Podcasts about twelve tribes

This episode is sponsored in part by Betterhelp. We're back with Part 2 of our conversation with Tamara Mathieu—and if you thought Part 1 was wild, just wait. This time, Tammy walks us through what finally pushed her family to leave the Twelve Tribes, including a hollow diet, some serious double standards, and a clandestine late-night escape from their Florida commune. She shares what it's like to rejoin the outside world after years of being told it was evil (spoiler: it's weird), how Rite Aid and a bag of Hershey's Kisses helped rewire her brain, and what healing looks like when you're doing it for both yourself and your kids. We also talk about her book, All Who Believed, part memoir, part survival manual, for anyone trying to make sense of life after leaving a high-control group. If you missed Part 1, hit pause and go back. You'll want the full story.

This episode is sponsored in part by Betterhelp. Twelve Tribes started as a Bible study in the 1970s. Today, it's a nationwide network of high-control communities, often hiding in plain sight behind the homespun charm of Yellow Deli cafés. The group claims to offer a simpler, more spiritual life. But behind the braided bread and “family values” lies a world of control, corporal punishment, and deep-rooted misogyny. In Part 1 of our conversation with Tamara Mathieu, we hear what it's like to live inside. Tammy spent 14 years in the Twelve Tribes, lured in by the promise of community and stability at a vulnerable time in her life. But what began as a warm welcome quickly turned into an authoritarian nightmare, especially for women and children. She shares how the group isolates members, enforces biblical patriarchy, and punishes dissent, and what it took to finally break free. To learn more about Tammy's journey, check out her memoir All Who Believed, a raw and powerful account of survival and escape.

On August 2, 1831 a group of saints gathered twelve miles west of Independence in Kaw township. Twelve men, representing the Twelve Tribes of Israel, laid a log as a “foundation in Zion.” Before Sidney Rigdon offered the dedicatory prayer, he asked the saints gathered there, Do you pledge yourselves to keep the laws of God on this land, which you never have kept in your own lands? [The audience responded,] “we do.” Do you pledge yourselves to see that others of your brethren who shall come hither do keep the laws of God? [Those present again said,] we do. After [the dedicatory] prayer [Elder Rigdon] arose and said, I now pronounce this land consecrated and dedicated to the Lord for a possession and inheritance for the Saints (in the name of Jesus Christ having authority from him). And for all the faithful servants of the Lord to the remotest ages of time. Amen” (Institute Manual, Church History, 107). From that time until October 1838, the Saints sought to build Zion in Missouri. Establishing a Zion society proved difficult. The Lord warned them in 1831 that Zion's glory would only come “after much tribulation” (D&C 58:4). Are you ready for Zion?

