Shalom Truth-Seekers in Yeshua Messiah. This is the first installment in a series of detailed teaching on the Hebrew concept of “covenant” (or “Berit”) and its foundational role in the faith and salvation of God's (i.e. Yehovah's) chosen ones. In this installment we introduce the Hebrew concept of covenant by exploring the term's meaning. We also emphasize its significance as a sacred, legally binding relationship between Yehovah (God) and His chosen people, Yisra'el/Yasharal, with its physical and spiritual implications for all humanity. The teaching critiques denominational misunderstandings and highlights covenant's Torah roots and its wider scriptural (i.e. both Tanach and Brit HaDashah) importance. Introduction to the Covenant Series We begin by recalling a previous post on Genesis 12:3. The title of that post is: Does "I Will Bless Those Who Bless and Curse Those Who Curse," Apply to the Modern Nation of Israel? (If you've not had the opportunity to listen to or read that post, we humbly invite you to do so by clicking this link https://www.themessianictorahobserver.org/2025/06/28/does-i-will-bless-those-who-bless-and-curse-those-who-curse-apply-to-the-modern-nation-of-israel/) In that post we clarified that the verse is not a command to bless the modern nation-state of Israel. But rather the verse is a prescriptive covenant provision. This provision states that those who treat God's chosen people, according to Torah principles, receive Yah's favor, while those who mistreat them face divine harm. And thus, covenant is central to God's relationship with His covenant people, Israel/Yisra'el/Yasharal. And it was that post that has prompted this covenant teaching series. In this series, we will explore the refined and broader principles of covenant that link it to God's/Yah's Grand Plan of Salvation, Restoration, and Redemption through the Person and Ministries of Yeshua HaMashiyach. Also in this post, we stress that denominational Christianity often fails to grasp the true Hebrew concept of covenant's significance because of their overall rejection of Torah and Hebraic principles. Because of denominationalism's wholesale rejection of Torah and Hebraic principles, they fail to recognize that the covenant is the sole pathway to a true relationship with God/Yehovah. That God-human relationship was established originally with Abraham and came to its fullest realization in the Person and Ministries of Yeshua Messiah. We will see that faithfulness to Torah and covenant obedience are essential for salvation and entry into the Kingdom of Heaven (Mat 7.22-23). Understanding the Hebrew Concept of Covenant Covenant, or "Berit" (in Hebrew), is a set apart, legally binding relational agreement between God/Yehovah and His chosen people. (Later on in this series we will see that Yah's chosen people are not limited to just the biological descendants of Avraham, Yitschaq, and Ya'achov.) But covenant frames the established relationship between God and His chosen ones with rules/behavioral expectations, obligations, and promises. Secularists may view a covenant much like a contract. But we will see as we delve deeper into the covenant Yah established/cut with His chosen ones that the concept of covenant is deeper. It's akin to a marriage-like partnership that is characterized by love, grace, and mercy. Both parties of the relational covenant agreement are bound to uphold the tenets of the established covenant. But God's faithfulness ensures the covenant's integrity, even when the covenant's human-signatory to the covenant, fail to keep their end of the covenant agreement. This faithfulness on God's/Yehovah's part is an immutable trait of God. Moseh described this character trait accordingly:  “Yehovah/God is not a man that He should lie, nor a son of man (i.e. a human being) that He should repent (i.e. change His mind). Has He said and will He not do it? Or has He spoken, and will He not establish it?” (Numbers 23:19; LSB) The covenant (sometimes referred to as a blood covenant) is solemnly "cut" or established through an ancient middle eastern ritual that involves animal sacrifices. This bloody, solemn act symbolizes the serious and binding nature of the agreement (Gen 15). The Hebrew word "Berit" pictographically combines elements representing family, leadership, work, and consent. These elements underscore the covenant's relational and purposeful dimensions. Key Biblical Covenants We furthermore outline the five major expansions of Yah's covenant with His chosen ones: The Noahic Covenant (Genesis 6 and 9) The Patriarchal Covenant with Abraham and his descendants (Genesis 12, 15, 17) The National Covenant given through Moses at Sinai (Exodus 19-24) The Davidic Covenant with King David (2 Chronicles, Psalms, Isaiah) The New or Renewed Covenant prophesied by Jeremiah and Ezekiel (Jeremiah 31:31-34; Ezekiel 36:26-38) Each covenant expansion reveals aspects of God's/Yah's immutable character and the love He has for His set apart people. These expansions include expectations Yah for His covenant people. These expansions of covenant shape Israel's identity and sacred mission on the earth. The Commonness and Uniqueness of Covenants While covenants were common in the ancient Near East, often