Walk Like a Hebrew

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.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've meant to be doing from the start. I want to talk about HOW to Walk like a Hebrew. HOW do we go about living this set-apart life? What's different about this walk from the places we used to worship? Where do we even start?So I went to a ladies' retreat this past winter on the Mendocino coast of Northern California, and I sat down with a group of amazing, faith and Spirit-filled women and we had a discussion about the Sabbath. We talked about why we keep it, when it is, HOW we keep it in our different households, and much more. Please let me know if you find this episode valuable! I would love your feedback: are you interested in this new format? In this discussion we will hear from Michelle Hawkins, Anna Kaufmann, Tamara Anderson, Lori Jeleti, Karen Bixby, Pam Custer, and of course, me!Want to support the show but only have a little to spend??I take tips!

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 It's like those of us who grew up in mainstream Christian homes are taught that God's Law is no longer applicable to our lives. It looks like we are seeing in our times a great meeting between the two religions, a shaking off of the untruths and a putting on of the truths of Yahweh. The second big thing in this interview with Mindy is talking about dancing. It's a form of worship that can be… off-putting to those of us who grew up in some of the stricter denominations of Christianity (you know, don't dance, don't drink, don't chew…and don't associate with those who do…that was the stance of the denomination I grew up in). IS worship dancing ok? Why would we do it? What's the difference between singing and whole-body dance when it comes to praising Yahweh, our wonderful Creator? Mindy talks about learning to worship God, how the Covid crisis affected the ministry, and much much more. Be sure to check out her ministry website Messianic Dance Camps International at messianicdancecamps.com or mdci.info. Oh, and SIDE NOTE: We did this interview in a busy hotel lobby, so please ignore the elevator and people noises in the background!   Support the show (https://www.paypal.com/donate/?hosted_button_id=B3RJRJE7SNT9J)

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 John and Karen Kubes of Monterey, California. They asked themselves this exact question after years of praying for God to guide them in their walk, and His leading opened up some pretty radical doors. Listen as they share their journey of discovery from both ends of the religious spectrum, to a time of separation they call “church rehab”, and then to the discovery of a way of life they had longed for, for so long.Resources mentioned in this episode: 119 MinistriesThe Way DocumentarySafe Haven FarmsBrad ScottTom Bradford, Torah ClassPatriot NurseZac Bauer, New2TorahJacob's TentSteve Moutria, Torah FamilyTruth UneditedAssembly of Called-Out BelieversSupport the show (https://www.paypal.com/donate/?hosted_button_id=B3RJRJE7SNT9J)

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 session in the background.We talk about Angela's initial resistance to change, how digging into the Scriptures together strengthened Angela and Jamal's courtship, why Jamal really retired from the NBA, and how the Minister of Defense Reggie White sparked a life change of epic proportions. Susy Sanford talks about how her deep love for God led her to her marriage to Austin and how her skepticism of this faith walk keeps her searching the Scriptures. Then Austin regales us with stories of how he got into ministry to prove he was a better Christian than his father, how once he found the truth he banked EVERYTHING on his faith in Yahweh, and how actually doing what the Bible teaches has changed their lives. Arthur BaileyMichael RoodJim StaleyBrad ScottThe Kids Bible ShowDivine Prospect119 MinistriesYah's MannaSupport the show (https://www.paypal.com/donate/?hosted_button_id=B3RJRJE7SNT9J)

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 with the VA, how their new faith is directing their entire future and the future of the families of other injured vets, tattoos, and why they call themselves Christians. There may even be a little talk about some controversial pharmakeia subjects in there, so heads up. 

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.

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 birth of a friend's child led to their first encounter with YHVH; how falling down the rabbit-hole of 2020 led them to some unexpected discoveries about the Creator of the Universe, and what happened when they picked up Bibles for the first time in their lives. Resources mentioned in this episode:Parable of the VineyardTruth UneditedInstagramDifferent Bible translationsShe Holds Forth Click here https://podhero.com/449351-tkv to support my work directly!Support the show (https://www.paypal.com/donate/?hosted_button_id=B3RJRJE7SNT9J)

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 includeIdentity Crisis by Jim Staley Church Leadership by Steve MoutriaChristy Jordan's Front Porch Fellowship - seekingscripture.comThank you for listening to Walk Like a Hebrew.

My guest today is Ira Malone of South Carolina. Ira is one of those Torah-keeping believers who has not completely left his charismatic Sunday-keeping church life, but instead has woven the two lifestyles — which sometimes seem to oppose one another completely — into one that is wonderful, set-apart and Spirit-filled. Ira and I talk about his encounter with a prophetic painter which sparked a desire to learn more about the Jewish Jesus, the pastor who accepts his “Torah-keeping ways”, and the reason he started a social media account to connect people of faith to their Hebraic roots.Resources mentioned in this episode include:Rico Cortes Jim Staley David Wilber Joshua Ensley 119 Ministries Michael Rood Monte Judah Eddie Chumney Batyah Wootten Dr. Dinah Dye Torah Resource First Fruits Of Zion Dr. Hutch Church JK McKee, Messianic Apologetics Dr. Steven Pidgeon, Et-Cepher Walk Like a Hebrew is entirely listener-supported.

