Grafted: Jewish Roots of Christianity

Welcome to Grafted: Jewish Roots of Christianity! My guest is author, writer, and speaker Terry Murphy.

We talked about the wedding betrothal in Scripture, picking up your cross, and the Feast of the Lord as well as her book, A Place for Me in God's Tent.

Terry Murphy is a writer and speaker who is passionate about uncovering the clues of God’s presence and wisdom in both His Word and creation. She is dedicated to helping others grow in their wonder, appreciation, and understanding of God, believing that by discovering fresh ways to approach Scripture together, we can all expand our ability to apply and share the truths we learn.

When she isn’t writing or speaking, Terry mentors fellow writers through Word Weavers International, a community where writers can network, form critique groups, and refine their communication skills. Outside of her professional work, Terry finds joy in tending to her garden, a personal reward after finishing her writing. If you happen to visit her home, be prepared for a lively atmosphere—especially if her grandchildren are around! However, even if the noise makes conversation tricky, you’re sure to be entertained. If Terry isn’t available to chat, she may be out hiking with her husband in one of the nearby nature preserves, but don’t hesitate to leave a note, and she’ll get back to you as soon as she can.

Jessica and I talk about spiritual warfare, prayer, and understanding our authority in Christ.

Welcome to Grafted: Jewish Roots of Christianity! My guest is Jessica Knock.

Jessica Knock is a passionate co-founder and seasoned leader in both ministry and broadcasting. Alongside her late husband, Shane Knock, she dedicated over 40 years of service as an itinerant preacher and missionary. Together, they pioneered several impactful projects, most notably co-launching the Hollywood Classics Network on the Sky Television platform in Europe and the UK. This groundbreaking initiative marked the first-ever faith-based movie, comedy, and family channel, blending silver screen favorites with Christian content and ministry programming, designed to evangelize the Gospel across the airwaves.

In 2020, Jessica took her wealth of ministry and broadcasting experience to new heights by founding EWHAL, an online Torah-based teaching ministry. With a heart for shepherding and equipping the Body of Christ, she has made it her mission to bring a Hebraic understanding of Scripture to believers in today’s world—particularly in these prophetic times. Through EWHAL, Jessica has fostered the growth of Torah communities both in-person and online, and she actively hosts and introduces the appointed feasts in regions such as the UK, Australasia, Europe, and Africa. Her work continues to inspire and empower believers to walk out their faith with a deep, rooted understanding of the Word of God.

Welcome to Grafted: Jewish Roots of Christianity! My guest is Christine Vales.

The Lord gave Christine Vales a deep desire to serve and point others to Him just before the turn of the century.  It has been a beautiful journey and she is still discovering the gifts He planted in her - to use them to serve others and bring glory to Him. ​​

​Christine and her husband, Carlos, began exploring the Hebrew roots of their Christian faith, Christine discovered the Lord’s prophetic calendar. The Lord began to stir her prophetic gift through understanding His appointed times and seasons as they were understood by His people and the need for them to be understood today.  After several years of studying and creating her own handwritten Hebrew/Gregorian calendar and journal, she sought to purchase one, but to no avail   She then began to understand the Lord was calling her as a teacher and that this would be her next assignment.

Christine created the first edition of “His Appointed Times: Hebrew/Gregorian Calendar & Journal” in 2017.  Soon after its release, the Lord prompted Christine to continue to “feed His sheep.”  She then began posting her “Chalkboard Teachings” and other encouragements on her website, YouTube and social media.  Her online teaching ministry began to blossom and continues to produce fruit worldwide.​ Over the years, Christine has continued to develop and create annual editions of “His Appointed Times” as well as other prophetic resources. These prophetic tools have been used and enjoyed by many, including ministers Bill Yount, Pastor Trisha Roselle, Jen Mallan, and  Pastor Ray Bentley.  

Christine's articles on His times and seasons have been published on  The Elijah List  Charisma Magazine and other prophetic platforms. Christine is blessed to be a regular monthly contributor on CTN's "Come Home with Jen Mallan" as well as Theresa Rowe's "Shaped by Faith" podcast.​

Christine and her husband Carlos are graduates of Charis Bible College Orlando, FL . The truths Christine has learned through the study of God's word and receiving the baptism of the Holy Spirit has given her boldness and confidence in God's word.  She has also received a fresh revelation of the love of God and desires to share this essential truth of His love with others.

The Lord has equipped both, Christine and Carlos to not only be life-long students of His word but to be effective ministers and teachers of His word.  As Charis Bible College Orlando, FL alumni, they serve the current student body in interactive training groups and has accompanied the 2024 graduating class on their mission trip to Costa Rica.​ Christine continues on to follow and fulfill His calling on her life, as she has since the beginning of her story and knows the best is yet to come for all who are His.  Jer 29:11
