Messianic Torah Observant Israel

We recommend listening to the teaching, From Slavery to Freedom (Freeing Your Mind) | Part 4, 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:
• Constantly bombarded by trials
• There has to be a way!
• It’s hard to be vulnerable and own your stuff
• Are you correctable?
• How much does the physical stuff interfere with or influence?
• What influences us?
• Be at peace with what it is
• The mind of Yeshua vs. the mind of the flesh
• Your mother didn’t care if you cried?
• What I want vs. what Yah wants
• I feel convicted in my spirit about “doom scrolling”
• Just keep going!
• How do I navigate boundaries gracefully?

#mtoi #steveberkson #torahobservance

Using the Exodus story as a powerful metaphor, Rabbi Steve Berkson beautifully guides us through the journey from slavery to freedom. This message encourages us to believe in the possibility of change and deliverance, inspired by the Israelites’ escape from Egypt. It reminds us that real deliverance involves personal growth, not just external help. 

Continuing to explore Yahweh's role in our path to freedom, Rabbi Steve Berkson references Romans 8 and James 1 to highlight that Paul was contrasting the fleshly mind (human nature) with the mind of the Spirit of Elohim.

• James 1:3-4 – Trials develop endurance 
• James 1:6-8 – Ask for wisdom

• James 1:14-15 – Desire births action

Using the Exodus story as a powerful metaphor, Rabbi Steve Berkson beautifully guides us through the journey from slavery to freedom. This message encourages us to believe in the possibility of change and deliverance, inspired by the Israelites’ escape from Egypt. It reminds us that real deliverance involves personal growth, not just external help. 

From Romans chapters 6 and 7, Rabbi Berkson expounds on the internal struggle between the law of the flesh and the law of the mind, emphasizing the importance of winning the battle of the mind for true freedom. Using analogies and biblical references, he illustrates this struggle and highlights the need for us to actively choose to follow the law of righteousness rather than the law of sin.

#mtoi #steveberkson #torahobservance

Using the Exodus story as a powerful metaphor, Rabbi Steve Berkson beautifully guides us through the journey from slavery to freedom. This message encourages us to believe in the possibility of change and deliverance, inspired by the Israelites’ escape from Egypt. It reminds us that real deliverance involves personal growth, not just external help. 

The focus then gently shifts to Ephesians 4:17, urging us to let go of “futility of the mind” and embrace a fresh way of thinking and living in alignment with Elohim’s will.

It also highlights how a hardened heart, filled with pride and ego, can block us from recognizing our faults and receiving forgiveness. This hardening, which often stems from a distorted view of reality and denial of truth, can foster callousness that hinders our spiritual growth. Overcoming it calls for humility, awareness of our true nature, and a willingness to shed the old ways to develop a renewed mindset inspired by Messiah Yeshua’s teachings.

From Slavery to Freedom (Freeing Your Mind) | Part 1

• Intro
• Exodus 6 - Yahweh has heard your moaning and groaning
• The four parts of Yahweh’s role in our journey to freedom
• What is enslaving us today? (Ephesians 4:17)
• Fly or splat - Removing the roadblocks 
• Renew the spirit of your mind
• Philippians 2 - Let this mind be in you…
• Ephesians 4:24-29 – How we should behave 
• When you do this, you grieve the set-apart spirit 
• He causes you to recognize what is enslaving you
• He shows you the way to escape 
• The growth comes in the struggle