understood by scholars as treaties that various kings established with their vassals, the Hebrew covenant is unique. For we find that it is initiated solely by God acting from a position of sovereignty. God/Yah offers to His chosen ones a non-negotiable invitation to enter into a relationship with Him that is based on grace and love. Humans may accept or reject that invitation, but they cannot alter the terms of that covenant. Why? Because it is God/Yah Who carries the covenant's weight. Not from a position of subjugating His people, but from an expression of His desire for loving communion with His people. The covenant is thus a sacred bond with rules that both parties must honor. Those who accept the terms of the covenant commit to loving God (and loving God/Yah comes through faithful obedience to Him) and loving one another (Luk 10:27). The prophet Jeremiah's words to the Babylonian captives illustrate God's faithfulness to His covenant despite Israel's failures (chapter 29). Because of Yah's steadfastness to His Covenant, He promises Judah restoration and a future of peace. Greek Understanding of Covenant and Terminology In this teaching we also contrast the Hebrew "Berit" with the Greek "diatheke" that is used in the New Testament and in the LXX/Septuagint. While "diatheke" can refer to a “will” or “testament,” the Greek version of covenant does not capture the rich spiritual depth of the Hebrew, which involves an enduring, intimate relationship that has far-reaching implications for humanity's salvation. Varying Definitions of Covenant We list several scholarly definitions for covenant, some of which emphasize covenant as an alliance, compact, treaty, or sacred kinship bonds. The Hebrew understanding of covenant, however, centers on relationship, promises, and expectations established uniquely by God/Yehovah with Israel/Yisra'el/Yasharal. Conclusion We conclude our discussion by emphasizing the necessity of understanding covenant from a Hebrew perspective that is rooted in Torah, the Prophets, and the Writings. A Greek-only or New Testament-only view limits comprehension of this critical concept and the one that embraces it from that Greek perspective risks missing the covenant's full significance for individual believers and the collective identity of Israel. The covenant remains the foundation for humanity's salvation and our entry into the Kingdom of God (i.e. the Malchut Ahlohim).

Welcome to the DMF. Kerstin Schulze shares a powerful method to combat daily overwhelm that she learned from life coach Nina Bozic. Many people write too much down for their daily tasks, leading to feelings of being overwhelmed and ultimately halting their progress. Instead, she recommends a simple yet effective approach: at the end of each day, take a moment to reflect and write down everything you've accomplished, no matter how small. This could include everything from calling a friend to paying a bill or even working out. You might be surprised to find that you have at least 20 things to list!Once you've acknowledged your daily achievements, she suggests focusing on just three key tasks for the next day. This minimalist approach not only prevents overwhelm but also allows your subconscious mind to work on these tasks while you sleep. By doing this, you wake up feeling more focused and energized, ready to tackle your day with a positive mindset.Kerstin emphasizes that it's essential to maintain a positive state of mind, especially before sleep, as it influences your overall well-being. When you operate above a certain frequency, you reduce stress and cortisol levels, leading to better sleep and improved focus. Writing can be a form of meditation, allowing you to connect with the present moment and avoid distractions like social media.In this video, she also discusses the importance of using tools like AI to enhance your creativity rather than replace it. While AI can assist in various tasks, it cannot replicate the unique human experience and creativity that people bring to their work. Embracing technology as a tool can lead to greater success, but it's crucial to remember that individuality and experiences are irreplaceable.Kerstin also touches on her experiences in writing and directing, sharing insights on the creative process and the importance of collaboration. Whether someone is an actor, writer, or filmmaker, understanding the production process and being open to learning from others can significantly enhance their skills.She invites viewers to explore these concepts and discover tips on how to navigate the challenges of daily life while maintaining a positive and productive mindset.00:00:00 - Introduction00:00:05 - Daily Task Management00:01:15 - The Power of Positivity and Meditation00:02:32 - The Role of AI in Creativity00:03:23 - The Uniqueness of the Human Mind00:04:28 - Discussion on Wine Night00:06:03 - The Value of Acting Classes00:06:38 - Discussion on Pet Peeves00:08:15 - Understanding Film Production00:10:21 - The Importance of Story Flow in Editing00:11:29 - Learning from Being On Set00:13:24 - ConclusionFor more insights into her work and programs, you can visit her website at ⁠⁠⁠⁠partyanddiet.com⁠⁠⁠⁠ or follow her on Instagram at ⁠⁠⁠⁠@partyanddiet⁠⁠⁠⁠.

