“All will be revealed”
💡🔵💡🔵

Hi Strands fans. I was a bit slow out the traps today, and really struggled to get my head around what the theme of "All will be revealed" could mean.
Two clues got me started. They revealed ARISE on the left-hand side, followed by EMERGE above it.
With those, I realized this was a puzzle about things coming into view, which helped me find MATERIALIZE in the top-right corner. That helped clear a path for the spangram, which I figured out was COMETOLIGHT, spelt out from the bottom of the grid to the top.
Two answers were left to find, both isolated in their own sections. SURFACE was in the bottom-left corner, with MANIFEST on the right to complete the puzzle.

“Called by your calling”
🟡🔵🔵🔵

Hi Strands fans. A clever one today. The theme of "Called by your calling" wasn't much help, except to make me think of professions.
I could see the word "working" in the middle, and tried to extend it to become the spangram. Eventually I saw how: WORKINGTITLE, spanning from the left-hand side to the bottom-right corner.
Aha! So this is a puzzle about job titles that become part of how a professional is addressed!
With that in mind, I connected DOCTOR along the right, and DETECTIVE on the opposite side. PROFESSOR was below it to complete the section.
Two answers were left to find along the top. I connected OFFICER in the top-left corner, which just left RABBI to its right to complete the puzzle.
