* This originally aired as a video episode on YouTube HERE . Although most fall into two camps (obstinate naysayers or overzealous proponents), I want to propose that we *all* should step back and slow down. In this episode we'll examine some Christian-y buzzwords that are all about this event and ask some tough questions. I'm neither for nor against this. I merely desire what is true and genuine. We all must want to seek what is true and right, in patience, or we will risk being misled by what ...

* This originally aired as a video episode on YouTube HERE . In this episode we do a quick run-through of 15 verses in Isaiah to demonstrate how traditional Bible study has taught us a grave error. What is it? We have inherited a practice that allows us to pick and choose which biblical texts are "for us" and which ones are not. So what is the remedy? Let's find out! *As always, all notes used for this episode (including all Bible texts) are available to all who request by emailing us at pathtoz...

* This originally aired as a video episode on YouTube HERE . This installment examines our third individual within the series. This one appears in Acts chapter 13 and his example aligns with the two men that we presented in Part 1. He is marked by being one that made Yahweh's straight way crooked and was thereby called a son of the devil by Shaul (Paul). Let us hear and heed the warning that we have been presented so that we can be found ready for the last days falling away....

* This originally aired as a video episode on YouTube HERE . In this episode, we look into an account in 2 Timothy where Shaul (Paul) is delivering a warning of a people that will emerge in the last days. Interestingly, he uses two men from the days of Moses as examples. Two men that are mentioned nowhere else in the Bible but right here. Why?

I sat down and wrote some very brief thoughts about enduring well, in hard seasons of life that come... and thankfully go. (Text form: https://desh412.blogspot.com/2023/01/the-rains-will-end.html)

* This originally aired as a video episode on YouTube HERE . In this episode we'll examine the importance of what David declared in Psalm 119:41 when he cried out for "Salvation according to Yahweh's Word." If we have received Yeshua/Salvation in ANY other way, it is opposed to the One Way that Father prescribed. If you read the Word, and it reveals that your understanding of Yeshua/Salvation is in any way in error, what will you do? Let's humble ourselves together and find out!...

* This originally aired as a video episode on YouTube HERE . This series concludes with a challenge: What will you do with the innumerable Scriptures that reveal Yahweh telling us that His Name is of utmost importance, to Him? We will conclude with the fact that both Ezekiel and Revelation speak of a marked People. This mark? Yahweh's literal Name is upon their foreheads. His Name was, is and forever will be holy. Do you know His Great Name? *** All notes and Scriptures from this series are alwa...

* This originally aired as a video episode on YouTube HERE . In Part 3 we'll begin to read 50+ Bible verses that clearly reveal the importance of Yahweh's specific Name. One of the themes that we'll see is that His Name is "kadosh" (holy). It is distinct, unique and supersedes all other names. This is key for Believers to properly understand if they want to know Him as He is. *** All notes and Scriptures from this series are always available for anyone who wants them: pathtozionpodcast@gmail.com...

* This originally aired as a video episode on YouTube HERE . In this episode we do a brief word study of what it means to "take the name of Yahweh your Elohim in vain." We will also look at names of ancient deities and point out that ALL of them had specific names that have remained until this day. However, Yahweh Most High is simply called "God" by most of His followers. Why is this? Let's find out.
Jan 15, 2023•27 min•Ep. 429
* This originally aired as a video episode on YouTube HERE . The series gets started by examining why many common excuses to avoid using Yahweh's proper name are simply invalid when we seek Scripture. We also list the four primary themes to look for in the upcoming Scripture readings.
Jan 14, 2023•31 min•Ep. 428
* This originally aired as a video episode on YouTube HERE . We begin with reading several pages of Bible references on the theme of "seeing." This short, 2-part series concludes with a practical application for us, and inserts some ideas for our approach to praying for others to receive the gift of something that every man needs: eyes to see.
Dec 17, 2022•29 min•Ep. 427
* This originally aired as a video episode on YouTube HERE . The series gets started by looking into Yeshua's intriguing encounter with the men on the Road To Emmaus. He could have opened their minds to ANYTHING there, so what was it? We will set this beside Adam and Eve's "eyes being opened" in the Garden. Are you ready?
Dec 16, 2022•27 min•Ep. 426
* This originally aired as a video episode on YouTube HERE . Here we ask the question - will we follow the pattern of Josiah? When a revelation of Father's Ways is brought into the light will we, as he, rend our garments and return, in repentance? The issues of this age are little different than the ones that Josiah inherited. May we lay down our idolatry and embrace Father's Instruction.
Dec 09, 2022•21 min•Ep. 425
* This originally aired as a video episode on YouTube HERE . We begin by reading the first account of Josiah hearing the reading of the Torah. What had he inherited? Who was he? What was his response to the hearing of Yahweh's commands? Let's find out!
Dec 08, 2022•33 min•Ep. 424
* This originally aired as a video episode on Youtube HERE . The series concludes by drawing a hard line - will we worship what our fathers did, and carry on their man-made traditions (like Christmas, which is not in the Bible) or will we cling to Yahweh's traditions that are laid out for us in the Scriptures (His Appointed Times)? We conclude with the account of Josiah and what he did when he heard Father's Torah. He is an incredible example for us to follow as we strive to leave behind traditi...

