Grafted: Jewish Roots of Christianity

Welcome to Grafted: Jewish Roots of Christianity! My guest is Ryan White, the voice and vision behind Faith of Messiah, where ancient wisdom meets modern hearts through the study of Scripture.

With hundreds of hours of video teachings, he endeavors to bridge the millennia, by connecting the cultural context of the Bible to the relevance it holds for us today. As one of the founders of the Saturday Church Community, he is deeply invested in creating a space where faith and fellowship flourish side by side. Holding a Master's in Biblical Studies with a focus on the Old Testament, he blends academic rigor with spiritual insight, providing a unique perspective that enriches the understanding of my listeners and readers.

His role as a husband and father to five remarkable boys is at the core of my journey. The lessons he learned from his family life often seep into his teachings, providing a personal touch that resonates with those navigating the beautiful chaos of everyday living. Join him as he unravels the threads of ancient texts to clothe them in contemporary relevance, all while balancing the dynamic roles God has bestowed upon him.

Welcome to Grafted: Jewish Roots of Christianity! I'm delighted to introduce our guest today, Misty Harber. Misty is not just a teacher but a licensed Minister and a compelling speaker, whose lessons focus on character.

With a background as the Chief Financial Officer of The Rooted Kafe, Misty has not only managed financial matters but has actively contributed as a teacher, guiding others through classes and Torah Portions. The breadth of her experience is evident as she shares her insights and teachings on The Bridge every second Friday of the month, reaching out to a wider audience on Facebook.

In today's conversation, Misty and I delve into the profound verses of 2 Corinthians 3:2-3. We explore the symbolism behind "tablets of stone" and "tablets of human hearts," unraveling the significance of these metaphors in the context of the Jewish roots of Christianity. Together, we navigate the intricate terrain of biblical interpretation, aiming to shed light on how these ancient teachings continue to shape our understanding of faith today.

Beyond the verses, Misty and I engage in a discussion about being historical rather than hysterical. Drawing from her expertise and spiritual insights, Misty guides us through connecting with the historical roots of our faith, fostering a deeper understanding and appreciation for the foundations that have shaped Christianity over the centuries.

Welcome to Grafted: Jewish Roots of Christianity. My guest is Sarah Kiefer, who is the founder of the Surge Women's Conference.

Sarah Kiefer lives with her husband and three kids in the Austin Texas area.  She is the founder of the Surge Women's Conference happening this summer in Waxahachie Texas. 

Her heart is to support and unite sisters who are on a journey with their Bibles to walk with the King and know their Father on a deeper level.  From ladies new to walking out the whole Bible, to the most seasoned and wise, there is a workshop for all ladies who want to dive deeper, learn more, and have a whole heck of a lot of Texas-sized fun.

The Surge Conference was born in 2022 after seeing the division caused by prideful doctrine and judgmental mindsets.  Sarah always says there is no room for sibling rivalry in Yah's house and unity starts with YOU.  The army of women being built through the unifying spirit of the Surge Conference will spill over into their families' hearts and, ultimately into their communities.  She is a strong believer that Yah blesses everyone with gifts that can be used for His Kingdom and hers is throwing a really good party!  She loves hanging out with her family and friends, at Texas wineries, making homemade soap, and planning the next big event.

To find out more about the Surge Women's Conference go here.

The Surge Women's Conference is June 27-30.

My guest today is Loyla Louvis. She is a Certified Professional Parenting Strategist, Life Coach, Speaker, Teacher, Columnist, and Mother to four Homeschooled Kids.

As a young single parent with no real strategy or role model, she was no stranger to the challenges some families face today. The journey started on a rocky road. Broken relationships set the stage for a marriage destined for disaster and heartache. She was divorced at twenty-four, with a sweet, strong-willed child to care for, single parenting, and long hours of work consumed daily life. Those days were riddled with financial concerns, health issues, loneliness, and a growing sense of despair.

After years of helping others resolve parenting challenges, and receiving encouragement from like-minded professionals, Mothers In Training, LLC became a reality in 2010. Loyla is a wife, a mother to three sons and a daughter, a Certified Professional Parenting & Life Coach with the American Association of Christian Counselors, a public speaker, a homeschooling mom, and a teacher to home-schooled children in the tri-state area for over nineteen years.
