I Am Not Enough: Encouraging Conversations for Women of Faith

Please enjoy this replay of Season 1 Episode 33 which originally aired on June 11, 2025.

In this episode, Krysta and Traci discuss what they have learned about the festival of Shavuot (Pentecost) and the connection with the giving of the Torah (God’s teaching) at Mount Sinai.  The sisters share some connecting scriptures and encourage listeners to read on in the chapters to discover more about the cyclical nature of the appointed season. 

Key Points:
- The Lord wants a personal relationship with us and for us to live in community as well.
- Numbers that appear in scripture have significance and meaning.
- Shavuot was appointed to occur as a holy convocation 50 days after Passover.
- When reading the Word, we are reading the history of our ancestors.

Scriptures Mentioned (Complete Jewish Bible version):
Deuteronomy 16:10 “You are to observe the festival of Shavu‘ot [weeks] for Adonai your God with a voluntary offering, which you are to give in accordance with the degree to which Adonai your God has prospered you.”

Exodus 19:16 – 19 “On the morning of the third day, there was thunder, lightning and a thick cloud on the mountain. Then a shofar blast sounded so loudly that all the people in the camp trembled.  Moshe brought the people out of the camp to meet God; they stood near the base of the mountain. Mount Sinai was enveloped in smoke, because Adonai descended onto it in fire — its smoke went up like the smoke from a furnace, and the whole mountain shook violently.  As the sound of the shofar grew louder and louder, Moshe spoke; and God answered him with a voice.”

Acts 2: 1 – “The festival of Shavu‘ot arrived, and the believers all gathered together in one place. Suddenly there came a sound from the sky like the roar of a violent wind, and it filled the whole house where they were sitting. Then they saw what looked like tongues of fire, which separated and came to rest on each one of them. They were all filled with the Ruach HaKodesh (Holy Spirit) and began to talk in different languages, as the Spirit enabled them to speak. Now there were staying in Jerusalem religious Jews from every nation under heaven. When they heard this sound, a crowd gathered; they were confused, because each one heard the believers speaking in his own language.”

Krysta and Traci revisit the topic of Sabbath/​Shabbat after more than a year of living it out weekly. They explore why Sabbath still matters for believers today, how a Hebraic view of Scripture brings fresh clarity, and why this weekly day of rest is a gift rather than a burden. Through Hebrew word insights, prophetic pictures, and honest personal stories, they share how choosing to honor God’s rhythm of rest has transformed their family life, their spirituality, and their intimacy with the Father. 

Key Points

• The Hebrew letter Tet (9) connects to themes of truth, spiritual completeness, and even the word Shabbat through gematria.
• Sabbath is God’s appointed, set-apart day of rest, meant as a gift for His people, not a legalistic burden. 
• Looking at Scripture through a Hebraic lens (language, culture, and context) reveals deeper meaning in the Sabbath and the feasts. 
• Hebrews 4 teaches that a “Sabbath-rest” remains for God’s people, inviting us to cease from our own works as God did from His. 
• Calling the Sabbath a delight, rather than treating it as optional or mundane, opens the door to blessing, deeper rest, and family unity.

Key Scriptures Mentioned

• Genesis 2:1–3 
• Mark 2:27–28 
• Ephesians 2–3 
• Hebrews 4:9–12 
• Isaiah 58:13–14

In this episode, Traci and Krysta conclude their journey through Ephesians in Chapter 6, connecting back to themes from Chapter 5. They explore what it means to live in union with the Lord, honor God in family and work relationships, and stand firm in spiritual battles by putting on the full armor of God. Along the way, they unpack the Hebrew letter “Chet,” connect it to life, grace, and Passover, and show how the priestly garments give us a richer picture of our spiritual “war equipment.” 

