PATH TO ZION PODCAST

Path To Zion explores the rediscovery of the Ancient Way that has been abandoned, forgotten or simply missed (in Its fullness) by mainstream Christianity. The host, Joel Spencer, speaks from a ”Hezekiah call” to declare to the Christianity of this age that there has been a Way already carved out, ready to be walked along by any who will follow the Firstborn Of Many Brethren, Yeshua Messiah (Jesus). (* The podcast is now also recorded in video format on Youtube @ Path To Zion Podcast.)

What It Means To ”Keep” the Torah: Was ”Keeping a Command” a Result of Sin? (Part 5/Conclusion)

* This originally aired as a video episode on YouTube HERE . Did Yahweh enstate His commands because man was somehow being punished for their rebellion? Scripturally, was it a burden that no man can ever "keep?" We will end by reading a dozen Scriptures to sum up what it properly means to treasure, guard and forever preserve Yahweh's wonderful Torah. Do you know this? Let's find out!

What It Means To ”Keep” the Torah: A Deeper Dive Into Some Hebrew Words (Part 4)

* This originally aired as a video episode on YouTube HERE . In Part 4 of 5, we'll continue to discuss the complexities of "shamar" (keep) and move into "yaw-nakh" (place in rest), that appears in Genesis chapter 2. I will do my best to use the events surrounding the Garden of Eden account to reveal a deep truth about what happens when mankind does not "shamar/keep" what he is supposed to. This just may be something that you have not heard before. Let's find out!...

What It Means To ”Keep” the Torah: Some Things We Say in Ignorance (Part 3)

* This originally aired as a video episode on YouTube HERE . We must be willing to admit that we have not inherited a belief system that has taught us that Yahweh's Torah is good and perfect. In fact, we have been taught that Father gave man a Law that he could not keep. In this episode, we will tackle this, and many other, things that we say in ignorance, in regards to properly guarding and preserving (shamar) Father's Torah.

What It Means To ”Keep” the Torah: Jesus, Did Away With the Torah, Right? (Part 2)

* This originally aired as a video episode on YouTube HERE . Do we ever see a biblical record of Yeshua (Jesus) promoting His own "new" way to live that was separate from His Father's Ways? Were His words ever different than His Father's? Does the Jesus that most of us have inherited fit the Scriptural requirements of the Torah and the Prophets? Let's find out!

What It Means To ”Keep” the Torah: Those Who Keep Are Kept (Part 1)

* This originally aired as a video episode on YouTube HERE . In the first part of this latest series, we lay a foundation of what it means, biblically, to "keep" Yahweh's commands. Specifically, we will use Scripture to show us this biblical pattern: Those who keep (Hebrew: "shamar") Yahweh's commands are then "kept" by His hand of provision, safety and guarding. Time and time again, we clearly see history reveal the wonderful pattern of our covenantal Elohim! Are you ready to get started?...

Wait For the Redeemer

* This originally aired as a video episode on YouTube HERE . Sometimes life hands us situations that are just downright awful and impossible to understand, in the moment. So what do we do? In this spontaneous episode (in our pasture), we'll answer that question.

The Role of the Watchman

* This originally aired as a video episode on YouTube HERE . You likely know one. You may even be one. The role of a watchman can be quite challenging. Watchmen are often hard to understand. Many times they're quite abrasive and too serious, for most people. Also, they can be out of line and just downright rude. But what if the Body is hurting because this function is predominately mishandled and pushed out? I believe that it is. And, I would submit that we work to change that. What do you think...

Are We Above Being Deceived?

* This originally aired as a video episode on YouTube HERE . What is "too much," not worth discussing or merely a "distraction," is often up to one's personal discretion. We all have different boundaries and comfort levels. However, the Bible repeats time and time again endless warnings against being deceived, especially in the last days. In an age where knowledge is increasing, we must humbly remember that the even the elect can be let astray, in an age that I believe is now here. So what does ...

Humility and Reverence: How We Respond to Challenges & Questioning

* This originally aired as a video episode on YouTube HERE . * Recorded July 24, 2023 How do you handle yourself when someone disagrees with your beliefs? Do you even know or do you avoid such confrontations? How we handle ourselves when questions come is quite important for those who desire to look like Messiah. In this episode we'll examine a proper understanding of 1 Peter 3:13-17 and find how we can walk in humility and reverence before all men....