* This originally aired as a video episode on Youtube HERE . In this part we'll set the Bereans in Acts 17 beside the non-believing Pharisees that Yeshua encountered. One made sure that all lined up with the Scriptures, the other held to their man-made traditions that neglected Father's Ways. What does a scriptural testing of Christmas find it to be? Let's find out!
Nov 27, 2022•30 min•Ep. 422
* This originally aired as a video episode on Youtube HERE . The series kicks off looking at two primary types of biblical traditions. What are they and which one does the Christmas holiday fall under? Is there any way to know? Let's find out!

* This originally aired as a video episode on Youtube HERE . In this episode we'll discuss the wonderful experience that is Sukkot (Feast of Tabernacles), based upon 3 main points: Remembrance, The Power of Addition in Yahweh's Ways and Find Your People. This year's Feast was nothing short of incredible, as we gathered to celebrate our Father's Appointed Time! Watch and get a small glimpse into our time spent together this year.

* This originally aired as a video episode on Youtube HERE . The short series concludes rejoicing in the work of the Great High Priest, as we reflect on functions of the original high priest during Yom Kippur, pre-Yeshua. Within Day of Atonement, all who choose to willingly enter in *now* will see the awesome work of Messiah as we lay ourselves low, properly exalting Yahweh as Master of all things.
Oct 07, 2022•20 min•Ep. 418
* This originally aired as a video episode on Youtube HERE . Within the proper understanding of Yom Kippur (Day of Atonement), we find the incredible promises for those who willfully humble themselves. From Genesis to Revelation, Yahweh extends His mercy to those who will lay down their own will, in self denial, in order to embrace His will and ways. We'll use the Bible to explain to us the way we are to live, as we embrace the pattern within Yom Kippur....

* This originally aired as a video episode on Youtube HERE . With the recent passing of a family member that lived with us, I've been doing a lot of introspection and self examination. This message invites you to do likewise. The Scriptures tell us in many instances, in many ways, that our lives are as grass... like a flower. We're here and then we are gone. Is this something that we need to keep at the forefront of our lives? Let's find out....

* This originally aired as a video episode on Youtube HERE . In this episode, we sit outside and discuss a (very brief) proper understanding of Proverbs 22's counsel to "train up a child in the way that he should go." Is biblical training whatever each household defines it to be? Do we see training as an ongoing action that infiltrates every facet of child rearing or is it limited to "spiritual" things, events and experiences? How much effort is necessary and what role do we, as parents, play in...

* This originally aired as a video episode on Youtube HERE . Here we continue the discussion based upon the principle that "Holy, set apart People celebrate and memorialize holy, set apart Festivals." Why did Yeshua basically quote the texts about Yom Teruah when He spoke of His own return? Why did Paul reference the events of Trumpets when he wrote about Yeshua's return? Are these (and so many more) merely coincidence or are Yahweh's Appointed Times (like Yom Teruah/Day of Trumpets) the perpetu...

* This originally aired as a video episode on Youtube HERE . Part 1 explains why this Day means so much to me, as we learn Father's Ancient Way. The beautiful thing about the Feasts (especially Yom Teruah/Trumpets) is that we get to look back in order to properly prepare for what is before us. We begin to answer the question, "how do we who profess to be Believers fulfill the call to be a peculiar/set apart people?" I am fully convinced that it is, in great part, by remembering Yahweh's Appointe...

* This originally aired as a video episode on Youtube HERE . The 4-part series comes to a close as we continue to examine the importance of covenant and obedience in regards to our salvation. Have we inherited a grace doctrine that has missed the command to obey the Son? Let's find out!
Aug 19, 2022•21 min•Ep. 412
* This originally aired as a video episode on Youtube HERE . Here we begin to peer into proper biblical understanding of words like "belief" and "obedience." Even a merely topical examination of several texts reveals a precise connection with what Yeshua (and other biblical authors) spoke, to the Torah and Prophets. Salvation and covenant are inseparable.
Aug 18, 2022•30 min•Ep. 411
* This originally aired as a video episode on Youtube HERE . Here we will begin to contrast biblical uses of "wicked" and "righteous." One camp is lawless and salvation is "far from" them. The other is invited into intimacy with Father and the Son (covenant). Biblical salvation hinges upon a proper understanding of this.
Aug 17, 2022•32 min•Ep. 410
* This originally aired as a video episode on Youtube HERE . The series kicks off by laying a groundwork for what biblical salvation even is. Why has it been extended to us? By using Hebrews and Ezekiel alone we see that biblical salvation is directly related to obedience. Have we inherited a salvation that costs us anything? Let's find out!
Aug 16, 2022•29 min•Ep. 409
* This originally aired as a video episode on Youtube HERE . As I look upon the Body of Messiah, I have great concern over the increasing level of deception and the rise of false prophets. Thankfully, Yeshua foretold that this would come and has already told us what to do. Do you know what that is? Let's find out!