Key Points  

• Ephesians 5–6 calls believers to imitate God as beloved children, leaving behind the old self and walking in spiritual wakefulness.
• Marriage reflects the relationship between Messiah and His bride, and children are called to honor and obey parents "in the Lord" as an extension of honoring God Himself.
• Honoring parents isn't about control but about alignment with God's order and how we honor Him, carrying the promise that "it may go well with you."
• Fathers are warned not to provoke or discourage their children, as harsh authority distorts a child's view of God rather than reflecting His character.
• Biblical servanthood — and by extension modern work — calls us to serve with sincerity as unto the Messiah, remembering that all people answer to the same impartial Master in heaven.
• True strength comes from union with the Lord, as each part of the body draws from the same Source and functions best in community.
• The armor of God is best understood through the lens of priestly garments — truth, righteousness, peace, and trust — equipping believers to stand firm spiritually rather than fight in the flesh.
• As Passover week begins, the Hebrew letter "chet" (8) ties together themes of life, new beginnings, and covenant protection, reminding us that God goes before His people and calls us simply to trust, obey, and stand.

Scriptures Referenced  

• Ephesians 6
• Exodus 20:12 / Deuteronomy 5:16 – Honor your father and mother… that it may go well with you and you may live long in the land.
• Exodus 12 
• Isaiah 52:7 
• Psalm 1 – The righteous who delight in God’s instruction stand in the day of judgment, contrasting with the wicked who will not stand.

In this episode, the sisters continue in Ephesians 5, exploring what it means to imitate God, walk as children of light, and “change our spiritual clothes” from self‑focused living to a life of love. They discuss how idolatry often looks like self‑worship, how marriage pictures the union between Messiah and His bride, and how the Hebrew letter “Zayin” points to God’s Word as both sword and sustenance.

Key Points  

• Imitating God means knowing His character and instruction through the whole of Scripture, not just centering on ourselves.  
• Idolatry is exposed as devotion to self, impurity, and greed instead of living as God’s holy people and children of light.  
• Believers are called to reflect God’s light, like the moon reflects the sun, by exposing lies and speaking God’s truth in love.  
• Paul’s teaching on marriage is presented as a picture of the Messiah and His bride, inviting us to ask what we’re truly “married” and devoted to.  
• The Hebrew letter “Zayin” highlights God’s Word as both a spiritual weapon and nourishment.

Scriptures Referenced  

• Ephesians 4 and 5  
• Matthew 5:14
• Genesis 2:23–24
• Lamentations 3:22–23

In this episode, Krysta and Traci continue with part 2 of their discussion on Ephesians. They begin with a recap of what was revealed to them about unity in Messiah and the secret plan. In Chapter 4, the theme of unity continues as they explore the topic of "walking in unity" with the Jewish people in what God has promised.

Key Points:

The Hebrew letter of the day is the "vav," (ו), with a numeric value of six (the number of man). Ancient pictograph is a tent peg; script is a vertical line joined to a yod. Meaning = Hook, as a connecting hook used in the assembly of the mishkan/tabernacle.

- In Exodus 27:9-10, the word describes the hooks that fastened the curtain surrounding the tabernacle to the posts.

- First used in the first sentence in Genesis in the sixth word, implying a divine "hook" between heaven and earth, the spiritual and the earthly. (See https://hebrew4christians.com/Grammar/Unit_One/Aleph-Bet/Vav/vav.html).

• Sha'ul (Paul), a knowledgeable Jewish scholar, was called to preach the Good News to the Gentiles.
• The mystery that Paul had revealed was that Gentile believers in the Messiah may now be a part of God's chosen people.
• There is a difference between knowing about God's love and understanding His love for us in our hearts and our minds.
• The Lord wants us to succeed in the plans he has made for us, and He does not want us to be bound up in shame or guilt.
• Humility is a prerequisite to drawing near to the Father.
• Everyone has unique gifts, and all have a calling to some type of ministry.

Scriptures mentioned:

• Psalm 1 (the whole chapter)
• Ephesians 4 (Please read the whole chapter)
• Numbers 12:3 Now this man Moshe was very humble, more so than anyone on earth.
• Philippians 2:12 So, my dear friends, just as you have always obeyed when I was with you, it is even more important that you obey now when I am away from you: keep working out your deliverance with fear and trembling,
• Mark 3:25 …and if a household is divided against itself, that household can't survive.
• James 1:6 But let him ask in faith, for he who doubts is like a wave of the sea driven and tossed by the wind. (NKJV)
• Colossians 3:14-15 Above all these, clothe yourselves with love, which binds everything together perfectly; and let the shalom which comes from the Messiah be your heart's decision-maker, for this is why you were called to be part of a single Body. (CJB)

In this episode, Krysta and Traci discuss Ephesians Chapter 3. They begin with a recap of what was revealed to them about unity in Messiah and the secret plan. In Chapter 3, the theme of unity continues as they explore the ideas of being "joint heirs" with the Jewish people in what God has promised.