My guest on this week's podcast is Wendy Spencer of Eagle River, Alaska. I met Wendy earlier this month at the Sukkot celebration in Orosi, CA, and our interview takes place in the middle of a huge camp with a LOT of activity going on. One of the interesting things about Wendy’s story is how her whole family, including mom, sister and herself and their spouses and children, all had their eyes opened at the same time, and they are all walking in Torah Observance now. This is so rare in our walk, I just had to hear about it. We also talked about growing up with a Jewish mother, Wendy’s prophetic dreams, and what happened when she asked Yahweh to show her the truth.Resources mentioned in this episode include:The Bible and the Sword Mark Biltz of El Shaddai Ministries, Passover to Pentecost Et Cepher Dead Sea Scrolls Brad Scott Bill Cloud Michael Rood Walk Like a Hebrew is entirely listener-supported.

But this couple is so vivacious, funny and full of life, just their presence in my sukkah gave me hope and joy and wonder in this precious season. I hope you enjoy our conversation as much as I did!We talk about Vincent’s past that included a rough life and a few prison terms, Gloria’s tumultuous first marriage, the miracle of finding each other and being the parents of 8 kids; finding fellowship and accountability, and they also tell me the story of how they met, full of hilarity and Yahweh’s direction.

The purpose of this podcast is to tell the stories of those followers of the Messiah who have discovered the truth and applicability of the whole word of God. We have come to understand that Jesus — also known by His Hebrew name, Yeshua — was not kidding when He said in Matthew 5 that He did NOT come to do away with the Law of God, or the Torah. We have come to know exactly what the Apostle Paul was really talking about when he wrote that believers are “no longer under the Law”, which was NOT that we are no longer bound by God’s Law, but that the believers of his time were no longer bound by the excessive, Gentile-hating law of the infamous Rabbi Shammai, which was known as the 18 measures. We have come to know and appreciate the instructions that were given straight from the mouth of God to the ears of His people through Moses, which according to Deuteronomy 30:11 are NOT too difficult for us or beyond our reach, and which are actually written on our hearts in the New Covenant, according to Jeremiah 31. Therefore, believers from this walk of faith -- known sometimes as Messianic, Torah-observant, Torah-Pursuant, or Hebrew Roots -- live our lives according to the ways of our Creator. We follow HIS calendar and keep HIS appointed times, including the Biblical Feasts like Passover and Yom Kippur, and the seventh-day Sabbath. We keep the dietary laws, avoiding unclean things as we are instructed to do by Paul in 2 Corinthians 6. We do our best to steer clear of the doctrines and traditions of men. This is episode 22. This week, due to unforeseen things like wildfire evacuations and hurricanes, travel and other messy life stuff, I was forced to reschedule my guests and do something different. So I’ve assembled a short little montage of clips taken from the two previous season 2 interviews with Mark & Cheri Olson and David and Krista Hooven. This podcast is entirely listener-supported.

Cheri was the sister who introduced me to the concept of keeping the Sabbath according to what was actually written in the Scriptures, and she and Mark have become some of our very closest friends. I cannot express how much I love and value these people. Mark and Cheri are funny and can be rather irreverent, and our conversation was full of hilarity and hope. We talked about the Pesach messages only Christians would know about, who exactly the Biblical feasts were for, and Mark might drop a bomb about Jesus somewhere in there, as he wonders some deep things about the Sabbath.Resources mentioned in this podcast include:Dot Olsen, who does not have a ministry link, but is a wonderful friend and prayer warrior and resource for many on the West Coast and on Facebook.

So much great stuff from my conversation with Dawn and April, I just couldn't resist another bonus clip. We had a lively discussion on the Narrow Way and what exactly is it that makes us "set apart"; also what we would change about this walk. Support the show (http://sheholdsforth.com/donate)

In my conversation with Dawn and April, I talked a bit about how I reacted when presented with the Sabbath, and the discussion got really funny. Support the show (http://sheholdsforth.com/donate)

Ok, this was funny, and I laughed WAY too much. It's obnoxious but I can't change it now. :) Dawn talks about her favorite parsha...Metzorah, the leper. Support the show (http://sheholdsforth.com/donate)

This is a snippet of conversation from my conversation with Dawn and April. Well, admittedly it's mostly just me holding forth, but we do discuss traditions in the context of the Bible. Turns out, probably not every single thing that ever happened got put into the Bible. Support the show (http://sheholdsforth.com/donate)