In our latest interview, Gaia Chinniah and Emilio Ortiz explore new predictions for 2025, as well as the merging of timelines and the healing potential that can rewrite not only the present but also the past, impacting future generations. The podcast emphasizes the importance of being grounded while rising to new heights and trusting in the cosmic laws that guide us. In this conversation, we also explore the themes of sovereignty, personal power, and the importance of embracing one's true self. Gaia emphasizes the need to stop comparing ourselves to others and to recognize our inherent worth. They discuss the inevitability of death and how it relates to rebirth, as well as the emotional complexities surrounding loss and fertility. Finally, they touch on the importance of completing cycles and creating personal ceremonies to honor transitions in life.Meet Gaia Chinniah, born with the sacred name Gāyathirī, inspired by the Hindu Goddess. At 33, she felt an unshakable sense that something life-changing was on the horizon — and she was right. Managing a busy product distribution company in Asia left her stressed, but her deep spiritual roots, shaped by her Hindu upbringing and ancestry from Bhutan, Sri Lanka, and Gujarat — some of the world's most spiritual places — were always within her.A pivotal moment with a friend reminded her of her profound spiritual gifts. From that day forward, Gaia embraced her calling as a healer, specializing in Soul Progression Therapy® (S.P.T) and Soul Evolution Techniques (S.E.T). With her natural abilities, Gaia accesses your Akashic records to uncover past lives, clear energetic blocks, and align you with your true purpose. As a gifted medium, she connects with spirits — whether loved ones who've passed or messages from the Universe — to deliver guidance tailored for you. Through her unique blend of healing and intuitive practices, Gaia empowers individuals to find balance, unlock their potential, and step into their highest selves.

Today, we are joined by Leslie Zane.Leslie Zane is an award-winning marketer, TEDx speaker and the foremost authority in harnessing the instinctive mind to accelerate brand and business growth. Like many pioneers, Zane's ideas were dismissed early on. In 1995, she founded Triggers®, a CMO advisory and the first brand consulting firm rooted in behavioral science, where she continued to champion the primacy of the instinctive mind in brand decisions. With her groundbreaking discoveries in boosting salience, the Brand Connectome® and Growth Triggers®, Zane and her team have delivered over 2X incremental revenue growth for their Fortune 100 clients.In this episode, we explore the revolutionary concept of the Brand Connectome and how it transforms traditional marketing approaches. Leslie challenges long-held marketing beliefs, explaining that the human mind is unpersuadable through conscious appeals, but highly receptive to unconscious triggers that form instinctive associations with brands. Key topics include:How the Brand Connectome forms in the unconscious mind and drives 95% of purchasing decisionsWhy brands should pursue distinctiveness rather than uniqueness when developing their identityThe counterintuitive approach of layering multiple messages instead of focusing on "one big idea"How growth comes from targeting non-users rather than existing customersWhy fantasy drives consumer decisions more powerfully than reality-based marketingLeslie Zane's