Key Points:

• The Hebrew letter of the day is the "hey," (ה), with a numeric value of five. This numeric value is significant because it represents the 5 books of the Torah. The word light shows up 5 times in the first day of creation in Genesis, and the hey (ה) represents divine breath, revelation, and light (See https://hebrewforchristians.org/Grammar/Unit_One/Aleph-Bet/Hey/hey.html).
• Sha'ul (Paul), a knowledgeable Jewish scholar, was called to preach the Good News to the Gentiles.
• The mystery that Paul had revealed was that Gentile believers in the Messiah may now be a part of God's chosen people.
• There is a difference between knowing about God's love and understanding His love for us in our hearts and our minds.
• The Lord wants us to succeed in the plans he has made for us, and He does not want us to be bound up in shame or guilt.

Scriptures mentioned:

• Ephesians 3 (Please read the whole chapter)
• Ephesians 3: 15 – 19 For this reason I bow my knees to the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, from whom the whole family in heaven and earth is named, that He would grant you, according to the riches of His glory, to be strengthened with might through His Spirit in the inner man, that Christ may dwell in your hearts through faith; that you, being rooted and grounded in love, may be able to comprehend with all the saints what is the width and length and depth and height— to know the love of Christ which passes knowledge; that you may be filled with all the fullness of God. (NKJV)

In this episode, the hosts, Krysta and Traci, finish their discussion of Ephesians Chapter 2. The sisters recap what was revealed to them about unity in the second chapter and discuss the Good News of peace. In chapter 2, the theme of unity has been in the forefront through our union with the Messiah and God's gift of deliverance.

Key Points:

• We were strangers/foreigners – without a God.
• The mystery was woven into ancient times, as we see Gentiles, such as Ruth and Rahab, grafted into the line of Yeshua (Jesus).
• The dividing wall or m'chitzah in the temple area kept Gentiles separated in the outer courtyard, as they were not permitted to enter the inner sanctuary (View image at https://larshaukeland.com/bits-pieces/archeology/ephesians/the-dividing-wall-of-the-court-of-the-gentiles-in-herods-temple-ephesians-2/).
• Once separated from God and His promises, we have been brought in (through unity in Messiah) as citizens (single new humanity).
• The tomb is like a womb, in that we can be reborn into Him as a new creature, leaving the old self behind.
• It is important to consider our foundation, which is on the apostles and the prophets, with Yeshua (Jesus) as the cornerstone (Ephesians 2:20).

Scriptures mentioned: (Complete Jewish Bible version)

• Ephesians 2: 11-23 (Please read the whole chapter)
• Leviticus 19:33 - 34 If a foreigner stays with you in your land, do not do him wrong. Rather, treat the foreigner staying with you like the native-born among you – you are to love him as yourself, for you were foreigners in the land of Egypt; I am ADONAI your God.
• John 7: 37 – 39 Now on the last day of the festival, Hoshana Rabbah, Yeshua stood and cried out, "If anyone is thirsty, let him keep coming to me and drinking! 38 Whoever puts his trust in me, as the Scripture says, rivers of living water will flow from his inmost being!" 39 (Now he said this about the Spirit, whom those who trusted in him were to receive later — the Spirit had not yet been given, because Yeshua had not yet been glorified.)

In this episode, the hosts, Krysta and Traci, continue their series on Ephesians. The sisters share what was revealed to them about the second chapter, inviting listeners to pray, read, meditate on the content, then continue in this process as they continue through the series. Unity is a key theme in Ephesians, building on the unity theme from prior episodes. In chapter 2, the theme of unity comes to the forefront through our union with the Messiah and God's gift of deliverance.

