Reunion Roadmap

There is more to hope than sitting passively and waiting for God to move. As Barry Phillips and David Jones explain, hope is a verb. That means for hope to be fulfilled, someone has to take action.

How do we know when we need rain, and when we have too much? As David Jones and Barry Phillips explain, what we experience in the natural world teaches us about the spiritual rain we also need to live as our Creator intends.

It's hard to love someone if we don't know what love is. So what exactly is love? That's the question David Jones and Barry Phillips try to answer.

How do we get beyond identifying ourselves as sinners saved by grace? In a sense, we don't get beyond, but if that remains the center of our identity, we miss so much more that our Creator and Redeemer has for us. Barry Phillips and David Jones have some deep thoughts about this topic.

What does the Feast of Tabernacles (Sukkot) tell us about eternity? More than we might think, of course, as with all things of God. In this discussion, David Jones and Barry Phillips investigate some of those eternal implications of the eight days of Sukkot.

The story of Jacob and Esau is a puzzle. The Bible says Isaac loved Esau and Rebecca loved Jacob, but there's more to the story in the original Hebrew than what we read in translation. That's what Barry Phillips and David Jones investigate in this conversation. It shouldn't be a surprise that what they find has a lot to do with God's plan of redemption for Israel and all the nations.

We read in 2 Peter 1:4 that followers of Messiah Yeshua are supposed to become "partakers of the divine nature." What exactly does that mean? Is there anything in the Torah about that - maybe something in the Fall Feasts that helps us understand our interaction with God and His divine nature? David Jones and Barry Phillips have some thoughts on these questions.

In the Bible we read about sheep as a metaphor for people. There is a reason God put that metaphor in His book – a reason connected to His land and people of Israel. 

Samuel and Keila Wearp have learned about that through hands-on experience. These newlyweds had a working honeymoon in Israel, where they led a team of Christian volunteers in an expedition to shear sheep on a farm in the Biblical heartland of Judea. It was the first adventure of their new ministry, Rising Sparks. 

Israel began as a nation of shepherds. Abraham was a shepherd, as were David and Deborah. Shepherds are still important in Israel today as the Jewish people reclaim the land God gave them. What may be surprising is who these shepherds are, and the importance of their work for the future of Israel. These Jewish pioneers are walking out the commandments and promises of God to reclaim and settle their ancestral homeland. 

How does support for Israel have anything to do with the prophesied Messianic Age? Samuel and Keila have some thoughts about that. Their understanding of Messiah’s Kingdom is what inspires them to do things like lead a team of sheep shearers to Judea to help Jewish shepherds!

Among the uncomfortable sayings of Messiah Yeshua (Jesus Christ), one of the most difficult is this:

We philosophize over what Yeshua meant until we see it in action. It can be said that we all saw a man lay down his life for his friends when Charlie Kirk was violently taken from this world on September 10, 2025. 

What does Charlie’s death mean? What can we learn from his life? Peter Wales of Brisbane, Australia, has thought much about that. In fact, he wrote a song about it – although he didn’t realize until after Charlie’s death that his song, “Strong and True,” speaks a message about Charlie’s legacy. 

Like so many other songs Peter has written, this one was based on a famous poem: “If” by Rudyard Kipling. In this conversation, Peter shares the inspiration for the song, his thoughts on Charlie Kirk’s global impact, and what it means for Jesus followers across the spectrum of  Christianity.

Be sure to listen to the entire program to hear “Strong and True” at the end.

One great revelation of the Torah Awakening is that disciples of Messiah Yeshua are grafted in, or adopted into, the house of Jacob - God's Covenant Nation of Israel. However, as David Jones and Barry Phillips explain, that revelation, should lead us to an attitude of loving humility, not arrogant boasting.