While Pope Francis simmers in the Ninth Circle with the Rev J. Iscariot (perhaps the first Evangelical Zionist), I thought it wise to warn Christians how to avoid becoming a Judeo-Christian.  And how to “come out of her,” as it is said. Consider this a cheat sheet rather than a treatise: 1) The state called Israel today, on the shore of the Mediterranean, is not the same as the ancient children of Israel. 2) Jesus Christ knew what the prophets said, His Spirit inspired the Prophets. So when Jesus Christ says that Jews are the devil's spawn He does not contradict Himself. 3) Modern Judeo-Christians reject Christ's statement that Jews are the devil's spawn and Satan's synagogue and replace Christ's Theology with a Jewish fable, which is that Jews are God's “chosen.” 4) Jews are liars (John 8:44, Rev 3:9). So why would a Christian ever adopt a Jewish interpretation of anything? 5) “Israel” (the dirt in the Middle-East) is not “Israel” the offspring of Jacob. 6) Living in the dirt called Israel (in the Middle East)   does not make anyone the offspring of Jacob/Israel. 7) Many different ethnicities converted to become Jew in the Bible, starting with Esther 8:17, proceeding to Matthew 23:15, and continuing in the Book of Acts. This continues today — Ivanka Trump became Jew recently. Centuries ago the wild tribe of Khazarians converted en-mass and became Jews and they make up about 80% of all Jews today, they call themselves Ashkenazi Jews. (Askenaz was a tribe for Japheth, not of Shem). The sons of of Esau (Edom) converted en-masse to become Jews about a century before the time of Christ; King Herod was an Edomite Jew — they make up a good portion of the “Sephardic” Jews. 8) What happened, then to the tribes of Israel? The Tribes of Israel dispersed to Europe and then converted to Jesus Christ as Europe became Christendom. What proof? a.  The Jews themselves testify that the the Dispora went to Europe: John 7:35 b.  When the Europeans came to see Jesus, Jesus said now was His own time for glory. John 12:23 c.  European man, Pontius Pilate, declared Jesus Christ innocent three times. d.  The Jews disowned Jesus Christ, demanded HIs crucifixion, and said they had “no King but Ceasar.” John 19:15 e.  Jesus Christ said that He came “only for the lost sheep of the House of Israel.” Jesus did not abandon Israel. f.  In order to reach Israel, He sends the Apostles away from Jerusalem in order to reach the Dispersion of Israel. g.  In order to reach the Dispersion of Israel, who went to Europe, every book of the New Testament is written in the premier European language (Greek). The New Testament is ONLY in that European language because that is where the Twelve Tribes disperse to. h.  There is NO epistle to a non-European place name; there is no Epistle to Africa or China or the New Word. i.  There is no epistle to Jerusalem or Judea or Samaria. j.  Every Epistle is written to European places (Rome, Corinth, Thessaloniki, Galatia, etc. or refers to European churches and Christians. k. Epistles written to individuals (like Timothy) refer to Europen places). Timothy Himself had a European father. Titus is a European name. l. All Seven of the Churches of the Revelation are European — they were cities founded and colonized by the Greeks and Romans. m. There is no prayer for the “Peace of Jerusalem” in the New Testament; rather, every Epistle has a prayer for the peace of the Church or individual Christians. Jerusalem, the dusty city, is desolate. n.  As the Twelve Tribes converted to Jesus Christ (which they have over the last two-thousand years) they ‘have already come” to Mount Zion and the heavenly Jerusalem. (Hebrew 12:22). They should look for no other home than that. o.  Romans 11: 25-26: A partial hardening of Israel (NOT the Jews) happened until the fullness of the the Gentiles come in and in that manner, or by this way, all Israel is saved: “And in this way all Israel will be saved” Romans 11:26 ESV p.  Jews are hostile to all nations and ethnic groups (1 Thes 2;15). Jews are not a blessing to the nations. It is the Christian European nations that brought the Blessing of Jesus Christ to the entire world: Africa, China, and the Western Hemisphere. This the Jews did not do; rather, the Jews prevent people from hearing the Gospel in order that they may be saved (1 Thes 2:16, and the entire book of Acts). q. Noahs' prophecy in Genesis 9:27 is linked to Romans 11:26.  The Europeans would dwell under the tent/cover/salvation brough via Shem's family. There is nothing that suggest that “Jews” are God's chosen people. Israel? Yes. But modern Jews are not “Israel,” rather they are liars, frauds and identity thieves (John 8:44, Rev 3:9). Christians are warned in Titus about Jewish myths (Titus 1:10-14). Claiming that “Jesus is a Jew” is one of them. Jesus is the Nazarene and a Galilean. The Father of Jesus Christ is not even remotely a Jew. Jesus Christ is the son of David and David's Lord at the same time. But reducing Jesus to a “Jew” is calling him a child of Satan (John 8:44) and a member of the synagogue of the devil (Rev 3:9, Rev 2:9). Jesus Christ is the Creator of all things. John 1 and Hebrews 1.

Understanding Numbers 1 – A Simple Explanation What is Numbers 1 about? Numbers 1 is the first chapter of the book of Numbers in the Bible. It tells the story of how God instructed Moses to take a census (a count) of the Israelites while they were in the wilderness. This happened after they had escaped from Egypt and were preparing to enter the land God had promised them. Key Points from Numbers 1: 1.God Commands a Census •God tells Moses to count all the men who are 20 years old or older and able to fight in the army. •The counting is done by tribes, which were named after the 12 sons of Jacob (Israel). 2.The Twelve Tribes are Counted •Each tribe had a leader who helped with the counting. •The tribes were: Reuben, Simeon, Judah, Issachar, Zebulun, Ephraim, Manasseh, Benjamin, Dan, Asher, Gad, and Naphtali. •The total number of fighting men counted was 603,550. 3.The Levites Were Not Counted •The tribe of Levi was not included in the census because God gave them a special job—to take care of the Tabernacle (a holy tent where God's presence was). •Instead of fighting in the army, the Levites were responsible for the worship and service of God. Why Is Numbers 1 Important? •It shows that God was organizing the Israelites before leading them into the Promised Land. •It teaches obedience—Moses and the leaders followed God's instructions exactly. •It reminds us that everyone has a specific role—some were warriors, while the Levites were caretakers of worship. How Does It Apply Today? •God is a God of order, and He prepares people for what is ahead. •Just like the Israelites had different roles, we all have unique purposes in life. •Following God's guidance leads to success and protection. Numbers 1 may seem like just a list of names and numbers, but it teaches us trust, organization, and obedience—things that are still important today!Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/sendme-radio--732966/support.

