Overflow
As the Jewish Sabbath ends on Saturday night, Jewish families perform the Havdalah service to prepare for the work week ahead. Havdalah, meaning “separation,” is a ceremony that divides the Sabbath from the work week ahead. The sacred custom asks God to increase the family’s offspring and their financial abundance.
Part of the Havdalah ceremony is recited over a cup of wine filled to the brim, allowing it to overflow into a saucer beneath symbolizing the hope for abundance that spills over. It’s a prayer for more than enough for your own family’s needs with overflow that can be shared to help others in need.
Filling the cup full is a reminder of the obligation to provide enough for yourself and your own family first. Overflowing the cup into the saucer reminds you to continue filling your cup even after it’s full, so the financial abundance may provide for others in need.
The ritual is a reminder that it’s not all about you. In practicing the principle of Havdalah, you’re walking in alignment with God’s design for your life. God didn’t create you to hold your blessings tightly to yourself—instead, you function best when you allow those blessings to overflow and impact others. God smiles upon you when you share your overabundance with those around you. As a result, God ensures your cup stays full and overflowing—so you can keep pouring into others.
Much like the Havdalah ceremony marks the end of rest and the beginning of a purposeful week—with blessings that overflow into the lives of others—the Bryan and Tracie Show exists to do the same for its listeners.
Havdalah teaches that we are filled so we can pour into others—sharing joy, encouragement, and abundance. That’s exactly what Bryan and Tracie strive to do every time they go on air. Their show is more than entertainment; it’s a fresh start, a warm voice, and a reminder that life is better when shared.
Just as the overflowing cup of wine in Havdalah symbolizes blessings that aren’t meant to be kept but shared, Bryan and Tracie bring laughter, hope, and a sense of community that lifts people up—turning ordinary mornings into moments of joy, connection, and even healing.
They don’t just fill time; they fill hearts.
Give, and it will be given to you. A good measure, pressed down, shaken together and running over, will be poured into your lap. For with the measure you use, it will be measured to you. ~Luke 6:38
