Episode Notes In the first-century, Jesus rebuked the Pharisees who tied heavy burdens and extra man-made traditions to the law of God - robbing people of the simplicity of God's truth. Today, the same flavor of deception is rampant. Man-made burdens about the Holy Spirit is quenching the Spirit in many people. But this Shavuot, will we begin placing an end to it?
Episode Notes Even as believers, we can find ourselves in a prison. Has God abandoned us? How could He allow this to happen to us? And what are we to do when we face trial? Paul & Silas found themselves in a prison, but would soon realize that all is not as it seems - that even their seemingly meaningless trial had incredible purpose in God's Kingdom: To save a suicidal guard and bring glory to God's faithfulness. But they needed to understand God's heart in the midst of their trial in order...

Episode Notes What is the Year of Jubilee, and how does it point towards Yeshua and God's end-times restoration plan? The Year of Jubilee is a mysterious biblical season about restoring lands and setting captives free, but found even greater meaning in Yeshua's ministry. God used it as a prophetic messenger of His plan to take back the land of the ancient Garden and our inheritance as image-bearers of the King, but none of this would be possible without the Feast of Shavuot. Join PD with the Alm...
Episode Notes Christians everywhere are returning to the Biblical Festivals, but why? Aren't those 'Jewish'? Hasn't Christ "paid the price"? Isn't that "old covenant"?

Here are 5 biblical reasons all Christians should consider returning!

Episode Notes A movement that has desired to walk more like their Messiah is developing a subset within that is growing a larger and larger contempt for the moves of Holy Spirit - His gifts exercised in the lives of believers. Whether you understand it or not, the reality is that God is not only pouring out a revelation of truth and return to holiness upon His people, but His Spirit. And with that, we need to get rid of our denominational baggage we're still carrying to this day that has in the ...
Episode Notes Hitting a brick wall trying to witness to someone? Listen to this. Jesus' parallel of fishermen teaches us an important lesson in our role as becoming "fishers of men." A good fisherman understands fishing is about a struggle, and if the fish gives up on this struggle, it is reeled in. In this same way, we are to approach reaching people. Join me in this teaching LIVE as we talk more about reaching even the hardest of hearts with the gospel!
Time. It's something we all have, but never seem to have enough of. We're always running out and running short on it. Time is precious, because how we spend our time, our minutes and days, is how we spend our lives. Many of us might struggle to pray or to find the right words to say. But sometimes it's ok to just be still in God's presence, to give Him your time without distraction or words spoken. Will you give God an offering of time today?
Episode Notes If God exists, then where is He? If He is real, why can't I see Him? This is an age-old question many have asked and pondered for thousands of years. Scientists recently made an INCREDIBLE discovery that sheds new light on this question of God's existence and role in our lives. You'll be surprised at just how connected everything is! Is this just an accident, or does it reveal an Intelligent Design?
Episode Notes The world is always up to something: chaos, rumors of wars, pandemics- and the media and social networks are constantly feeding into the fear. As believers living in these times, we might find ourselves searching the Scripture to see if we are the final generation who will see the rise of the Anti-Christ and Mark of the Beast. However, some believers have become so enamored with trying to uncover these mysteries that they have lost sight of the more important mission and commission...
Romans 5:20 has often been used as a proof text to prove that the Law of God should not be kept by Christians, because after all, doesn't it say that the "Law increases our sin"? But is this what this passage is really saying? Join PD as he delves into the full context of the powerful message Paul was actually conveying in Romans 5.

