that’s not speculation — it’s already happening.

Just straight talk on how homeowners can stay warm, stay safe, and stay in control this winter.

Drawing on nearly 25 years in the industry and 72 years of family experience, Derek explains how catching problems early leads to fewer breakdowns, fewer emergencies, and fewer surprise repair bills.
