ROMANS EXEGESIS| Episode 31 | The Reality of Christ's Death, the Power of His Resurrection & Why Your Eternal Choice Matters What does it really mean that Jesus was "declared to be the Son of God with power... by the resurrection from the dead" (Romans 1:4)? Did Christ truly die? Why was His physical death essential to God's plan of redemption? What happened between His death and resurrection, and why does it matter for every believer today? In this eye-opening episode of ROMANS EXEGESIS on the GRACELIFECOMI Podcast, hosts Chimdi and Adefunke Ohahuna continue their verse-by-verse study of Romans 1:4, uncovering profound biblical truths hidden in the phrase "from the dead." Through careful exposition of Scripture and insights from the original Greek, this study reveals why the historical reality of Jesus' death is foundational to the Christian faith and our eternal hope. Journey through the Gospel accounts, Messianic prophecies, and key New Testament passages as you discover how Christ's death was publicly verified, why His bones remained unbroken in fulfillment of prophecy, and how His resurrection stands as undeniable proof that sin's penalty has been fully paid. This episode also explores the significance of the Greek word “nekrosis”, explaining the biblical meaning of death, the separation of body and soul, and the glorious victory Jesus accomplished through His sacrificial work. Learn how Christ conquered death, secured the keys of death and Hades, fulfilled the Father's redemptive plan, and established the only pathway to justification and eternal life. More than a theological discussion, this episode is a heartfelt call to embrace the finished work of Christ. It reminds believers that salvation is not built upon religious tradition but upon the historical death, burial, resurrection, and heavenly ministry of Jesus Christ. The message concludes with a powerful exhortation to choose life through faith in Christ while the opportunity remains. Whether you are studying Romans for the first time or seeking a deeper understanding of the Gospel, this episode will strengthen your confidence in the Scriptures, deepen your appreciation of Christ's atoning work, and renew your passion to proclaim the hope of salvation. In this episode, you'll discover: √ Why the physical death of Jesus was essential to God's plan of redemption. √ The meaning of "from the dead" in Romans 1:4. √ The significance of the Greek word √nekrosis√. √ How Scripture confirms the reality of Christ's death. √ The fulfillment of Messianic prophecies during the crucifixion. √ Why Jesus' resurrection validates His identity as the Son of God. √ Christ's triumph over death and His victory through the resurrection. √ The relationship between Christ's death, resurrection, justification, and eternal life. √ Why every person must choose Christ before life's final breath. √ Practical encouragement for believers to live confidently in the power of the Gospel. The Gospel is not merely a message about life after death, it is the announcement that Jesus Christ entered death, conquered it completely, and now offers eternal life to all who believe. Join us as we continue uncovering the inexhaustible riches of Paul's letter to the Romans, one verse at a time.

Messianic Apologetics editor John McKee surveys the Book of Isaiah from a Messianic perspective.

Would you drive 2.5 hours to gather with God's people?. We often don't realize how much we think about just ourselves, instead of the biblical thinking of a collective group. The Bible calls it a "people of God". Psalm 45 exposes the Messianic reality that Christ is the groom and we are the bride. And the goal is not just two people in a relationship. It's generations and nations declaring His name forever. In Episode 28, Pastor Tim and guest Pastor James Lynch from Freedom Village Church in Soul, South Korea, dig into a deeply symbolic Psalm. The King and His Queen become Christ & His Church The Hebrew thinking of us verses the American thinking of me. When 6" inches of frustration can stop you from celebrating all God is doing. It all comes down to one question: are you desired by the King?

Responding to the view that Torah observance is optional for Gentile believers, pointing to Yeshua's words about the Sabbath, the grafted-in olive tree, and the hope of Jew and Gentile worshiping Messiah together in the Kingdom.Reference message here https://open.spotify.com/episode/5mziD8Hk0vj1wTpNv0ULs5?si=rXK28RMXTaiE4ctjsl0yjgTorah observance, Gentile believers, Messianic Judaism, MJAA, First Fruits of Zion, Sabbath, Shabbat, Yeshua, Jesus, New Testament, grafted in, olive tree, Romans 11, Torah for Christians, Messianic believers, Jew and Gentile, biblical festivals, holy days, Kingdom of Messiah, 1st Century Christianity, Hebrew Roots, Torah pursuant, Christian obedience

