We recommend listening to the teaching, Hasatan (Did the Devil Make You Do It?) | Part 18, before listening to this episode.

Afterburn: also known in the fitness world as the “afterburn effect.” Simply put, the more intense the exercise, the more oxygen your body consumes afterward. 

This effect could occur spiritually after Rabbi Berkson's intense weekly teachings. This Afterburn Q&A session lets your mind and soul absorb more understanding (oxygen).

Some of the topics covered are:
• What are the ways we stay in him?
• Is a “leader” necessary for unity?
• Sinning or not?
• What does he mean by “lust of the eyes”? (1 John 2:16)
• Will I be accountable for this?
• Lazy, complacent, distracted 
• The answer came from the context
• Being stupid is not a sin?
• Emotional blockage?
• It’s painful to think about my family members who…
• That is a starting point 
• If you’re really in him, then you…
• I’ve lost that loving feeling
• Why we don’t use these songs in our praises 
• I don’t think the writer intended this…
• Will they be brought out at the last minute?

Your mind is not neutral ground.
It is the battlefield of spiritual warfare.

In this message, we break down how spiritual warfare often targets the mind first—through subtle thoughts, distraction, fear, and compromise. Using Scripture and practical insight, this teaching explains why vigilance matters, how the enemy operates, and what it means to stand firm and resist.

Discover the truth behind HaSatan and whether the devil really makes you do it.

Before diving in, we recommend watching the full teaching first, If the Law Is Gone, What Is Lawless? | HaSatan (Did the Devil Make You Do It?)

Feeling stuck isn’t a lack of truth, it’s a lack of movement.

Growth requires action, not waiting.

In this teaching, we talk about why staying still is never neutral, how delayed obedience keeps us stuck, and why many of our struggles are symptoms rather than the real issue. Growth requires action, applied knowledge, and personal responsibility.

You already have what you need. The question is whether you’re willing to move forward with it.

This message challenges passivity, complaining, and waiting on others, while calling us back to find our purpose and encouraging us towards intentional growth.

If you’ve felt stuck, frustrated, or unsure of your next step, this teaching is for you.

What does it really mean for something to be “Shabbat worthy”?
This Q&A addresses real questions asked during our monthly In The Zone meeting.

This video is part 2 of a Q&A session from our monthly “In The Zone” meeting, where real-life questions are discussed through a Torah-based lens.

“In The Zone” weekends happen once a month, bringing together people from around the world who are part of MTOI (Messianic Torah Observant Israel). During these sessions, participants are invited to ask honest, practical questions about walking out their faith—covering topics like boundaries, self-control, Shabbat, and daily life decisions.

This particular video features the local Beth Shalom Q&A from November 2025.

• What are you doing with what you've been given in this life?
• Boundaries or protocols?
• Using my creativity on Shabbat?
• Is it Shabbat worthy?
• Boundaries and protocols continued
• Know your limits
• Doing a visitation on Shabbat?
• Take care of yourself
• Self-control
• Do not love the world—what is the ‘world’?
• The Defender?