Revealing Ourselves Reveals Messiah

* This originally aired as a video episode on YouTube HERE . Using the account of Yeshua (Jesus) with the Samaritan woman at the well, we see a pattern emerge. This episode will examine this event, found in John chapter 4, to establish how we, today, can be found seeing Messiah for Who He is, as we willingly choose to reveal who we are. Have you met Messiah in such a way? Let's find out!

Part 3 - HOW TO BECOME A MAN OF FAITH: The Account of Abraham Offering Isaac

* This originally aired as a video episode on YouTube HERE . The series concludes as we make sure that we understand Abraham's great faith looked like something. While we've been told that one must choose - faith *or* works, men of faith like Abraham, show us that one must possess *both*. Knowing Yahweh's character allows us to walk in the fullness - faith *and* action! Are you a man of faith? Let's find out!

Part 2 - HOW TO BECOME A MAN OF FAITH: The Account of Abraham Offering Isaac

* This originally aired as a video episode on YouTube HERE . In Part 2, we move into the meat of the series. Did Abraham simply walk in a "blind faith" that enabled him to simply do what Yahweh said, or was it something much more? I believe that within Abraham's great faith, we find a principle that could change our lives, in accordance to how *we* become a people of faith. Do you want to know what this key to unlocking great faith is? Let's find out!...

Part 1 - HOW TO BECOME A MAN OF FAITH: The Account of Abraham Offering Isaac

* This originally aired as a video episode on YouTube HERE . The latest series opens up by challenging us to sit down and meditate towards the event that is found in Genesis chapter 22. We will lay a groundwork that establishes some of the layers within Abraham's willingness to put his faith into immediate action, despite the difficulty of what he was asked to do.

Part 2 - Do Men Still Need to Call Upon the Name of ”the LORD”?

* This originally aired as a video episode on YouTube HERE . The series concludes with some speculations as to why the need to "call upon the name of Yahweh" arose, in Genesis chapter 4. We'll use the Scriptures to properly define the assigning and importance of a name. Then, we'll conclude with a challenge to declare Yahweh's holy, specific name, in a generation that has seemingly forgotten It's importance.

Part 1 - Do Men Still Need to Call Upon the Name of ”the LORD”?

* This originally aired as a video episode on YouTube HERE . Using Genesis chapter 4 as a launching pad, we'll pose the title's question. In ancient, biblical times, names had great meaning and purpose. This is simply not the case today as generic terms such as "God" suffice. Scripturally, calling upon the specific Name of "Yahweh" held great esteem, honor and holiness. But what about us today? Does this matter anymore, thousands of years removed? Let's find out!...

A Change of Perspective

* This originally aired as a video episode on YouTube HERE . How different do you see Yeshua (Jesus) now compared to when you first believed? How about the Bible? How has your understanding of the Gospel and "the Church" changed over the last ten or twenty years? For those who are becoming holy as Yahweh is holy, changes in perspective are an absolute must. Those who are locked down, unmovable in beliefs, doctrines and understanding will fail to see the immensity of all that we are to pursue, in...

Breaking The Cycle

* This originally aired as a video episode on YouTube HERE . This episode presents the consideration to assess our personal cycles of belief. Do you regularly examine your beliefs and doctrines? If you do, what do you do with what is revealed as error? Do you ever find error? I want to continue to call out to whoever has ears to hear - to call us all into the freedom to be wrong and welcome change. Let us break the cycle!

Filled To Full

* This originally aired as a video episode on YouTube HERE . In this episode we'll briefly examine how important it is for us to understand that we are called to "fill to full" the Torah, as Yeshua did (using Romans 13:8). When we love as Messiah loved, via a life of self-denial and suffering, we too will be found rendering Torah full and complete. This is, of course, a major shift into looking at what we "do" now, in Messiah. Do we literally walk as Messiah walked and learn obedience or do we s...

Part 2 - PASSOVER: A Holy & Peculiar People, Marked in Order to Serve Yahweh

* This originally aired as a video episode on YouTube HERE . In this series conclusion, we answer the question, "*why* did Yahweh demand Pharaoh let His People Go?" The answer helps us properly understand the imagery of what has taken place in Yeshua, our Passover Lamb. We will read 15+ verses as we discuss the proper understanding that Passover gave us, so many years ago. Do you know it? Let's find out!

