May 15, 2025 Ep. 68 Gender Roles, Burnout & The Idol of American Patriotism: Good Patriot - Katie Bertino
Katie Bertino built a powerful online platform— Good Patriot—rallying more than a hundred thousand people in defense of gun rights and constitutional freedoms. But at the height of her influence, Katie hit a wall: physically ill, emotionally drained, and spiritually depleted. In this episode, she opens up about the hidden toll of being an influential voice in a male-dominated space and the burnout that forced her to step back.
Katie shares her journey of healing—how she restored her mind and body naturally, and why she began questioning the idolization of American patriotism within Christian circles. We also explore her shift toward a Torah Observant lifestyle, the transformation of her online presence from political commentary to homesteading and natural health, and her thoughts on gender roles, holistic living, and a scriptural approach to political engagement.

May 08, 2025 Ep. 67 Teenager Horrifies His Pastor & Priest With Torah Questions: Anthony Cushing's Story
"They Told Me Not to Talk About It" — Anthony Cushing's Search for Truth, Torah, and Yeshua
As a young adult navigating life on his own, Anthony Cushing began a deep, personal search for meaning, spirituality, and God. He visited both Catholic and Free Methodist churches looking for answers—but when he started asking *hard questions* about the Torah (the first five books of the Bible), he was met with resistance. Church leaders told him to *keep quiet* about his exploration.
In this powerful podcast interview, Cushing shares how he handed his pastor copies of The Truth: Reformation 2.0 book (https://www.thewaydoc.com/collections/the-truth-reformation-2-0). The response? His pastor was *“horrified,”* never returned the books, and accused him of *leading people away from Christ.* He was even told that his spiritual search was “unhealthy.”
Cushing recounts a pivotal moment when he challenged his pastor with *Isaiah 66:15–17,* a prophecy describing the return of Yeshua and the judgment of those eating swine’s flesh. His question: “Why is eating pig still a bad thing when Jesus returns?” You’ll want to hear how the pastor responded.

Michael Ohman—once a heavy metal musician in the UK, now a Torah teacher and discipleship leader in Canada—unpacks the power of intentional discipleship—why it’s essential for spiritual growth, why so few pursue it, and how it can transform your life in real time. He also dives into the differences between men’s and women’s discipleship, how to give counsel without disrupting family order, and why our emotional reactions often expose the true state of our hearts.
In this conversation, Michael shares his incredible journey from @TheOliveBranchFellowship to his current work with @Riverbranchfellowship, a Shabbat ministry, and a unique discipleship community called The Donkey Stable.

Pastor Isac Rodriguez of Congregación El Faro in Pasadena, TX, shares how his church transitioned from Sunday to Shabbat and Easter to Passover. He reflects on his upbringing and how his Baptist pastor father and his mother instilled values that kept him and his brothers living pure and following God.
Discovering the Torah transformed Isac's life, leading him to guide his congregation to embrace Shabbat, clean eating, and the Leviticus 23 feasts, and eventually inspiring his pastor brothers (and their churches!) to do the same.