Book: "The Power of Instinct: The New Rules of Persuasion in Business and Life" LinkedIn: linkedin.com/in/lesliezane Website: triggers.com-Website and live online programs: http://ims-online.comBlog: https://blog.ims-online.com/Podcast: https://ims-online.com/podcasts/LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/charlesgood/ Twitter: https://twitter.com/charlesgood99Chapters:(00:00) Introduction(01:40) Tool: Understanding the Unconscious Mind's Role in Decision Making(04:00) Technique: Building the Brand Connectome for Instinctive Choice(07:00) Tip: Pursuing Distinctiveness Instead of Uniqueness(11:40) Technique: Combating Negative Brand Perceptions(13:10) Tip: Why Layered Messaging Beats the "One Big Idea" Approach(19:50) Technique: The "Keep, Stop, Add" Formula for Brand Evolution(24:30) Tool: Prioritizing Growth Targets Over Existing Customers(29:30) Tool: Tapping Into Unconscious Fantasies Instead of Reality(33:10) Tip: Why Emotions Alone Don't Drive Brand Decisions(37:50) Technique: Preventing Digital Brand Atrophy Through Consistency(40:00) Conclusion#CharlesGood #LeslieZane #TheGoodLeadershipPodcast #BrandConnectome #UnconsciousDecisionMaking #GrowthTriggers #DistinctiveBrandAssets #ConsumerPsychology #BrandStrategy #LayeredMessaging #GrowthMarketing #BrandEvolution #MarketingMyths #InstinctiveChoice #BrandLoyalty #FantasyMarketing #TriggersBrandConsulting #PowerOfInstinct #BrandManagement #BrandConsistency

The focal point of this podcast episode revolves around the exploration of Enneagram Type Four, often perceived as the individualistic or romantic type, characterized by a profound longing for identity and uniqueness. Our discussion delves into the complexities of the emotional landscape of Fours, emphasizing their capacity for creativity and introspection, as well as the challenges they face with feelings of inadequacy and longing for connection. Throughout the episode, we engage in a rigorous examination of how Fours navigate their emotional depths and the societal perceptions that often label them as overly sensitive or melancholic. The insights offered by our guests illuminate the paradoxes inherent in the Four's journey—balancing the pursuit for meaning with the acceptance of the mundane aspects of life. Ultimately, we aim to foster a deeper understanding of Type Fours, inviting listeners to appreciate the rich and nuanced experiences that define this unique personality type.Human Interview: Stephanie SpencerWEBSITEstephaniejspencer.comBOOKSOut of the Box & Into the Wild: An Enneagram Journey Through the Triads of NatureBeyond Your NumberAwareness to ActionType 4The Enneagram InstituteType 4The Narrative EnneagramType 4Jerry Seinfeld on writers blockAwareness to ActionEnneagram on Demand - Certification ProgramMario Sikora: IG: @mariosikoraTikTok: @mariosikoraWeb: mariosikora.comSubstack: mariosikora.substack.comMaria Jose Munita: IG: @mjmunitaWeb: mjmunita.comPodcasts:Awareness to Action Enneagram in a MovieThe Narrative TraditionTerry Saracino:Web: https://www.narrativeenneagram.org/team/terry-saracino/Christopher Copeland:Web: illuminatingpaths.comNarrative Podcasts:

Christianity is not merely about defending a religious system—it is about recognizing the distinctiveness of Jesus Christ as Lord and Savior. In this sermon, Dr. Youssef underscores the centrality of Jesus as the only way to salvation—emphasizing His uniqueness and challenging all who listen to know Him personally.