Apr 13, 202324 minEp. 448

Part 1 - PASSOVER: A Holy & Peculiar People, Marked in Order to Serve Yahweh

* This originally aired as a video episode on YouTube HERE . Part 1 entails a brief groundwork of how a People were, and now are, set apart and holy. One major sign of a marked People was Sabbath and Yahweh's Feasts, like Passover/Unleavened Bread. Has this changed in the New Covenant? The Apostle Paul told the Colossian Assembly that these *are* now a foreshadowing of *what is yet to come*. Should Father's Appointed Times, like Passover, still be a sign, a marker, for Yahweh's People today? Let...

Passover or Easter?

* This originally aired as a video episode on YouTube HERE . In this episode, I'm hoping to incite people to ask some questions in regards to what we do and why. With only the Bible as our source, how do we determine who we are and what we are to do today, as followers of Messiah? Let's find out!

Apr 01, 202332 minEp. 446

Where There is No Divine Vision

* This originally aired as a video episode on YouTube HERE . We've all heard it - "where there is no vision, the people perish." But after only a few minutes of topical examination, will we find that it means what we have always used it to say? Perhaps it means something quite different than what we have been told. If so, would you want to find out? Let's dive in and see what we find! A study on Proverbs 29:18.

Part 3 - Yahweh’s Family: Who’s In?

* This originally aired as a video episode on YouTube HERE . The series concludes examining many texts that show us the biblical pattern that this series has established. Yahweh's People are a People that live within the safety and confines of His commandments, via covenant. We see this all the way into the conclusion of the Book, in Revelation, where the Beast confronts "brothers and sisters" who keep the commandments of Yahweh and hold to the testimony that declares Yahweh is Salvation (Yeshua...

Part 2 - Yahweh’s Family: Who’s In?

* This originally aired as a video episode on YouTube HERE . In this episode we'll start to dive into the principal found within Proverbs chapter 7. We see the father tell his son to call Wisdom his "sister" and Understanding a "kinsman." Then, a "foreign" adulterous woman, that is not "of the family," is inserted into the text. Why? What is the biblical significance of the words specifically recorded here, in light of Yahweh's covenantal Family? Let's find out!...

Part 1 - Yahweh’s Family: Who’s In?

* This originally aired as a video episode on YouTube HERE . To get things started, we'll make the biblical case for rightly exposing those who do not follow the Gospel and the Messiah that was preached from the beginning. Is it ever right to differentiate between who is in and who is not in the Body of Messiah? Let's find out!

Mar 10, 202325 minEp. 442

A Call for Discernment

* This originally aired as a video episode on YouTube HERE . This episode is an off the cuff call to be a people of discernment. Darkness is masquerading as light in unprecedented ways, in this hour. What is our plan to avoid being led astray in our lifetime? Let's find out!

Part 3 - Biblical Revival: What Is It?

* This originally aired as a video episode on YouTube HERE . The series concludes as we continue to examine the many biblical texts that speak of "reviving" and "being caused to live." The theme is clear, biblical revival is a "returning." It was. it is and it will always be so. We end with the Romans 15 "one man" reference. "He" is found returning to Father's covenantal Ways. This unified "one man" is looking back to the Scriptures to find hope and is ultimately found glorifying the Elohim of a...

Part 2 - Biblical Revival: What Is It?

* This originally aired as a video episode on YouTube HERE . In this episode we'll begin to look at some verses that are misquoted in order to validate revival. Yet, when read in proper context, we'll see that they do not mean what they're used to represent and define. Also, we reveal a clear biblical pattern of what a revival/returning must consist of as we examine the Hebrew words "shuv" and "haya" (primarily in Psalms, Daniel, Isaiah and Ezekiel) . We must look to the Word to allow It to defi...

Part 1 - Biblical Revival: What Is It?

* This originally aired as a video episode on YouTube HERE . In this episode we begin to go through several Scriptures where we see what I will propose is a very clear pattern, in regards to what we have dubbed "revival." We should not be as interested in looking to "past moves of God" to define these things but rather what does the Word tell us? This approach will keep us guarded against deception in these last days. What is "revival" and does the Bible even really speak of it as we do? Let's f...