A congressional resolution this week was passed with bipartisan support in declaration that Israel is not a racist or apartheid state. Only nine Democrats voted against, but this is likely due to their detest for religion. Israel's President Isaac Herzog was also in Congress this week to criticize Iran's nuclear program, despite Israel itself having hundreds of nuclear weapons, and to tell America that Israel is a purely democratic state. American perception is changing, however, with a Gallup poll showing a new high of 31% of citizens now siding with Palestinians. Israel, in reality, is a proxy of the United States and both countries have agreed to use and exploit Jewish identity for political and financial gains. Benjamin Netanyahu, Prime Minster of the country, once said that this identity and the history of Jewish suffering is what makes them morally superior to all others, a clear extension of the line that they are God's Chosen People. How different is this from the Master Race of Nazism? Such a belief creates a vacuum for horrendous crimes to be carried out, like Nazism, in the aims of a defined goal. Jewish comedian Roseanne pointed this out recently in an interview, yelling at Piers Morgan that just because Volodymyr Zelenskyy is Jewish doesn't mean he is a good guy. In fact, what Zelenskyy is doing is turning Ukraine into what he called “Big-Israel,” i.e. another U.S. proxy state to launder money, ship weapons, and wage war.Any criticism or acknowledgment of such facts conjures the accusation of anti-semitism, despite a semite being anyone who speaks a semitic language. In other words, Arabs are semites but a person who cannot speak Hebrew who converts to Judaism is not a semite. Likewise, the term Israel translates to God is a Warrior, a reference to the power of god manifesting throughout the entirety of Creation. The nation of Israel is not made of a singular people but of all mankind and nature. For MANKIND is God's CHOSEN PEOPLE. The Twelve Tribes are thus the signs of the animal wheel or Zodiac. The Holy land is furthermore a state of mind, or what Joseph Campbell called “a corner of the heart, or it is any environment that has been mythologically spiritualized.” The capital of perverse sexuality was Berlin in the 1920s but that has since shifted to Tel Aviv, Israel, where Jewish publications are proud of their support for all things sexually unique. Is it any wonder that Hollywood, Disney, and Black Rock, all with disproportionate Jewish influences, produce material and influence culture and business along these lines?Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-secret-teachings-with-ryan-gable--5328407/support.

A vacuum, an echo chamber, confirmation bias — all things that will detour you from learning the truth about any subject. This week Michael challenges us to get out of the vacuum of faith and personal belief because it is the thing that will stop anyone from discovering the truth.  As the discussion moves forward […] The post 241018 The Twelve Tribes of Israel and The 1,000 Year Reign of Christ first appeared on Gospel Revolution.com.

After the phenomenal success of her first novel, "The Twelve Tribes of Hattie", author Ayana Mathis returns with a story that shifts between 1980s Philadelphia and a mythical Black utopia in Alabama. She tells us about finding inspiration in a particular moment of American history – of dashed hopes and failed social projects – and discusses the challenge of creating three-dimensional characters, including their flaws. We also talk about the upcoming US presidential election and Ayana tells us about an unexpected encounter with Oprah Winfrey herself.

Tamara's story is both heart-wrenching and enlightening, depicting her young family's initial search for a community that promised peace and spiritual fulfillment, only to find themselves ensnared in a reality marked by control and abuse. Her narrative is a poignant exploration of the human desire for belonging and the resilience required to break free from manipulation. Listeners of Storycomic Presents were treated to an intimate account of Tamara's experiences, from the challenging dynamics within the Twelve Tribes to her courageous escape and the subsequent challenges of reintegrating into society. Her story is an inspiration, highlighting her transformation from a seeker of external validation to a beacon of strength and self-assurance. Tamara's discussions on the podcast were not only a reflection of her personal growth but also an educational journey into the realities of life in a cult-like setting. Her insights are invaluable for anyone interested in the complexities of religious communities, the psychology of belonging, and the enduring strength of the human spirit to overcome adversity.   The Title sequence was designed and created by Morgan Quaid.