Key Points:

• The Hebrew letter dalet (ד) is the fourth letter of the Hebrew aleph-bet (alphabet), representing the number 4, and symbolizing lowliness and the realization of our impoverishment. The ancient pictograph resembles a closed tent door, whereas the classic Hebrew script depicts a needy person bent over. (Learn more at https://hebrewforchristians.org/Grammar/Unit_One/Aleph-Bet/Dalet/dalet.html)
• ADONAI's sovereignty is apparent throughout chapters 1 and 2 of Ephesians.
• Disobedience to God meant obedience to the Ruler of the Powers of the Air.
• Adonai rescued us from wrath due to our natural condition, in which we obeyed our old nature, and brought us to life along with the Messiah.
• Our deliverance, even our trusting, is God's gift of grace.
• We were strangers/foreigners – without a God
• The dividing wall or m'chitzah in the temple area kept Gentiles separated in the outer courtyard, as they were not permitted to enter the inner sanctuary. (View image at https://larshaukeland.com/bits-pieces/archeology/ephesians/the-dividing-wall-of-the-court-of-the-gentiles-in-herods-temple-ephesians-2/)
• Once separated from God and His promises, we have been brought in (through unity in Messiah) as citizens (single new humanity)

Scriptures mentioned: (Complete Jewish Bible version)

• Eph 1: 7 – 12 In union with him, through the shedding of his blood, we are set free – our sins are forgiven; this accords with the wealth of the grace he has lavished on us. In all his wisdom and insight he has made known to us his secret plan, which by his own will he destined beforehand in connection with the Messiah and will put into effect when the time is ripe – his plan to place everything in heaven and on earth under the Messiah's headship. Also in union with him we were given an inheritance, we who were picked in advance according to the purpose of the One who effects everything in keeping with the decision of his will.

In this episode, Krysta and Traci begin a series on Ephesians. The sisters share what was revealed to them regarding the first chapter, inviting listeners to pray, read, meditate, and then continue reading the book as the series continues over the next several episodes. Unity is a key theme in Ephesians, building on the unity theme from prior episodes.

Key Points:

• The Hebrew letter gimmel ג is the third letter of the Hebrew aleph-bet (alphabet), representing the number 3, and symbolizing tzedakah (generosity), giving, redemption, and the Holy Spirit proceeding out from the Father and the Son. The Holy Spirit is our helper (the Aleph #1 and the Bet #2 equal the Gimmel # 3). (Learn more at https://hebrewforchristians.org/Grammar/Unit_One/Aleph-Bet/Gimmel/gimmel.html)
• The words "in him" or "in the Messiah" are used at least 20 times in the book of Ephesians.
• Gentile believers are addressed as chosen ones, signifying the unity they share in Messiah.
• The opening blessing in Ephesians 1:3 is typical of a Hebrew b'rakha (prayer), representing the Jewish culture of Sha'ul (Paul) that continued in the early church.
• The text clearly states that every spiritual blessing was given to us who trust in the Messiah in advance, thus we must persevere to walk in the spirit and remember who we are in the Messiah.
• God makes us holy in the Messiah; it is not something we can do for ourselves.
• Adonai intended, in advance, to be close to us.
• Knowing God is the key to our trusting Him and recognizing the blessing and power we have in unity with the Messiah.
• We can seek to know him more by studying His Word (the Bible), asking the Holy Spirit, our Helper, to teach us.

Scriptures mentioned: (Complete Jewish Bible Version)

• Ephesians 1 (Please read the whole chapter)
• 1:3 – Praised be Adonai, Father of our Lord Yeshua the Messiah, who in the Messiah has blessed us with every spiritual blessing in heaven.
• 1:4 – In the Messiah, he chose us in love before the creation of the universe to be holy and without defect in his presence.
• 1:5, 6 – He determined in advance that through Yeshua the Messiah we would be his sons – in keeping with his pleasure and purpose – so that we would bring him praise commensurate with the glory of the grace he gave us through the Beloved One.
• 1:18, 19 – I pray that he will give light to the eyes of your hearts, so that you will understand the hope to which he has called you, what rich glories there are in the inheritance he has promised his people, and how surpassingly great is his power working in us who trust him.
• 2 Corinthians 4:16 - This is why we do not lose courage. Though our outer self is heading for decay, our inner self is being renewed daily.
• 2 Peter 1:3 - God's power has given us everything we need for life and godliness, through our knowing the One who called us to his own glory and goodness.
