"And the Scripture was fulfilled which says, “Abraham believed God, and it was accounted to him for righteousness.” And he was called the friend of God." - James 2:23

In this episode of portals, host Shenaya Annise interviews our Senior Leadership -- Dr Robyn Kassas, Ps. Tony Kassas, and Ps. Nathan Kassas -- on what it is to be called the friend of God. Great patriarchs of our faith not only had a saving relationship with their creator but were called friends of God. They had intimate dialogue and connection. Which brings us to the point, that they were able to hear God's heart -- He would share what He was feeling with them. Are we able to come to the place where we can hear God "vent" to us about what troubles His heart? Or are we too concerned with what is going on in our own world that we don't realize the importance of being quiet to hear His response. Dr Robyn unpacks such a key and challenging revelation of the "yada times" as we reveal that the Lord wants to let us in on what His heart is feeling because that is true relationship -- not a one sided conversation. 

If that wasn't full enough, we also are joined by Rabbi Sam, a recent convert from Orthodox Judaism to now a believer in Jesus Christ. Samuel shares his testimony and the power of breaking free from religion so that you can have a real relationship with God, hear his voice, and come to the conclusion that Jesus Christ is the fulfillment of the Scripture.

Let the snap, crackle, pop commence!