When you hear someone say, “If we just stick together,” it is always spoken by an individual. In truth, this individual is saying, “If you just stick with me, I will provide an outcome, and ensure a benefit.”That mechanism—“stick with me and I will provide”—is, in fact, what St. Paul describes as the power of death. It is a threat. Stick with me or else.The use of the pronoun “we” cloaks death in the garment of connection. This threat is the same evil “we” that funds death while giving campaign speeches about "sticking together.”It is the anthem of fascism. Can you hear its song in your music? Never “go back” to what? You are already what you fear.There is no question that care for the flock is paramount in Scripture. Love of neighbor and table fellowship are the only matter at hand in the commandment. The problem is, who is the “I” of the matter, that you cloak with your idolatrous “we”?To whom does the flock pertain?Colonial scholars get caught up with the Twelve Tribes in the Old Testament...but “there is only one Shepherd in the Bible, which means one flock, no matter how many tribes you find.” (Dark Sayings, p. 84)That's why the Scribes and the Pharisees were looking for a reason to accuse Jesus in Luke; that's also why Jesus understood their intention. Not because he was a mind reader—but because reactionary, insecure people who believe in their own values and are willing to ignore human suffering to cling to power in defense of their fake “we” are easy to understand.You do not need a degree in psychology to predict their thoughts, let alone their next move.All you need do is emasculate them; liberate what they have bound up; and tear down down what they have built up.Nonviolently, with much love, and in a spirit of fellowship.You can't do that in congress, Habibi. But you can do it in Scripture.This week, I discuss Luke 6:8-11. (Episode 529) ★ Support this podcast on Patreon ★

Friends of the Rosary, Today, July 26th, is the Memorial of Saints Joachim and Anne, the parents of the Blessed Virgin Mary and the grandparents of Jesus.The couple's faith and perseverance brought them from the sorrow of childlessness to the joy of conceiving and raising the immaculate and sinless woman who would give birth to Christ. Joachim, a wealthy member of one of the Twelve Tribes of Israel, and his wife Anne were deeply grieved by their childlessness. They regarded it as a surpassing misfortune and a sign of shame among the tribes of Israel. Joachim and Anne began to devote themselves to rigorous prayer and fasting in isolation from one another and society. An angel would later reveal this to Anne: “The Lord has heard your prayer, and you shall conceive and shall bring forth, and your seed shall be spoken of in all the world.” Joachim and Anne decided that Mary would be offered to God as a consecrated Virgin and enter a chaste marriage with the carpenter Joseph. The Catholic Church invokes this saintly couple as the patron of grandparents and a model of Christian marriage. Our devotion to Anne and Joachim reflects our affection toward the Blessed Mother. Ave Maria!Jesus, I Trust In You!St. James, Pray for Us! Come, Holy Spirit, come! To Jesus through Mary! + Mikel Amigot | RosaryNetwork.com, New York • ⁠July 26, 2024, Today's Rosary on YouTube | Daily broadcast at 7:30 pm ET

In August 2000, 23-year-old Tamara Mathieu and her husband left good jobs, gave up everything, and joined a cult. For 14 years, they were members of Twelve Tribes, which the Southern Poverty Law Center describes as “a Christian fundamentalist cult” that has been accused of child abuse, child labor, racism and misogyny. The Twelve Tribes made national news in 1984 when their Island Pond community, which was then known as the Northeast Kingdom Community Church, was raided by Vermont State Police and 112 children were detained in response to allegations of child abuse. A judge later dismissed the cases, ruling that the raid was unconstitutional.The Twelve Tribes “sees persecution as proof that they're God's people,” said Mathieu.Mathieu, her husband and four children left the Twelve Tribes in 2014. She now works for Northwestern Counseling and Support Services in St. Albans as a facilitator of day programs for adults with developmental disabilities. She has just written a book, “All Who Believed: A Memoir of Life in the Twelve Tribes.”The Twelve Tribes attracted “people who don't want to fit into the 9-to-5 rat race of society, and they want this life of love and caring for each other and community,” explained Mathieu. “Suddenly, you're surrounded by this group of people who are just enamored by you who are giving you all this praise and encouragement.”Leaving the cult “was terrifying,” said Mathieu. “We had lived in this bubble and raised our children in this bubble. And then to come out, it's like you are bombarded with stimuli that haven't been a part of your life. I felt like a new parent. All I had done all those years was just spank my children for everything they ever did wrong. And I knew that we didn't want to continue on that practice, but what do you do? Like, a timeout?”Mathieu hopes that people who read her book see it as a cautionary tale. “Your personal freedom and your ability to make decisions for you and your family is really a priceless thing. I wouldn't give that up for anything anymore.”She also noted that cults are everywhere. “People might not really even realize what's going on right next door.”