Episode Description Welcome to this week's broadcast of For Zion’s Sake with your hosts, Shelley and June. Looking at a world facing one crisis after another, it becomes clearer every day that our true strength doesn't come from our own human abilities. Instead, it comes when we align ourselves intimately with the Holy One of Israel. In this episode, Shelley and June—both Jewish believers—explore a powerful theme throughout Scripture: the shift from being at a distance from God to being truly in Him. In the Old Covenant, most people stood trembling at a distance while only chosen prophets and leaders approached the heavy cloud of His presence. But everything changed with the resurrection of Yeshua (Jesus). Discover how the ultimate promise of Immanuel—God with us—is an invitation into deep, unshakeable intimacy that transforms our daily lives, shifts our countenances, and replaces fear with His perfect shalom. Scripture Referenced in This Episode The People Stand at a Distance: Exodus 20:18–21 – Seeing how the nation of Israel trembled at the thunder, lightning, and trumpet sound on Mount Sinai, choosing to stay far back while Moses approached the thick cloud. A Promise of Presence: Exodus 3:12 – God reassures Moses during his calling with the ultimate foundational promise: "Certainly I will be with you." Be Strong and Courageous: Joshua 1:9 – The charge to Joshua reminding him not to be afraid or dismayed, because the Lord is with him wherever he goes. The Prophecy of Immanuel: Isaiah 7:14 – The vital Messianic sign declaring that a virgin shall conceive and bear a son, calling His name Immanuel, which translates to "God with us." The Word Made Flesh: John 1:1 – Confirming the divine reality that in the beginning was the Word, the Word was with God, and the Word was God. Appointed to Be With Him: Mark 3:14 – Looking at how Jesus specifically established the twelve disciples for one primary baseline purpose: simply to be with Him. Evident Habits of Grace: Acts 4:13 – How the Jewish rulers and scribes marveled at the boldness of Peter and John, recognizing that even though they were uneducated, ordinary men, they had clearly "been with Jesus." The Great Invitation: James 4:8 – Standing on the New Covenant guarantee that if we draw near to God, He will dynamically draw near to us. A Prayer from the Broadcast: Father, we pray for those who feel at a distance from You today. Draw them near. Let your presence be so real in the lives of believers that it reflects clearly in their very countenance. And for those who don't know You yet, reveal Yeshua as the Messiah, fill their souls with Your shalom, and answer their cry. In Jesus' holy name, Amen.

