Hebrews 13 brings the powerful book of Hebrews to a close with the author’s practical guidance. After the soaring theology of earlier chapters, the author shifts focus to how believers should live in light of those truths—urging them to demonstrate genuine love, maintain purity and contentment, follow good leaders, resist strange teachings, and willingly identify with Yeshua even when it costs.

Hebrews 12 delivers one of the most stirring and urgent calls in all of Scripture. It exhorts believers to persevere in their faith, endure hardship for Messiah’s Name, and keep their focus on Yeshua so they will not fall away but finish the race strong. In this episode of his verse-by-verse series on the book of Hebrews, Kevin explores God’s loving discipline as proof that we are true sons and da
Ep. 90 | What True Faith Really Looks Like | Hebrews Series Pt. 12
Faith is the confidence of things hoped for and the conviction of things not seen. In this episode of his verse-by-verse series on the book of Hebrews, Kevin walks through the powerful Hall of Faith in chapter 11, showing how Abel, Enoch, Noah, Abraham, Sarah, Moses and many others lived by unwavering faith in God’s promises—even when they were far away.

Ep. 89 | This Is How You Can Be Close to God | Hebrews Series Pt. 11

How could the God of the universe forget something? Well, He does forget—all the time—because if He remembered this one thing, that would be very bad... for us. In this episode of his verse-by-verse series on the book of Hebrews, Kevin reveals from Hebrews 10:1-18 how God forgetting leads to God forgiving.

Ep. 87 | Yeshua Is a Better Sacrifice for a Better Tabernacle | Hebrews Series Pt. 9
The levitical priesthood was more than God’s means of making atonement for, and forgiving the sins, of the people. It also served as an example of the pattern for an eternal priesthood—one that serves the true heavenly tabernacle. In this episode of his verse-by-verse series, Kevin explains how Hebrews 9 reveals Yeshua's awesome sacrifice by which He mediates the enactment of a new covenant with I
Ep. 86 | Yeshua Is a Better Priest for a Better Covenant | Hebrews Series Pt. 8
The Master Yeshua has become the guarantee of a better covenant! The priests appointed by Torah were weak men, defiled by their own sin, and subject to death. But Yeshua’s priesthood is perfect, undefiled, permanent, and indestructible, one that can serve a better covenant—a new covenant. In this episode of his verse-by-verse series, Kevin unpacks Hebrews 8, to reveal an approachable God by way of
Ep. 85 | How Yeshua Can Be a Priest Forever | Hebrews Series Pt. 7
The Torah says that only one who is descended from the tribe of Levi can serve as a priest. So how can Yeshua, who comes from the tribe of Judah, qualify to serve as a priest forever? In this episode of his verse-by-verse series, Kevin looks at Hebrews 7, unpacking the mysterious figure of Melchizedek and one of Scripture’s most powerful declarations of Yeshua’s a greater, unchangeable, and everla
Ep. 84 | Can You Permanently Fall Away From God? | Hebrews Series Pt. 6
What happens when we as believers in Messiah don’t mature in our faith? Are we risking anything by not growing in our commitment to the Master? In this episode of his verse-by-verse series, Kevin looks at Hebrews chapters 5 and 6, and one of Scripture’s gravest warnings, which we would all do well to heed.

Ep. 82 | What It Really Means to Enter Into God’s Rest | Hebrews Series Pt. 4
The author of Hebrews teaches us that there is a Shabbat-keeping for the people of God, that we may stop from our works, and enter into His rest. But what if the Good News of our eternal Sabbath rest is only part of what it means to truly enter in? In this episode of his verse-by-verse series on the book of Hebrews, Kevin reveals a side of chapter 4 that you may have never seen before.

Ep. 78 | Was the Torah Really Given on Shavuot?
It’s universally accepted and taught in Judaism, Messianic Judaism, Jewish roots, and every adjacent movement, that, without question, God gave Israel the Torah on Shavuot—that our observance of Shavuot should also celebrate the receiving of the Torah, because that momentous event occurred on the very same date as the Feast. But did it? In this episode, Kevin definitively answers whether the idea
Ep. 77 | Is Baptism Necessary for Salvation?
Baptism has historically been one of the most divisive topics among Christians. Entire denominations have been formed over disagreements about how to baptize, when to baptize, and, most importantly, whether or not baptism is necessary for salvation. In this in-depth episode, Kevin dives into the Scriptures to determine the biblical method of baptism, what baptism accomplishes, and if we can truly
Ep. 76 | Does the Old Testament Affirm Messiah as God?
Christians say that Jesus is God. But isn’t this understanding just a misinterpretation or twisting of Scripture? Or maybe it’s an invention of the New Testament authors, not embraced by Yeshua Himself. Isn’t the idea of a man being God in total conflict with the Hebrew Scriptures? Not so fast! In this episode, Kevin considers at the biblical legitimacy of Yeshua’s deity, and whether or not the He