Throughout the world, there are many groups claiming to be descendants of the twelve tribes of Israel.  They range from the Samaritans, the modern Jews, to the Mormons, Beta Israel, and others. How accurate are these claims? How have they changed over the years? And why do so many make this claim? Support the show

The twelve tribes did not have much in common at first. However, as the Philistines emerged as a common enemy, they learned to cooperate and developed common political and religious institutions. We examine how the god of Israel became more important, how the gods Israelites worshipped at home or in tribal altars became less central, and why. Support the show

How Does God Say I Love You, Part 4: Violation of the Covenant MESSAGE SUMMARY: “Rejecting the Covenant and the God of the Covenant will eventually lead a person to a place of stubbornness, hardness of heart, and then their destruction.” Throughout human history, God has reached out to humans for a personal relationship and to express His love for humankind. We have a God that loves us so much, and God's love for us is expressed to us through His “covenants”. Also, God's “covenants” reveal to us His grace and faithfulness. In today's message, we will discuss God's Covenant with Moses. A “covenant” can be defined as an “oath or promise of God”. In a Biblical covenant: 1) God establishes the Covenant; 2) God always implies that “I am your God, and you are my people” – God desires a personal relationship with us; and 3) God sets the Covenant's terms and rulers. We begin by looking at Israel's current king in 2 Chronicles 36, King Zedekiah, who was successor descendant of King David and a Godly father, King Josiah. We need to remember that King David had built the kingdom and the nation of Israel into a great nation through a foundation of a commitment to God and the Covenant God had given to His people – King David made God His priority, and David made God's priorities his priorities. God is interested in those who seek first His kingdom. Also, from King David's life, we know that God expects one who sins to repent and return to Him. David's son, Solomon, tells us to “fear God and keep His commandments”. After King Solomon, God's people experienced a series of Kings – some who kept God's Covenant and some who do not keep God's Covenant. Subsequently, David's single Kingdom, that brought together the Twelve Tribes, is divided into the northern kingdom of Israel and the southern kingdom of Judah. Zedekiah is in deep trouble and in an impossible situation with Babylon laying siege to Jerusalem. Rather than calling on God for help, Zedekiah sends an envoy to Egypt. Zedekiah has rejected God and God's Covenant (2 Chronicles 36:12-14): “He did what was evil in the sight of the LORD his God. He did not humble himself before Jeremiah the prophet, who spoke from the mouth of the LORD. He also rebelled against King Nebuchadnezzar, who had made him swear by God. He stiffened his neck and hardened his heart against turning to the LORD, the God of Israel. All the officers of the priests and the people likewise were exceedingly unfaithful, following all the abominations of the nations. And they polluted the house of the LORD that he had made holy in Jerusalem.". In desperation, Zedekiah now appeals to the Prophet Jeremiah for a miracle from God, whom he had rejected, to save his kingdom from the attack by Babylon's King Nebuchadnezzar (Jerimiah 21). God answers Zedekiah's plea for salvation through Jerimiah in Jerimiah 21:5-7: “'I {God} myself will fight against you with outstretched hand and strong arm, in anger and in fury and in great wrath. And I will strike down the inhabitants of this city, both man and beast. They shall die of a great pestilence. Afterward', declares the LORD, ‘I will give Zedekiah king of Judah and his servants and the people in this city who survive the pestilence, sword, and famine into the hand of Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon and into the hand of their enemies, into the hand of those who seek their lives.'". Our God is a Covenant God, and He keeps His Covenants. When the people of God obeyed their Covenant with God they were blessed; but when they disobeyed, they were cursed – just like the people under King Zedekiah. The significance of the Scripture from 2 Chronicles 36 and Jerimiah 21 for us today: 1) God is a Covenant God; 2) as recipients of the New Covenant through Jesus, we are assured of God's forgiveness; 3) rejecting the Covenant and the God of the Covenant will eventually lead us to a place of stubbornness, hardness of heart, and then to our destruction; 4) God will try again and again to draw us back to Himself, but if we are hardened we don't hear God; and 5) our relationship with God is based solely on our relationship with God and not God's relationship with others – Zedekiah's father was a Godly man who did great things for his people, but Zedekiah's unfaithful relationship with God and God's Covenant brought destruction to Zedekiah and his kingdom. God desires a personal relationship with each of us, and God has given us His Covenants upon which to build our relationship with Him. Have you asked Jesus into your life so that your sin is atoned? If not, then there is a blot between you and God. Remember, the God who made Covenant with Moses is Jesus of our Trinitarian God.   TODAY'S PRAYER: Keeping the Sabbath, Lord, will require a lot of changes in the way I am living life. Teach me, Lord, how to take the next step with this in a way that fits my unique personality and situation. Help me to trust you with all that will remain unfinished and to enjoy my humble place in your very large world. In Jesus' name, amen.    Scazzero, Peter. Emotionally Healthy Spirituality Day by Day (p. 129). Zondervan. Kindle Edition. TODAY'S AFFIRMATION: Today, I affirm that because of what God has done for me in His Son, Jesus, I AM FORGIVEN. If we confess our sins, He is faithful and just and will forgive us our sins and purify us from all unrighteousness. 1 John 1:9 SCRIPTURE REFERENCE (ESV): 2 Chronicles 36:11-23; Jerimiah 21:1-10; Hebrews 3:12-15; Psalms 49:1-20.

