No matter how this year's presidential election turns out, there will still be grave concern for the future of our country. Many of us still believe that elections can save our countryâcan save usâand set things right. But according to the word of God, even while we participate in the electoral process, it is a foolâs errand to look for salvation from any man. In this episode, Kevin reminds us where our hope for every election truly lies, and encourages us with an unexpected and unusual message of hope.

The knowledge and reality of Yeshuaâs sacrifice fills and touches us in our inmost being, producing thoughts and feelings of appreciation, gratitude, thankfulness, passion, and profound, overflowing joy. This is the Jesus that most believers know and are more than happy to follow. But while all this is true, the problem is that far too many believers have also mistaken that unheavy burden and easy yoke for a walk with a gentle Jesus that is free of personal cost and responsibility. In today's episode, Kevin introduces the full, complete and demanding Yeshua of the Bible that most believers don't want to follow.

The mystery of Yeshua's divine dynamics as both fully God and fully man defies language and thought. Yet rather than be content to live with Scripture's unresolved tension of it, Christian theology has rationalized extrabiblical explanationsâone of which is the concept of preincarnation. In this episode, Kevin searches the Old Testament for preincarnate, human-form appearances of Jesus, and considers the effect such an idea has on the true nature and person of Yeshua.

The Trinity is arguably the singular foundational doctrine of historical Christianity. The teaching of a triune godheadâof one God in three persons: the Father, Son and Holy Spiritâis at the center of the Christian creeds, and is universally accepted across denominational lines. But is it true that the God of Israelâwhom Moses says is âOneââis, actually, also three? In this episode, Kevin looks at the Scriptures to see if they do indeed teach that God is a Trinity, and considers whether holding to Christian Trinitarian doctrine is truly necessary for biblical faith.

They say âa little knowledge is a dangerous thing,â and nowhere is this more true than when it comes to using Bible study tools. While a seminary degree is hardly necessary to qualify someone to handle the Scriptures, one still needs to understand Bible tool basics in order to properly use them. In today's episode, Kevin demonstrates three major mistakes that people make with Bible tools, specifically with Hebrew and Greek lexicons.

Why is traditional, Rabbinic Judaism so deeply embedded in the culture and expression of the typical Messianic Jewish synagogue service and community? Why have Messianics adopted Judaism in this way? Does it actually make us better disciples of Messiah? In what way does Judaism really support and reinforce the Jewishness of a Messianic Jew? In this episode, Kevin explains the vast difference between being Jewish and being "Judaismish," and expresses concern about the danger that relying on non-Messianic Judaism creates for the faithful keeping of Scripture.

Yeshua gave us one main job: to make disciples. So why do so many Christians and Messiah-believers today look and act just like the world? Why don't they more closely resemble Yeshua? Why hasn't the generational passing down of doctrines and traditions been enough? In this episode, Kevin explains why the Body of Messiah has failed to make true disciples of Yeshua, and reveals what we need to start doing right now to fulfill and restore the great commission of discipleship.

It might come as a surprise, but most Jewish people actually know very little about the Bible. Today's Jewish people have grown increasingly secular and humanistic, with no standard frame of reference where it comes to spiritual or religious topics. But despite the vast differences in beliefs among Jews, one thing you can almost always count on is that Jewish people are highly unlikely to know is the truth about the most important Jew who ever lived: Yeshua. In this episode, Kevin discusses five biblical facts that most every Jewish doesn't knowâbut needs toâin order to learn the truth about the true, Jewish Messiah.

Could God be pruning the Body of Messiah? Would the Father ever separate believers from the vine of Yeshua? If so, why? Is the shrinking Body of Messiah evidence that God is at work? In this episode, Kevin digs into Yeshua's words about pruning and bearing fruit, and then offers an encouragement to today's struggling and shrinking Body of believers.

God hates divorce, and the Bible has nothing even close to good to say about it. So why is no-fault divorce rampant in the Body of Messiah today? Why do believers allow their marriages to be torn apart by it? In this episode, Kevin lays out and explains what the Scriptures actually say about divorce and remarriage, then offers some biblically-based advice for believers who have been divorced, have been involved in remarriage, or are right now contemplating either one.

Many Messianic believers, rather than call the Messiah "Jesus," call Him by His Hebrew name "Yeshua." But some Messianics instead call Him something different, such as "Yahshua" or "Yahushua," incorporating the Sacred Name of God, ××××. Why do they pronounce it like this, and can we know definitively which way is correct? In this episode, Kevin digs into the Hebrew to show us the correct pronunciation of the Messiah's name. Which is it? "Yeshua" or "YAHSHUA"?

The pronunciation of the Sacred Name of Godâthe Tetragrammaton, "Yahweh"âhas been obscured in the Hebrew text of the Bible. Yet some say that not only can the Name be restored, it must be, because pronouncing it is necessary for salvation. In this episode, Kevin discusses this view of the Sacred Name and analyzes the Hebrew to determine if the correct pronunciation of ×××× has truly been lost.

The Bible often plainly communicates how God expects us to think and act. But what if the Scriptures donât speak directly to a specific thing weâre dealing with, or if they appear to be silent about a particular topic altogether? In this episode, Kevin demonstrates how to discern and apply biblical patterns and unwritten principles that God has implicitly encoded into the living word of Scripture.

If you thought biblical belief in the Body of Messiah today was slowly declining, you'd be mistakenâit's nearly extinct, and it's happening fast. In this episode, Kevin looks at recent research that exposes the almost non-existent biblical worldview in America, and then offers a way forward for the faithful few who remain.

The "church" of GodâYeshua's "Called-Forth"âwas never meant to be based on form or structure, but on us: the people. In the Scriptures, we've been given a biblical pattern that reveals how we are supposed to work and function together as the Body of Messiah, and it looks nothing like "church" (or "Messianic synagogue") as usual. In this episode, Kevin wraps up his 7-part series about biblical "church" with a candid word of exhortation, and a vivid sketch of what our gatherings and communities could look like... if we actually followed the Scriptures.

Communion is one of the main sacramental rites of Christianity, holding a deeply personal, spiritual significance for millions of believers worldwide for generations. But is the ordinance of communion (or the eucharist) actually in the Bible? Did Jesus really institute a communion ceremony during His last supper? In this episode, Kevin challenges the traditions of Christianity's communion, then explains what the biblical âLordâs supperâ actually is, according to the Scriptures.

Ask most believers about the purpose of church, and they'll say it's for praise, worship and the teaching of God's word. But what if the Scriptures say no such thing? What if our ideas for why the church even exists has been completely and hopelessly wrong? In this episode, Kevin reveals the true, biblical purpose of "church"âwhat the Bible depicts for our believer's gatherings, for our believing communities, and for all of us collectively as Yeshua's united Body.

One of the most important books of the New Testament is, sadly, also one of the most overlooked: the book of James. Hidden all the way near the back in most Bible versions, James doesnât tend to be a favorite. Maybe people just donât find him inspirational enough. Maybe they donât make it that far in their Bible reading. But when we overlook James, we undercut one of the most fundamental aspects of our faith. In this episode, Kevin champions the foundational nature of the book of Ya'aqov (James), and makes a case for how its fundamental teachings can transform your faith.

Most active Christians and Messianics make it a priority to attend at least one Saturday or Sunday worship service. But should that weekly meeting really be our goal? Does participating in a once-a-week worship service truly reflect the Bibleâs example for when we should gather ourselves together? In this episode, Kevin looks at what the Scriptures say regarding when and how often believers are supposed to meet, then considers how this should reshape the way we think about the reason and frequency for gathering as the Body of Messiah.