Daily Bitachon: Framing Eicha and the Secrets of Ashrei As we get closer to Tisha B'Av, we want to share some insights on Megillat Eicha . The Concept of a Petichta (The Opening) Midrash Eicha starts with a section called Petichta deHakimei , which means "introductory teachings of the wise men." We find a similar concept in the Talmud ( Megillah 10b ), where a long list of Chachamim (scholars) introduce the Megillah using this exact term. What is the deeper meaning of an "opening"? The Or Gedalyahu (Purim, p. 86) explains that a Petichta acts like a mafteach (a key) . It is designed to unlock the inner secrets of the text so we don't lose the forest for the trees. It anchors us to the underlying message of the book. Beginning and Ending with Goodness In Sefer Kad HaKemach (Gezel, Unit 2), Rabbeinu Bechaye discusses the famous rabbinic dictum: לעולם יתחיל אדם בדבר טוב ויסיים בדבר טוב "A person should always begin and end with something good." He explains that "good" ( tov ) refers directly to God. We can see this as we say every day in the Amidah and Ashrei: " הטוב שמך ולך נאה להודות " (The Good is Your Name, and to You it is fitting to give thanks). " טוב ה׳ לכל " ( Tov Hashem lakol – God is good to all). A name represents the essence of a thing, meaning God's absolute essence is goodness. This is a foundational theme of the Nine Days—a topic we will delve into further. Rabbeinu Bechaye and the Nefesh HaChaim explain that the ultimate expression of God's name in this world is the Torah. When the verse says, " כי שם ה׳ אקרא " ("When I call out the name of Hashem"), it refers to the Torah, which is is the names of G-d and I must gibe greatness to his name this is the source for birkat hatorah, when we learn Torah, mention his name we give Him greatness by blessing him.. In fact, the Ramban writes in his introduction to Bereishit that the entire Torah is comprised of interwoven names of God. Therefore, every Petichta begins with a Torah verse because it contains fundamental holiness—the dvar tov (good thing) that reframes our perspective before we experience the grief of Eicha. Reframing Exile: The Daughter of Waves In the Midrash , Rabbi Abba bar Kahana quotes a verse from Yeshayahu: " צהלי קולך בת גלים " ("Raise your voice, daughter of the waves"). The Midrash explains that "daughter of the waves" (or "daughter of exiles") refers to the Jewish nation. We are the children of exiles: Avraham experienced exile and famine ( "Vayehi ra'av ba'aretz" ). Yitzchak experienced exile and famine, moving to Avimelech in Gerar. Yaakov fled his home to Padan Aram. The message here is not to despair . The pain of exile is not a historic coincidence; it was built into the blueprint of creation. Rav Wolbe noted that the very opening lines of the Torah— " והארץ היתה תהו ובהו וחשך על פני תהום " —allude to the four exiles: Tohu (Chaos): Babylonia (Bavel) Vohu (Void): Persia and Media (Paras u'Madai) Choshech (Darkness): Greece (Yavan) Tehom (The Depths): Rome/Edom (our current, seemingly endless exile) Immediately following this, the Torah states, "And the spirit of God hovered over the water," which refers to the spirit of Mashiach. Why Must We Suffer? If exile is built into creation, why is it necessary? The Maharal ( Netzach Yisrael , Ch. 15) explains that this world is not our true home . As the Mishnah in Pirkei Avot teaches, this world is merely an anteroom ( prozdor ) to the World to Come. The fact that we are constantly uprooted and persecuted is a reminder that we don't inherently belong in this physical domain; we belong in a higher, spiritual realm. Our painful exile is the difficult path toward ultimate greatness. We wear the title Bat Golim (Daughter of Exiles) with pride. It is a symbol of our cosmic displacement and a reminder that our true place is in the World to Come. We must not lose faith in the face of antisemitism or tragedy. It is painful, but it is a process built for our ultimate growth. The Father's Perspective: A Mashal from the Chasam Sofer In Berachot 3a , Rabbi Yose enters a ruin in Jerusalem to pray, and Eliyahu HaNavi waits for him outside. When Rabbi Yose finishes, Eliyahu asks him what he heard inside the ruin. Rabbi Yose responds that he heard a heavenly echo ( Bat Kol ) groaning like a dove, saying: "Woe to the children, that because of their sins I destroyed My house, burned My sanctuary, and exiled them among the nations." Eliyahu informs him that this occurs three times every single day. Furthermore, whenever the Jewish people enter a synagogue and declare " אמן יהא שמיה רבא " (Amen, may His great name be blessed), God shakes His head and says: "Fortunate is the King who is praised in His house! What is there for a Father who exiled His children? And woe to the children who were exiled from their Father's table." The Chasam Sofer makes a brilliant textual analysis here. Notice the phrasing: "Woe to the children" is stated, but when referring to God, it uses the milder phrase "What is there for a Father..." rather than "Woe to the Father." Why does God not groan for Himself in the same way? The Mashal (Parable) Imagine a man whose wife is in labor with their firstborn son. He is thrilled, anticipating the Brit Milah and the Pidyon Haben. Right now, his wife is screaming in agonizing pain. The husband feels her pain acutely, but he isn't despairing. Why? Because he can see the bigger picture. He visualizes the joy of the upcoming celebrations and the beautiful life ahead. We are currently experiencing Chevlei Mashiach —the birth pangs of the Messianic era. Like childbirth, the pain intensifies right before the ultimate joy. The Chasam Sofer explains that God is like that expectant father. He feels our pain, but He does not groan for Himself because He sees the staggering spiritual heights we are climbing. He sees the light we generate by pushing against the tide of exile. Stay tuned tomorrow as we discuss why the response of "Amen Yehei Shmei Raba" is so deeply moving to the Almighty.

A Sunday morning sermon by Pastor Brett Deal. Have you ever noticed how often Jesus was interrupted? It's kind of amazing how often people seemingly derailed what Jesus was doing so that He might see their situation. You've got to be pretty audacious (or desperate) to interrupt a respected rabbi while He's teaching!While Jesus was addressing John the Baptist's disciples, explaining why His ministry was blowing up their paradigms—they were trying to put His new Messianic wine into their old culturally acceptable wineskins—Jesus was interrupted. While Jesus was talking, Jairus knelt before Jesus, desperate for Jesus to raise His daughter back to life (Matthew 9.18). Jesus dropped everything and went with Him. He wasn't angry. He didn't make Him wait. Jesus heard his interruption and went with him. But no sooner did Jesus turn the corner when He felt a tug on His tunic. A woman with a persistent hemorrhage, which had plagued her for twelve years, was desperate too. She crouched through the crowd believing if she simply touched the hem of His garment she would be healed (an interruption inside an interruption!). We might be tempted, if we were Jairus, to tell her to get in line, take a number, and wait her turn. Our situation is time sensitive. But the truth is, Jesus is able to address all our needs. He can speak resurrection and restoration into all our lives (28.18). Reading these miracles again, as if for the first time, we see a Savior willing to be interrupted because He cares. His love for us is so great He goes with us. Even if all He needed to do was speak a word, He still walks with us to bring resurrection into our world. He still draws close enough to us where we can reach out and touch Him.Beloved, Jesus understands our needs and is willing to be interrupted and walk with us, to care for us, to turn to us and speak encouragement into our lives. Yes, Jesus is fully God, so He's able to meet our need. In the Gospel, we also see He is fully human, like us “in every respect, so that He might become a merciful and faithful high priest” (Hebrews 2.17). Friend, don't be shy today. Jesus is waiting to be interrupted.

