This week we’re diving deep into the Feast of Trumpets (Yom Teruah)—a biblical festival that echoes across time and points us to Jesus. Far more than an ancient ritual, this feast is God’s divine interruption into human culture. It’s His trumpet call—a megaphone to wake up His people and reorient our lives back to Him.

📖 In this episode, we’ll explore:

The roots of the Feast of Trumpets in Leviticus 23 and Numbers 29

Why trumpets were used in Scripture: announcing God’s presence, declaring war, and proclaiming kings

How Yom Teruah shapes our understanding of Jesus as Lord of the Feasts

What the “trumpets” in your own life may be—and how God interrupts our hustle with His presence

🔥 Whether you’re curious about the biblical feasts, hungry to grow in your walk with Jesus, or just exploring faith, this teaching will challenge and encourage you.

The Final Banquet: Matthew 26 and the Last Supper | HHP Podcast

All of Jesus’ teaching, miracles, and mission point to one climactic moment: the final banquet in Matthew 26. Commonly known as the Last Supper—or Pesach in the Messianic tradition—this intimate meal with His disciples was more than bread and wine. It was the unveiling of the new covenant, the promise of a greater feast yet to come, and an invitation to join the eternal table of God’s kingdom.

In this episode of the HHP Podcast, Pastor Chris Franke (HFF Church, OKC) unpacks how:

The Last Supper fulfills the Torah, prophets, and Jeremiah’s promise of a new covenant

Jesus reframes Passover from remembering Egypt to remembering Him

The table points forward to the eternal wedding feast in the new creation

We are invited—not obligated—to sit at His kingdom banquet today

✨ The table is set. The feast is ready. The only question: Will you come?

The HHP Podcast | The Kingdom Banquet: Feeding the Multitudes (Matthew 14–15)

This week on the HHP Podcast, Pastor Chris Franke (Senior Pastor of HFF Church, Oklahoma City) continues our journey through the banquet imagery in the Gospel of Matthew. After looking at the Kingdom table in Matthew 9—where Jesus ate with tax collectors and sinners, sparking outrage from the religious leaders—we now turn to one of the most famous banquets of all: the feeding of the 5,000 and the 4,000 (Matthew 14–15).

These miraculous feedings were more than meals in the wilderness. They were living testimonies that Jesus is the Bread of Life, the Living Water, and the fulfillment of Israel’s long-awaited hope. Through breaking, blessing, and giving bread, Jesus not only fed hungry crowds but foreshadowed the communion table and revealed that the Kingdom of Heaven isn’t far off—it’s here, now, and available in Him.

We’re breaking from our usual quick-hit HHP Podcast style to bring you a rich “table talk” conversation with long-time friends Michael & Selah Hirsch — authors of the brand-new book Pressing Pause, all about the beauty and gift of Sabbath.

This isn’t theory. For years, the Hirsch family lived life at full speed — leading organizations, raising four kids, running triathlons, and building businesses. But then God invited them into something they never expected: the rest, rhythm, and joy of Sabbath.

We talk about:

    - Their journey from nonstop busyness to Sabbath peace

Whether you’re curious about Sabbath, hungry for a deeper walk with God, or just need permission to slow down, this episode will inspire and challenge you.

Can you imagine getting invited to sit at the table with Jesus Himself—the Messiah—only to say… "I'm too busy"?

In this week’s episode of the HHP Podcast, Pastor Chris Franke rewinds from Matthew 22 to Matthew 9:10–13 to explore a deeper layer of the banquet metaphor. This time, Jesus isn’t dining with kings or religious elites—but with tax collectors and sinners.

📖 What does it mean when the King of Heaven reclines at a table with the outcasts?

🕯️ We’ll discuss:

The historical and cultural meaning of reclining at a feast

The contrast between the Passover and Greek symposiums

Why Jesus’ choice of dinner companions shattered religious expectations

How self-righteousness still divides us today

The power of grace and restoration at the table of the Kingdom

This isn’t just about meals—it’s about mission. Jesus didn't come for those who think they have it all figured out. He came for those who know they need saving. And His table is open to them… and to us.

🙏 If this episode has blessed you, consider sharing it with someone who needs to know they’re invited too.

What does a banquet have to do with the Kingdom of Heaven?

In this episode of the HHP Podcast, Pastor Chris Franke explores the powerful imagery of the banquet throughout Scripture—especially in Matthew 22, where Jesus tells the parable of the wedding feast. This isn't just about food, fellowship, or fun. It’s about the radical invitation of the Gospel, the seriousness of sacred space, and the glory of entering God's Kingdom on His terms—not ours.

🕯️ We’ll explore:

Why many rejected the King’s invitation

What it means to show up “unprepared”

How the banquet reveals the heart of the Gospel

The cultural context of feasting and its eternal implications

How this connects to the Messianic understanding of God’s feasts

Whether you’ve studied Matthew for years or you're just starting, this conversation will challenge, encourage, and hopefully deepen your understanding of what it truly means to be invited to God’s table.

We don’t need more fans of Jesus—we need people on mission with Jesus.

In today’s episode of the HHP Podcast, Pastor Chris Franke (Senior Pastor at HFF Church in OKC) gets real about the tension many modern believers feel: how do we actually follow Jesus in a culture built on comfort, convenience, and self-promotion?

We’re asking the hard questions:

From foxes and nests to American Christianity and TikTok theology, this episode unpacks the urgent need for believers to move beyond safe religion and step into radical obedience.

🎯 Topics include:

The difference between fans and followers

How comfort has become the counterfeit calling

The cost of Kingdom living in modern culture

Living on mission—right where you are

What it means to apprentice Jesus in daily life

It’s time to stop asking, “What’s my purpose?” and start asking, “What does obedience look like today?”

“Foxes have holes, and birds of the air have nests, but the Son of Man has no place to lay His head.”

In this episode of the HHP Podcast, Pastor Chris Frankie (Senior Pastor of HFF Church in OKC) dives deep into one of Jesus’ most poetic and challenging statements from Matthew 8:20. What seems like a soft metaphor becomes a direct confrontation with our desire for comfort, control, and stability.

🔹 What does it really mean to follow Jesus?

This isn't just about ancient foxes and birds—this is about the uncomfortable call to live a life on mission, just like our Messiah. Discipleship comes at a cost, and Jesus never hides the price.

🔥 Join us as we unpack themes of:

Self-denial and mission

The tension between comfort and calling

The divinity and humanity of the Son of Man

What it means to truly apprentice the Rabbi from Nazareth

🔥 What you’ll hear:

💡 “Truth without grace will crush. Grace without truth will deceive. Jesus calls us to both.”

We’ve all heard it: “Whatever you ask in My name, I will do it.” But what does that really mean?

In this episode, Pastor Chris dives deep into John 14:13–14 to dismantle the myth of a "vending machine God" and explore what it truly means to pray in alignment with Jesus' character, mission, and Kingdom.

✅ Why prayer is not about personal gain

🙏 Jesus still answers prayers—but not on our terms. Real prayer is relational, purposeful, and always rooted in surrender.