Ep. 73 | Who Is the Holy Spirit? (Spirit Series Pt. 1)
The Holy Spirit is our invisible partner in living out the word of God in the service of the Master Yeshua. He is not some unknowable, mysterious force to be feared or ignored, nor is He a mystical spigot that we can switch on for our spiritual indulgence. To correctly understand and walk in the Spirit, we need biblical balance. In this first part of a 3-part series, Kevin reintroduces us to the H
Ep. 72 | NON-Inspirational Bible Quotes – Kevin’s Favorites!
Well-known inspirational Bible quotes often bring us comfort, encouragement, motivation, reassurance and strength. Yet we tend to gravitate toward such verses not just because they’re emotionally uplifting, but because they’re contextually sanitized, non-confrontational, and undemanding of us. Such a shallow use of the Bible robs us of the endless abundance of inspiration found all over the Script
Ep. 71 | Hope in a Hopeless Election
No matter how this year's presidential election turns out, there will still be grave concern for the future of our country. Many of us still believe that elections can save our country—can save us—and set things right. But according to the word of God, even while we participate in the electoral process, it is a fool’s errand to look for salvation from any man. In this episode, Kevin reminds us whe
Ep. 70 | Why Christians (& Messianics) Don’t Want to Follow the Real Jesus
The knowledge and reality of Yeshua’s sacrifice fills and touches us in our inmost being, producing thoughts and feelings of appreciation, gratitude, thankfulness, passion, and profound, overflowing joy. This is the Jesus that most believers know and are more than happy to follow. But while all this is true, the problem is that far too many believers have also mistaken that unheavy burden and easy
Ep. 69 | Did a Preincarnate Jesus Really Appear in the OT?
The mystery of Yeshua's divine dynamics as both fully God and fully man defies language and thought. Yet rather than be content to live with Scripture's unresolved tension of it, Christian theology has rationalized extrabiblical explanations—one of which is the concept of preincarnation. In this episode, Kevin searches the Old Testament for preincarnate, human-form appearances of Jesus, and consid
Ep. 68 | Is the Trinity Actually a Biblical Doctrine?
The Trinity is arguably the singular foundational doctrine of historical Christianity. The teaching of a triune godhead—of one God in three persons: the Father, Son and Holy Spirit—is at the center of the Christian creeds, and is universally accepted across denominational lines. But is it true that the God of Israel—whom Moses says is “One”—is, actually, also three? In this episode, Kevin looks at
Ep. 67 | 3 Bible Study Mistakes You Don’t Want to Make
They say “a little knowledge is a dangerous thing,” and nowhere is this more true than when it comes to using Bible study tools. While a seminary degree is hardly necessary to qualify someone to handle the Scriptures, one still needs to understand Bible tool basics in order to properly use them. In today's episode, Kevin demonstrates three major mistakes that people make with Bible tools, specifi
Ep. 66 | Are You Being Messianic JEWISH or Messianic JUDAISM-ISH?
Why is traditional, Rabbinic Judaism so deeply embedded in the culture and expression of the typical Messianic Jewish synagogue service and community? Why have Messianics adopted Judaism in this way? Does it actually make us better disciples of Messiah? In what way does Judaism really support and reinforce the Jewishness of a Messianic Jew? In this episode, Kevin explains the vast difference betwe
Ep. 65 | Go & Make Converts? Why Discipleship Is Dead
Yeshua gave us one main job: to make disciples. So why do so many Christians and Messiah-believers today look and act just like the world? Why don't they more closely resemble Yeshua? Why hasn't the generational passing down of doctrines and traditions been enough?

Ep. 64 | 5 Things Most Every Jewish Person Doesn’t Know
It might come as a surprise, but most Jewish people actually know very little about the Bible. Today's Jewish people have grown increasingly secular and humanistic, with no standard frame of reference where it comes to spiritual or religious topics. But despite the vast differences in beliefs among Jews, one thing you can almost always count on is that Jewish people are highly unlikely to know is
Ep. 63 | Not for Harm: How God Prunes the Body of Messiah
Could God be pruning the Body of Messiah? Would the Father ever separate believers from the vine of Yeshua? If so, why? Is the shrinking Body of Messiah evidence that God is at work?

Ep. 62 | Divorce & Remarriage: What the Bible Does (& Doesn’t) Say
God hates divorce, and the Bible has nothing even close to good to say about it. So why is no-fault divorce rampant in the Body of Messiah today? Why do believers allow their marriages to be torn apart by it? In this episode, Kevin lays out and explains what the Scriptures actually say about divorce and remarriage, then offers some biblically-based advice for believers who have been divorced, have
Ep. 61 | Why I Say “Yeshua” Not “YAHSHUA”
Many Messianic believers, rather than call the Messiah "Jesus," call Him by His Hebrew name "Yeshua." But some Messianics instead call Him something different, such as "Yahshua" or "Yahushua," incorporating the Sacred Name of God, יהוה. Why do they pronounce it like this, and can we know definitively which way is correct? In this episode, Kevin digs into the Hebrew to show us the correct pronuncia
Ep. 60 | Should We Say God’s Sacred Name יהוה YHVH?
The pronunciation of the Sacred Name of God—the Tetragrammaton, "Yahweh"—has been obscured in the Hebrew text of the Bible. Yet some say that not only can the Name be restored, it must be, because pronouncing it is necessary for salvation. In this episode, Kevin discusses this view of the Sacred Name and analyzes the Hebrew to determine if the correct pronunciation of יהוה has truly been lost.