Click here for more on this topic and other free resources - https://www.drjimrichards.com We're beginning the replay of one of the most important teaching series I've ever shared: 3 Days That Changed the World. Over the years, I've heard from so many people whose lives were transformed by these messages. If you've seen this series before, I encourage you to watch it again. If this is your first time, you're about to discover why it has become one of the most requested teachings we've ever produced. Most believers know what Jesus accomplished on the cross, but very few understand what happened from the cross to the throne. Yet that's exactly where the Bible tells us to anchor our faith. If you've ever wondered why God's promises seem difficult to experience, or why your faith sometimes feels like it's falling short, I want to challenge you to take this journey with me. You may discover that your faith isn't failing at all. You may simply be missing one of the most foundational truths in all of Scripture. In this first message, we'll begin exploring what happened during the three days between the cross and the resurrection, why those events are central to the gospel, and how understanding them can change the way you read the Bible and the way you walk with God. I believe this series has the potential to strengthen your faith, answer questions you've carried for years, and help you experience the confidence that comes from understanding the finished work of Jesus.

Send us Fan MailIn this episode, we continue our tour through the Psalms, stopping to notice the themes, connections, and biblical images that prepare us for deeper study later. Rather than diving into every detail, we're acting as tour guides, pointing out the landmarks that help us understand the bigger picture of the Psalms.We begin with Psalms 42 and 43, where the psalmist longs for the living God in a world filled with lifeless gods. As the psalmist wrestles with discouragement, he repeatedly finds hope in God's chesed—His steadfast, covenant love. We also discover why being in God's presence, at His house, was the source of true joy and delight for Israel.Moving through Psalms 44–50, we see a recurring message emerge: the God of Israel is the true King over every nation. Though Israel was a small nation surrounded by powerful empires, these psalms remind God's people that their King reigns above every earthly ruler and every false god. Along the way, we explore the Messianic hope found in Psalm 45, the comforting promises of Psalm 46, and the majestic descriptions of God's power and kingship that fill Psalms 47–49.Finally, Psalm 50 reminds us that God never desired sacrifices for their own sake. Sacrifices were never meant to "fix" sin; they were God's gracious means of restoring relationship with Him. That truth prepares us beautifully for Psalm 51, where we see that genuine repentance and God's mercy bring the forgiveness that every sinner needs.Throughout these psalms, one message rises above the rest: our God is the living King. He reigns over every nation, remains faithful through His steadfast love, and continually invites His people into His presence.If you want the FREE hand outs that go along with this series, sign up for our newsletter at our website. Our website is The Context and Color of the BibleWe are on Facebook - The Context and Color of the Bible | FacebookWe are on Instagram - @contextandcolorofthebibleWe are on YouTube - The Context and Color of the Bible - YouTubeMusic: Tabuk by Kevin MacLeod Link: https://incompetech.filmmusic.io/song/4453-tabukLicense: http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/

The psalmists spoke of the coming Messiah 1,000 years before Jesus' birth—and their prophecies were fulfilled with perfect accuracy in Christ. But what do these Messianic psalms mean for believers today, 2,000 years after His first coming? In today's episode of the MY Devotional Podcast, Dr. Michael Youssef reminds us that the psalmists were people just like us: full of courage and confidence one moment, yet crying out in anguish and longing the next. The Messianic psalms—such as Psalms 2, 16, and 110—teach us that no matter what emotions we bring or what circumstances we face, we can come freely before God. He is awesome and mighty, yet He is also our loving provider. His steadfast love is from everlasting to everlasting for those who fear Him. Dr. Youssef also explains that while Christ has already come, believers are still looking ahead to a more glorious day: His return. The psalmists call us to remember God's saving work in our lives, prepare now by yielding every part of ourselves to the King of kings, and hope joyfully for the promised future—life forever in the presence of the Lord in the new heaven and new earth. Prayer: My Lord and King, my hope is in You. Help me to remember Your goodness, prepare for Your coming, and anticipate the future consummation of Your purposes—Your eternal Kingdom. I pray in the name of Jesus. Amen.  “Now faith is confidence in what we hope for and assurance about what we do not see” (Hebrews 11:1). Learn more in Dr. Michael A.

