Grafted: Jewish Roots of Christianity

My guest on today's podcast is Corry Keeler!

Through her many trials and life experiences, including the death of her son, Beau, Corry presents the hope that only comes through the revelation that God not only exists but that He cares deeply for the affairs of human beings and wants an intimate relationship with everyone who calls on Him.  Her message is simple, clear, honest, and sometimes very raw. She willingly and eagerly shares her tragedies to help others heal, reconcile, and come to a place of coexistence with pain and suffering, but with a deep and abiding peace and joy.

Corry is presently married to speaker and fellow musician, Randy Keeler. Between them, they raised nine children, traveled the world, and continue to serve their community on the worship team at their congregation, Beth Emunah, as well as serving in the band, Lev Shelo. Corry is a co-director of Lev Shelo Ministries, a nonprofit, 501(c)(3) organization.  She is also a writer, journalist, copy editor, and speaker at venues wherever she is invited.

Today's guest is Lauren Blake.

Lauren is the founder and a life coach with Shalom Strategies (shalomlifecoach.com). She has a B.A. in Christian Education and Ministry and her Masters in Spiritual Formation and Evangelism from Wheaton College. She wrote her thesis on the Bridal Paradigm and included a creative project of Bible Devotional on Song of Songs. 

Lauren became a widow at twenty-five after being married just over a year. However, she has since remarried and has four children. She has helped her husband plant two congregations under the Tikkun American network. Which creates space for Christian and Messianic Jewish believers to worship Jesus (Yeshua) together in unity with distinctions. 

Lauren has been involved in the International House of Prayer movement in Kansas City and prayer leads at the First Coast House of Prayer in Saint Augustine. Her passion is to walk out Jesus's prayer in John 17 to be One with Him and His Body.

Lauren believes the key to walking this out is allowing the Holy Spirit to live through us so we can be a beautiful Bride made up of the whole body of Messiah for His Return.

Barb Winters is my guest today!

Barb is a certified Sexual Risk Avoidance Specialist and has completed extensive research on pornography and its effects on individuals and society. As Lead Facilitator at E3 Family Solutions, Inc., I equip youth at local schools to avoid risky behaviors and make healthy choices.

From her website, www.hopefulmom.net:

When one of my sons was fourteen, he confessed to watching pornography. I was shocked, mad, and ashamed. I questioned my parenting skills. The stigma surrounding his behavior kept me from talking with others, so I suffered in silence. The pain and emotional turmoil left me feeling empty and alone.

Since that time, I’ve learned a thing or two about pornography, screens, online relationships, hookup culture, grooming, human trafficking, and the teenage brain. My experience combatting this monumental problem and my desire for no other parent to feel alone in this battle led me to create this site. It’s a place for parents, grandparents, and caregivers to find support, encouragement, and practical tips for parenting in this digital world. Oh, and HOPE.

You can pre-order her book, Sexpectations, here.

My guest, Brenda Johnson, has dedicated her life to empowering and uplifting others through her various roles as Conference Speaker, Course/Content Creator, Bible Study teacher, and Women’s Ministry Leader. She is known for her vibrant personality and infectious enthusiasm.

Brenda has created an outstanding Video series “The Hebrew Alefbet: Discovering the Energy of the Letters.” This has been her life’s work.

Brenda shares how the letters of the Hebrew Alefbet tell the gospel story, revealing the Love of God for His people and creation, The Character of Jesus, our Messiah as He walked it out among us, and the impartation of His Love into us and through us to others. As Brenda takes you through each letter, you will discover for yourself the healing and restoration that His Word and His letters provide.