Puritan poet Anne Bradstreet once said, “Wisdom without an inheritance is better than an inheritance without wisdom.”Every parent hopes to leave an inheritance for their children, but doing so wisely takes careful thought and prayer. Today, Ron Blue joins us to discuss the Uniqueness Principle and how it can guide parents in passing down wealth effectively.Ron Blue is the Co-Founder of Kingdom Advisors and the author of many books on biblical finance, including Splitting Heirs: Giving Your Money and Things to Your Children Without Ruining Their Lives.The Uniqueness Principle: Equal Love, Unique TreatmentProbably every parent of more than one child has asked, “How can children coming from the same two parents, with the same gene pool, living in the same environment, with the same stimuli…be so different?” Of course, we all know that estate planning can be challenging, and we understand the desire to be fair. However, the answer lies in what Ron Blue calls the Uniqueness Principle: Love your children equally, but treat them uniquely.If we think about how God treats us, He loves us all equally and treats us uniquely. In other words, God doesn't give everyone the same gifts, challenges, or circumstances—and maybe we shouldn't either when planning our estates.One child may have greater needs, and another may be wiser in handling money. Those realities need to be part of the decision-making process for transferring wealth. Each of my children is different financially, emotionally, and spiritually. Over the years, Ron and his wife, Judy, have allocated varying amounts to each of them, taking into account their individual needs and life circumstances. Good stewardship means recognizing these differences and allocating resources accordingly.Fairness vs. Favoritism: Learning from ScriptureMany parents worry about resentment among their children if they don't divide assets evenly. The best way to handle this is through clear communication. Open and honest conversations while you're alive can help your children understand your reasoning and prevent misunderstandings. Explaining your heart and thought process fosters unity and clarity.As parents, we need to work diligently to avoid favoritism. Rightfully so, as favoritism has caused much pain and divisiveness in families for thousands of years. Look at the story of Joseph in the Old Testament. The Bible says that his father, Jacob, "loved Joseph more than any of his other sons" (Genesis 37:3). Jacob later gave Joseph a richly ornamented coat of many colors. Although Jacob had unique treatment toward Joseph, Jacob violated the Uniqueness Principle. Jacob did not love his sons equally. Equal love often requires unique treatment. As stewards of God's resources, we are called to manage them wisely, ensuring that our decisions reflect both love and responsibility.The Three Questions That Changed EverythingThat said, we aren't saying that it is better to leave different amounts to children. Instead, following a systematic process is the key to wise decisions. When making wealth transfer plans, Ron encourages parents to ask themselves three key questions:It's helpful to ask yourself three questions:What is the worst (or best) thing that can happen if I transfer wealth to this child?How serious is it? How likely is it to occur? The purpose of these questions is not to arrive at a predetermined answer. You may end up distributing assets to your children equally or disproportionately, but that's not the objective of these questions. The goal is to guide you toward a well-thought-out decision.Ultimately, wealth transfer should reflect God's wisdom, not just human emotions. We are accountable to Him for how we allocate His resources. Factors such as financial need, spiritual maturity, and life circumstances should all be prayerfully considered.So, should you leave different amounts to your children? Maybe. Maybe not. The key is to seek God's wisdom, ask the right questions, and make decisions that honor Him and bless your family in the best way possible.On Today's Program, Rob Answers Listener Questions:How do I restructure my finances since I was terminated from my position and am no longer working?I have $700,000 and want to invest in a variable annuity with a 20% buffer. Is this a good idea?I received correspondence requesting a vote to approve the reorganization and merger of my mutual fund shares into a new account. How do I evaluate what factors to consider when making this vote?How do we balance stewarding our money well and living radically generously?Resources Mentioned:Faithful Steward: FaithFi's New Quarterly MagazineRedeeming Money: How God Reveals and Reorients Our Hearts by Paul David TrippSplitting Heirs: Giving Your Money and Things to Your Children Without Ruining Their Lives by Ron Blue with Jeremy WhiteWisdom Over Wealth: 12 Lessons from Ecclesiastes on Money (Pre-Order)Look At The Sparrows: A 21-Day Devotional on Financial Fear and AnxietyRich Toward God: A Study on the Parable of the Rich FoolFind a Certified Kingdom Advisor (CKA) or Certified Christian Financial Counselor (CertCFC)FaithFi App Remember, you can call in to ask your questions most days at (800) 525-7000.
