TŌV is the Hebrew word for "good." God's heart towards us and others is TŌV. Aaron Harsch, founder of Redemption Road Coffee, and Levi Hazen, Associate Director of Life in Messiah, discuss God, His Word and what it means for us today.
The TOV podcast is an incredible resource that I am incredibly grateful for. With its solid biblical teaching and relevant guests, it has become an essential tool in equipping me in my Christian walk. What sets this podcast apart from others is its focus on sharing the Jewish roots of the Christian faith and its unwavering love and support for the Jewish people. This unique perspective has deepened my understanding of Scripture and fostered a greater appreciation for God's chosen people.
One of the best aspects of The TOV podcast is its dedication to providing informative and thought-provoking episodes. One episode that particularly stood out to me was the one on archaeological evidence for the Exodus of the Jews from Egypt. Dr. Titus Kennedy presented compelling information, and the discovery of an inscription in the royal temple of Amenhotep III stating "the nomads of Yahweh who are wandering in Edom and Moab area" was truly mind-blowing. These kind of revelations challenge disbelievers and provide a gift of truth that can rock their world.
Another standout feature of this podcast is its coverage of current events, specifically the Israeli-Hamas/Muslim conflict. Episodes 17 and 18 provided eye-opening perspectives from individuals in Israel who were directly affected by the conflict. It was refreshing to hear firsthand accounts instead of relying on biased news sources. Additionally, The TOV podcast emphasizes that Satan is behind these attacks, seeking to delegitimize God's chosen people and their rightful place in the Land given to them by God Himself. This bold stance admirably defends Israel's importance in God's plan.
While The TOV podcast offers many invaluable insights, it may not appeal to all listeners due to its strong pro-Israel stance. However, I believe this perspective is important as it sheds light on oft-neglected aspects regarding Israel's significance in God's redemptive plan. As such, some individuals with differing views may find themselves feeling uncomfortable or excluded.
In conclusion, The TOV podcast is an exceptional resource for anyone seeking a deeper understanding of the Bible and the Jewish roots of the Christian faith. Its solid biblical teaching, relevant guests, and love for Israel and the Jewish people make it a valuable asset. While its strong pro-Israel stance may not resonate with everyone, it challenges listeners to consider different perspectives and expands their understanding of God's plan for His chosen people.
