Ever feel like life’s one long game of Jewish geography—except instead of cousins, you’re trying to find direction? Well, you’re in luck! In this episode of Links to Messiah, we will unpack the Hebrew name of God, Jehovah Ra’ah—AKA, “The Lord My Shepherd.” Think of it like this: If God’s the shepherd, we’re the sheep. And let’s be honest, some days we’re more “wandering in the wilderness” than “led beside still waters.”

We are diving into what it really means to be cared for by the ultimate Shepherd—one who doesn’t just keep you from falling into a ditch but also makes sure you’re spiritually well-fed (no dry matzo here!).

And speaking of nourishment—introducing The Shabbat Club! It’s like a VIP membership, but instead of points, you will enter into peaceful rest the Lord graciously offers us. This family-friendly initiative helps you build a weekly rhythm of rest, reflection, and—let’s face it—good food. We’re talking devotionals, activities, and a fresh look at Psalm 23 that’ll make you say, Baruch Hashem (Praise the Lord), I needed that!

So, grab a bagel (or whatever keeps you going) and tune in!

Building a legacy doesn’t happen in the future. It starts today! Every decision, every moment shared with family, shapes the legacy you’re creating. How will you build a legacy of faith and love for your children and grandchildren?

One way to start is with our Fall Feast Boxes, designed to bring the Jewish feasts into your home and point to Jesus as the Messiah. With crafts, activities, and spiritual resources, these boxes create meaningful family traditions.

In this episode, we continue to dive into the Hebrew name of God. This week, we learn about Adonai—meaning Lord and Master. (Yes, the one actually in charge when you think you're running the show!) We break down how this name beautifully reflects God’s leadership and guidance in our daily lives—because let’s be honest, we all need a little divine GPS.

But it’s not just talk! The episode includes fun, family-friendly activities to help everyone—yes, even your hard-to-please teenager—trust in God and build stronger family bonds. Plus, listeners are invited to join the Shabbat Club for more resources and some good old-fashioned Jewish community vibes.

In this episode, we take a fun journey into the Shabbat Club! Think of it as a super cool club where families learn about God together. This week, the focus is on one of God's Hebrew names: El Elyon, which means “The Most High God.” Join us as we dive into why this name is so special, shares stories from the Bible, and even connects it to Jesus’ awesome authority. Plus, there are fun activities for your family to do together that help you learn, grow, and feel closer to God—kind of like a spiritual scavenger hunt!

Takeaways for Kids and Families:

• Shabbat Club = Family Fun with God! It’s like a weekly adventure where everyone gets to learn more about God together.
• El Elyon Means “The Most High God”: Basically, God is the biggest, strongest, and most amazing of all! (Even more powerful than superheroes.)
• God’s Got This! No matter what’s happening in your life, you can trust that God is in charge.
• Jesus and El Elyon: Jesus shows us how awesome and powerful God is—and how much He loves us!
• God Knows You: Like, really knows you—your heart, your dreams, and even what your favorite ice cream flavor is.
• Family Bonding: Doing these activities together helps everyone grow closer to God—and to each other. Bonus: They’re actually fun!
• Look at the Stars! Next time you see the stars at night, remember that God made them all... and He made you, too!

Join the Shabbat Club! It’s the perfect way to make new friends, have fun, and learn about God as a family. Grab your family, bring your curiosity, and get ready to grow closer to God—one fun activity at a time!

Welcome back to Season 2 of the Links to Messiah podcast! After a short "detour" (a.k.a. life), I am back! I am refreshed and ready to share some reflections of what's been happening since our last episode.

This episode dives into the Hebrew name El Shaddai—spoiler: it’s all about trusting in God’s mighty power—and shows how this divine concept can fit snugly into the chaos of everyday life. I am dishing out fun family activities to bring the teachings to life because faith without action is like a balloon without helium—just not ready to soar!

Today, you will learn more about Shabbat Club, a membership program that sprinkles a little Shabbat joy into your family’s week. Think devotionals, activities, and, yes, a guaranteed break from your to-do list (finally, right?).

So, tune in, relax, and maybe laugh along as I remind you (and myself) to keep calm and Shabbat on.

In this engaging conversation, I speak with Phin, a seven-year-old, about his experiences with family, homeschooling, and the activities included in the Fall Feast Box. We discuss the joys of making challah, the responsibilities of being the oldest sibling, and the meaningful activities that promote learning and community engagement. Phin shares his favorite activities from the box, including making cards for Rosh Hashanah and a prayer tree for neighbors. The conversation highlights the importance of family, creativity, and connection in a child's life.

This is the most emotional and painful podcast I have ever recorded. I prayed, debated in my brain and thought deeply about releasing it. I wasn't sure. I'm still not sure. That's not really true... I am confident it is the right step to take. But it's scary. It's hard. It's the most vulnerable I have been publicly regarding the tragic and unexpected death of our son, David, in March of 2023. I am trusting God to use it for His glory because I am still picking up the pieces and probably will be for years to come.

If you know someone who is grieving, I highly recommend a podcast called "The Grief Mentor." Teresa Davis is the host, and she will always point you right into Scripture and the arms of Jesus. She has helped me and countless other who are grieving the death of a child. Click here to visit her website.

In this episode, we talk about why Old Testament stories like Noah’s Ark, Moses, David and Goliath, and Jonah still matter today. These stories teach important lessons about faith, courage, and forgiveness. We also share ways to make the stories fun and meaningful for kids. By connecting these stories to the teachings of Jesus, kids can see how faith helps us all face life’s challenges.