Send us Fan MailIn this episode, we explore several psalms that deepen our understanding of God's character and the life of faith. We begin with Psalm 17 and the Hebrew idiom "the apple of Your eye," discovering the powerful image David uses to describe God's protection and care for His people.Next, we dive into Psalm 18, examining the rich imagery David uses to describe God as his rock, fortress, and deliverer. We also wrestle with David's claim to be "blameless" and see how it connects back to the righteous person described in Psalm 1.We then look at Psalms 20 and 21 as a pair. Psalm 20 records the people's prayers and requests for the king, while Psalm 21 celebrates God's answer. Along the way, we see how Psalm 21 reaches beyond David and points us back to the Messianic hope introduced in Psalm 2.Finally, we turn to Psalm 37, where the psalmist provides practical guidance for living faithfully in difficult times. Even when life is hard and the wicked seem to prosper, God's people are called to trust, delight, commit, wait, and rest in Him, knowing that He is their help and deliverer.If you want the FREE hand outs that go along with this series, sign up for our newsletter at our website. Our website is The Context and Color of the BibleWe are on Facebook - The Context and Color of the Bible | FacebookWe are on Instagram - @contextandcolorofthebibleWe are on YouTube - The Context and Color of the Bible - YouTubeMusic: Tabuk by Kevin MacLeod Link: https://incompetech.filmmusic.io/song/4453-tabukLicense: http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/

What if many of us have been taught to read the Bible in a way it was never meant to be read? In this special live event recorded by Upper House, BibleProject co-founder Tim Mackie returns to Madison — the city where he earned his PhD in Hebrew Bible and Jewish Studies at UW–Madison and pastored at Blackhawk Church — to share the story behind one of the most widely used Bible-teaching resources in the world.Tim traces the origins of BibleProject to a coffee-shop conversation with his old college friend Jon Collins, a successful maker of animated explainer videos who had quietly become a “post-Bible Christian.” Their shared question — how do you engage Scripture well? — became the heartbeat of the project. Tim contrasts the “reference book” Bible many of us inherited (turn to the right verse, find the answer) with a richer vision of Scripture as ancient Jewish literary art designed to form wise, mature human beings over a lifetime.Along the way, he unpacks seven core convictions that have guided BibleProject from the beginning — three about where the Bible comes from, and four about what it is for — closing with the practice of meditation (the Hebrew hagah) and an invitation to try again with Scripture, whatever your history with it.Whether you've loved the Bible, struggled with it, or aren't sure what to make of it, this conversation offers a fresh invitation to see Scripture as a unified, beautiful, and transformative story that leads to Jesus.The Seven Convictions (At a Glance)Where the Bible is from:Collaborative literature — human authors and God's Spirit meeting, not passive dictation.Unified literature — one interconnected story leading to Jesus.Ancient literature — written for us, but not to us; context matters.What the Bible is for:Messianic literature — every theme sets up and finds fulfillment in Jesus.Communal literature — designed to be read aloud together over a lifetime.Wisdom literature — forming us to discern good from bad, not just memorize answers.Meditation literature — hagah: slow, repeated reading that rewards a lifetime of return.About the GuestTim Mackie is co-founder and lead scholar of BibleProject. He holds a PhD in Hebrew Bible and Jewish Studies from the University of Wisconsin–Madison and a degree in theology from Western Seminary in Portland. His research focused on the manuscript history of the Bible and the formation of the biblical canon — including his dissertation on the book of Ezekiel, with particular attention to the Septuagint and Dead Sea Scrolls. After years of ministry as a local-church pastor (including at Madison's Blackhawk Church and later Door of Hope in Portland) and as a professor at Western Seminary, Tim now serves as lead scholar and creative director at BibleProject. He lives in Portland with his wife, Jessica, and their two sons.https://bibleproject.com/ Send us Fan MailCONNECT WITH USSubscribe to The UpWords Podcast wherever you listen to podcasts and visit slbf.org/studio to learn more about our work at the intersection of faith, the academy, and the marketplace.This episode was created by the SLBF STUDIO at Upper House.Produced by Daniel Johnson and Dave ConourEdited by Dave Conour

Jesus claimed that Moses wrote about him long before he ever walked the earth as man. If that's true, how could anyone miss Jesus in the words of Moses?