Ep. 59 | How to Find the Bible’s Unwritten Principles
The Bible often plainly communicates how God expects us to think and act. But what if the Scriptures don’t speak directly to a specific thing we’re dealing with, or if they appear to be silent about a particular topic altogether? In this episode, Kevin demonstrates how to discern and apply biblical patterns and unwritten principles that God has implicitly encoded into the living word of Scripture.
Ep. 58 | Biblical Belief Is Near Extinction
If you thought biblical belief in the Body of Messiah today was slowly declining, you'd be mistaken—it's nearly extinct, and it's happening fast.

Ep. 57 | How to Do Biblical “Church”… WITHOUT a Church! (Called-Forth, Pt. 7)
The "church" of God—Yeshua's "Called-Forth"—was never meant to be based on form or structure, but on us: the people. In the Scriptures, we've been given a biblical pattern that reveals how we are supposed to work and function together as the Body of Messiah, and it looks nothing like "church" (or "Messianic synagogue") as usual. In this episode, Kevin wraps up his 7-part series about biblical "chu
Ep. 56 | Communion: What the Bible Really Says
Communion is one of the main sacramental rites of Christianity, holding a deeply personal, spiritual significance for millions of believers worldwide for generations. But is the ordinance of communion (or the eucharist) actually in the Bible? Did Jesus really institute a communion ceremony during His last supper? In this episode, Kevin challenges the traditions of Christianity's communion, then ex
Ep. 55 | The True Purpose of Church (Called-Forth, Pt. 6)
Ask most believers about the purpose of church, and they'll say it's for praise, worship and the teaching of God's word. But what if the Scriptures say no such thing? What if our ideas for why the church even exists has been completely and hopelessly wrong? In this episode, Kevin reveals the true, biblical purpose of "church"—what the Bible depicts for our believer's gatherings, for our believing
Ep. 54 | How the Book of Ya’aqov (James) Can Transform Your Faith
One of the most important books of the New Testament is, sadly, also one of the most overlooked: the book of James. Hidden all the way near the back in most Bible versions, James doesn’t tend to be a favorite. Maybe people just don’t find him inspirational enough. Maybe they don’t make it that far in their Bible reading. But when we overlook James, we undercut one of the most fundamental aspects o
Ep. 53 | WHEN the Biblical Church Should Meet (Called-Forth, Pt. 5)
Most active Christians and Messianics make it a priority to attend at least one Saturday or Sunday worship service. But should that weekly meeting really be our goal? Does participating in a once-a-week worship service truly reflect the Bible’s example for when we should gather ourselves together? In this episode, Kevin looks at what the Scriptures say regarding when and how often believers are su
Ep. 52 | WHERE the Biblical Church Would Meet (Called-Forth, Pt. 4)
When most people think of "church," they envision a building, an assembly hall, or some other kind of physical structure. But what if what that church building not only isn't "church," but isn't actually prescribed anywhere in the Bible? What if the biblical concept of church is far more simple and natural than that? In this episode, Kevin compares the idea of church buildings to where the biblica
Ep. 51 | Are Gentile Believers in Yeshua (Jesus) Part of Israel? (PART 2)
In the previous episode, Kevin extensively examined the Scriptures to determine if Christians or Messianic Gentiles become part of Israel through Yeshua.

Do they expand or enlarge Israel? Are Gentile believers now Israel?

Ep. 49 | The Organic Structure of Biblical Church (Called-Forth, Pt. 3)
The true "church" is not the buildings, but the people. And yet, the living organism of Yeshua's Body that is described in the Bible—of which we as believers are its members—has been replaced over time by complex organization and institutional structure. In this episode, Kevin takes us on a Scriptural survey that reveals the true functioning of the Body of Messiah, and exhorts us all to get back t
Ep. 48 | Who Is a Jew? (What the Bible Says, and Why It Matters)
What determines whether someone is Jewish? Is it strictly ethnic lineage, or is there something else? Is someone a Jew only if they have Jewish parents or grandparents? What if you have distant Jewish heritage? Can you gain or lose your identity as a Jew through conversion? Are Christians spiritual Jews? In this episode, Kevin addresses the confusion and wide range of questions about who the Bible

Almost every believer in Yeshua (Jesus) knows that we are "the church"—the Body of Messiah. Yet in practice, barely any of us see ourselves this way outside the context of worship services and congregational buildings. In this episode, Kevin makes the biblical description of our identity as "the church" clearer and more prominent in our minds—so that we'll never see "church" the same way ever agai