The twelve tribes of Israel come from the 12 sons of Joseph, at least according to Genesis. But the number of tribes and their names change over time and in different parts of the bible. Were there really twelve tribes? When did they cooperated and when did they fight? What does archaeology tell us about their existence? And why did the authors of the Tanakh stress their importance so much? We have the full story. Support the show

Fr. Mike talks about the twelve tribes of Israel and explains why the book of Numbers introduces them based on the number of decedents they each had. Today we read Numbers 2, Deuteronomy 2, and Psalm 85. For the complete reading plan, visit ascensionpress.com/bibleinayear.

This episode was recorded live at Woodford Folk Festival on 1 January 2024. Many people in the audience would have come across the Twelve Tribes previously at that very festival, as they used to build a big Common Ground cafe by the lake where tens of thousands of festival-goers ate and drank over the years.Numerous wonderful people have devoted themselves to the communities and the lifestyle of the Twelve Tribes. Thousands of fantastic individuals and families are truly dedicated to a way of life that in certain respects has a lot to offer. Their positive experiences, however, don't negate the stories of those who have come out with less positive things to say. And it's important to understand why there have been numerous stories with similar themes of harm that have come out of this group over the decades since they formed.Full research sources listed here.

In today's very spooky episode of Backpacker Radio presented by The Trek, we are joined by Andrea Lankford, author of “Trail of the Lost: The Relentless Search to Bring Home the Missing Hikers of the Pacific Crest Trail.” Andrea's book, and thus our conversation, keys in on the story of three missing hikers on the PCT, all happening in consecutive years between 2015 and 2017. We talk about the specific details of each of these cases, how the official authorities could've done better in their searches, how the community rallied to offer their assistance, Andrea's speculation of what ultimately happened in each case, specific search and rescue tactics, and much more. We wrap the show by sharing a couple of stories about spooky incidents that have happened to us on trail, the triple crown of Halloween songs that slap, and we offer some details of the holiday hiker meetup. We also touch on the deeply saddening news of Donna Sauffley's passing, who was not only a beloved guest on this podcast but also a renowned trail angel.

Thanks for joining us for another episode of the Max Lucado Encouraging Word Podcast. In this episode, we're talking about family. Perhaps you've known your share of family drama. Jacob's family knew drama. And yet, they might be the most influential family in history – the Twelve Tribes of Israel. Their story reminds us God works through even the most crooked family tree. Max shares more of Jacob's story and God's never-ending grace in his new book God Never Gives Up on You. Visit MaxLucado.com for more information.

The Twelve Tribes, the religious chameleon that goes by more names than Frank Abagnale. We're talking about the Vine Christian Community Church, or you may know them as the Northeast Kingdom Community Church? No, doesn't it ring a bell? How about the Messianic Communities?, No?....you must have heard of the Community Apostolic Order…com'on.  So, what do they believe?, Well, it's a casserole of Christian fundamentalism, Hebrew Roots movement, Messianic Judaism, and the Sacred Name Movement. They also believe everyone else is full of shit and can't be trusted, and they got it all figured out. So, they're flying solo without attaching themselves to any other denomination. Now, brace yourselves for some controversy in this one(as well as child abuse). These Tribes folks have some strict rules, which'll make your head spin. So buckle up we're going to the Yellow Deli!

Fr. Mike talks about the twelve tribes of Israel and explains why the book of Numbers introduces them based on the number of decedents they each had. Today we read Numbers 2, Deuteronomy 2, and Psalm 85. For the complete reading plan, visit ascensionpress.com/bibleinayear.