John McKee discusses the development of the production of the commentary James for the Practical Messianic, originally in 2005, changed the early course of our ministry.

Messianic Apologetics editor John McKee surveys the Book of Judges from a Messianic perspective.

Songs of Faith

Messianic Apologetics editor John McKee reviews how most people within today's Messianic sphere of influence, have either substantially changed or overhauled some theological position or view they once held. Sometimes this came as new evidence and perspectives were considered. Often, experience was a cause of change. How has this been a significant “faith builder” for many?

Send us Fan MailAre Christians required to keep the Law of Moses? Is the seventh-day Sabbath still binding under the New Covenant, or was it fulfilled in Christ? In this conversation, host Mike Colburn sits down with Dr. R. L. Solberg, author of Torahism and founder of The Biblical Roots Ministries, to work through the questions his audience asks him about most: the law, the Sabbath, the New Covenant, and what changed when Jesus said, "It is finished."Dr. Solberg has spent years answering the Hebrew Roots, Torah-keeping, and Messianic movements. Those arguments turn out to be the mirror image of what so many of us inherited in Adventism. If you've ever been told that "sin is the transgression of the law," that the Ten Commandments are what's written on our hearts, or that keeping the Sabbath is a test of loyalty to God, this one is for you.#apologetics #sda #theology #hebrewrootsThe Biblical Roots MinistriesOur websiteOur YouTube ChannelProf. Solberg's BlogSupport our Ministry (Thank you!)What if Christmas felt sacred again?

In this opening lesson of the Gate of Repentance (Shaar HaTeshuvah) from Orchot Tzaddikim, Rabbi Aryeh Wolbe explains that repentance is one of the greatest gifts Hashem ever gave humanity. As we approach Rosh Hashanah and Yom Kippur, the message is clear: no matter how far a person has strayed, the moment they sincerely turn back toward Hashem, they are welcomed with open arms. Repentance is not about perfection—it is about reaching out for Divine help and allowing Hashem to lift us from our mistakes and guide us toward a fresh beginning. The episode explores a remarkable Talmudic teaching that Teshuvah reaches all the way to the Heavenly Throne of Glory. Through a vivid description of Moshe ascending the seven firmaments, Rabbi Wolbe explains how each level of Heaven praises a different spiritual ideal, yet at the highest level the angels praise repentance. This demonstrates that teshuvah is among the most elevated forces in creation. In fact, the Talmud teaches that repentance was created before the world itself, alongside the Torah, Gan Eden, Gehenom, the Beis HaMikdash, the Throne of Glory, and the name of Mashiach. Rabbi Wolbe further explains that the Torah is the instruction manual for life. Just as every complex creation requires a blueprint, the world was created with a Divine manual to guide humanity toward success. Since human beings inevitably make mistakes, Hashem created repentance before creation itself, ensuring that failure would never be final. The lesson is one of hope, accountability, and optimism: every person can return, repair, and grow. The episode concludes with a vision of the Messianic era, when the world will be filled with Divine wisdom and clarity, and humanity will fully recognize its purpose—to know Hashem and serve Him. _____________This Podcast Series is Generously Underwritten by Peter & Becky BotvinRecorded at TORCH Centre in the Levin Family Studios (B) to a live audience on September 8, 2025, in Houston, Texas.Released as Podcast on June 7, 2026_____________This series on Orchos Tzadikim/Ways of the Righteous is produced in partnership with Hachzek.Join the revolution of daily Mussar study at hachzek.com.We are using the Treasure of Life edition of the Orchos Tzadikkim (Published by Feldheim)_____________Listen, Subscribe & Share: Apple Podcasts: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/jewish-inspiration-podcast-rabbi-aryeh-wolbe/id1476610783Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/4r0KfjMzmCNQbiNaZBCSU7) to stay inspired! Share your questions at aw@torchweb.org or visit torchweb.org for more Torah content.  _____________About the Host:Rabbi Aryeh Wolbe, Director of TORCH in Houston, brings decades of Torah scholarship to guide listeners in applying Jewish wisdom to daily life.  To directly send your questions, comments, and feedback, please email: awolbe@torchweb.org_____________Support Our Mission:Our Mission is Connecting Jews & Judaism.
