In 2022, during the Feast of Matzot (Unleavened Bread) at Safe Haven Farm in Orosi, CA, I sat down with Rico Cortes of Wisdom In Torah Ministries and asked him one compelling question: Why should a modern-day follower of Yeshua (Jesus) bother with a study of the Temple? Here is his answer. Send us a text Support the show

This is episode 40, the kickoff to Season 4, and I’m doing something a little different this season. There are some great topics and interviews on deck, I can’t wait! I WILL still be sitting down with people and collecting their stories of how they got from there - wherever that was - to here: Walking out faith like a true crossed-over Hebrew, following in the actual footsteps of our Messiah. But it’s high time I started carrying out one of the original purposes of this podcast, something I’v...

There are a couple of really big things in this interview that I’m happy to be able to talk about. First, Mindy is Jewish and grew up in a Jewish household, and she tells the story of how she actually came to faith in Jesus as a young wife. Understanding how Jewish people are taught from birth to reject Yeshua as Messiah makes it that much more exciting when a Jewish person realizes they’ve been taught in error. It’s like those of us who grew up in mainstream Christian homes are taught that G...

In John 14:15 we read, “If you love me, keep my commandments.” What does it mean to be obedient to God? How do we decide if we even SHOULD obey, especially in the face of the idea that we cannot earn our salvation, and that obedience is equivalent to attempting to earn our salvation? How would we decide which actions are considered acceptable obedience, and which actions are an attempt to earn salvation? And if you DO decide to obey God, are you in rebellion? My guests in Episode 38 are...

Episode 37 is a little different from the usual format. During Sukkot this year, at Safe Haven Farm in Orosi, CA, I was introduced to two delightful couples who sat down to share with me as a group. So we’ll hear from retired NBA player Jamal Sampson and his talented wife Angela, along with former mega-church youth leader Austin Sanford and his beautiful bride Susy. Just a heads up though, we recorded this interview in the middle of the camp with kids and families everywhere and a worship ses...

This is episode 36, an interview with James and Angela Hollon of Texas. This is the couple behind the Facebook page Herbs of the Torah, and Set Apart Farms, a non-profit for injured veterans. James, a backslidden Christian and Iraq War vet with major injuries, and Angela, a nearly lifelong pagan chasing the lure of the supernatural, had a quiet encounter with the God of the Bible that quickly changed everything. We talk about what happens when you ask God for understanding, their struggles wi...

My guests in episode 35 are David and Niki Rodriguez of Quantico, Virginia. Their coming-to-Torah story is wonderful, but the real meat here lies in Niki’s years-long battle with stage 4 breast cancer and all the ways it has changed her and affected her faith. This episode is longer than usual because I couldn’t bear to leave out even the smallest part of this emotional, inspiring story. Bring tissues! Resources mentioned in this episode include: Jaimie Bauer's last article 119 Ministries ...

I had an amazing conversation with Ryan and Alisa Nakken of Woodland, California. When we sat down on a windy day during Shavuot in Orosi, California, Ryan was absolutely new to faith and Alisa had very minimal church exposure. By their own admission, they had lived their lives as “heathens”, and had no idea what people were talking about in 2020 when biblical and apocalyptic conspiracy theories were tearing through the country like a virus. We talk about how the tragic circumstances of the b...

I sat down with Cynthia Thompson, who is known as Cindy’s Pantry on Facebook. Cindy and I had a wonderful conversation about her journey into this deeper faith walk, the difference between being educated and being an encourager, her vibrant Facebook ministry and her discovery of exactly why her Christian walk had not been as successful as she thought it should be. Resources mentioned in Episode 33 include Identity Crisis by Jim Staley Church Leadership by Steve Moutria Christy Jo...

We talk about her struggles with her parents and her early faith life, how culture shock led her to a safe haven where all her questions were finally answered, and then we go off topic for a bit as Jill shares her heart about a devastating loss and how abortion laws, which are already evil enough, ...
