  • The book of Leviticus has MANY dietary restrictions. Pork, shrimp, and dogs most people know... but also elephants, catfish, and bats.... The questions for us are WHY did these dietary restrictions originally exist, what purpose did they serve as time went on, and what bearing does ANY of that have on us today....

    The Hope Messages Podcast is a podcast dedicated to delivering accessible encouraging messages to Christians trying to make sense of the Bible and it’s bearing (or lack there of) on their lives. The messages are developed by synthesizing the best available critical scholarship with the engaging stories and illustrations to contextualize the Bible into something relevant and applicable to modern/post-modern thinkers… whether they are firmly established in their Christian theology or are in the process of deconstruction.

    Hosted primarily by Pastor Jon Fogel (@pastorjonfogel on most social media platforms) each episode digs into a different biblical text or question and brings to bear the best academic research and critical historical hermeneutics on the pressing social issues of modern life. Is it always clean and simple? Do we always come up with definitive “the Bible says XYZ” answers? Nope. But if it was, it wouldn’t be worth engaging.

  • In this episode Pastor Jon digs into Leviticus 19:28 and it's admonition not to "tattoo one's skin". Do Christians still need to follow this commandment? What is the historical backdrop and contextual information necessary to understand WHY this was even a thing in Ancient Israel? Will Hope fire its current tattooed worship leader/leadership team member? Listen to find out...

  • The book of Leviticus explicitly prohibits the wearing of mixed fabrics (along with planting two types of seed in a field and cross breeding animals) and yet most "Bible Believing Christians" don't think twice before wearing polyester... Why? Why did the Bible have this prohibition in the first place and what relevance does any of this have for Christians today?