Episode Notes Shortly after God brought Israel out of slavery in Egypt with miracles and power, the Israelites find themselves in a wilderness without food or water. While it certainly was nice to be out of slavery, the road to the Promised Land wasn't as sparkly as many of the Israelites had envisioned. Instead of having faith that the God who had JUST saved them would also provide for their basic needs, they began to complain to Moses, with some even desiring to return to the melons and fish t...
Egypts first plague was the turning of water into blood. A warning of the final Plague of Passover to come: the Death of the Firstborn. Yeshua’s first miracle was the turning of water into wine (blood). A beckoning to His future crucifixion on the Passover. But while Pharaoh's firstborn would die in vain. God’s firstborn would die for the sins of Israel who had His blood on their doorposts. And with this all: Yeshua has the face of both Mercy and Judgment. Mercy to those with His redemptive bloo...
Episode Notes Most of us are so familiar with Yeshua's Miracle of turning the water into wine, that we likely have it memorized. For most of us, it's been boiled down to the children's Bible version: Jesus turned the water into wine - the End! But is this really it? The fact that THIS was Yeshua's first miracle is no coincidence. Is there perhaps more to this story than we originally thought? Join Christina as she explores the powerful prophetic call hidden in this first miracle and what God des...
Episode Notes Galatians 4 is by far one of the most frequent proof-texts used to "prove" that Paul abolished the Law of God. After all, in his example of Hagar and Sarah, it seems quite clear that Paul is saying that any attempts by Christians to follow God's Law makes them "children of the slave woman", right? This is what has been taught by many in Christianity for hundreds of years, but does the context support this claim? Join us we jump into these highly-debated verses and discuss what Paul...
Episode Notes A revival is starting. Believers all over the world are getting on fire to walk like Yeshua walked in Spirit and in Truth, keeping the Law of God and operating in the Holy Spirit in power and in love. This revival began in the Book of Acts and whole towns and cities were won to the message of Yeshua because of it. Man-made traditions and false doctrines have threatened to silence this message of hope through the ages, but God is raising up a new generation who will not be silenced ...
Episode Notes We can win every theological debate and seem religious, but can we win souls? When we first became believers, most of us were excited to spend time with God and tell everyone we knew about the new life we now have in Jesus. Our chains are gone, we've been set free! Yet as the years have gone by, many of us have become more enamored with knowing "about" God without also continuing to get to KNOW God. While we are to "study ourselves approved" (2 Tim 2:15 ), some of us have exchanged...
Episode Notes The Gift of Tongues is one of the most controversial Gifts of the Spirit in modern-day Christianity. Why is this? Didn't the Apostle Paul write that the believers in the Early Church operated in the Spiritual Gifts, including the Gift of Tongues? Respected Pastor, Theologian, and Apologist Paul Washer's answer for this is simple: The gift of tongues that the early believers used in the 1st Century Church no longer exists or is in use today. But is this the case? What SHOULD the Gif...

Episode Notes When Jesus is accused of casting out demons by the "Prince of Demons" (Matt 12), he asks the Pharisees a peculiar question: "Then by who do your sons cast them out?" And much later, we read about the sons of the high priest casting out demons - in the name of Yeshua of all names! But for them, using His name was like a secret word that they thought would give them authority. Instead, the demons overpowered them, leaving them running and naked. True biblical authority is not about b...
It's easy to feel betrayed, alone and rejected, like you can't trust anyone. And it's easy to interpret how people have treated you as the gauge of your true value. You've failed God before too, right? So maybe you're just not cut out to be a believer, to be free from your dependencies and sins. They're not that bad anyway, right? Jesus taught one of the greatest commandments is to love your neighbor as yourself. But what if you don't have any love for yourself? Today, we will discuss the enemy'...
Episode Notes In the New Testament, we read numerous accounts of Jesus and the disciples casting out demons. They seemed to be everywhere! Why don't we see this same amount of demonic activity being cast out today? Is it because there aren't as many demons as back then, or is there another reason?

Episode Notes Fortune-telling spirits appear friendly & ready to give advice and truth. But there's a secret about these spirits that most fortune-tellers aren't even aware of. Are they to be trusted, and if not - why not?
Episode Notes What did Paul mean when he said that he is not "under the law, but under grace"? Many have understood it to mean that we no longer need to obey the commands given in the Torah. But is this what Paul is really saying? Paul speaks of reaching those who are "under the Law" and those who are "outside the Law" as two separate and different groups. Who are these groups of people, what it does it mean for believers in Yeshua, and how do we reach them?
It's the year 2022, and an increasing group of Christians are returning to keeping the Sabbath. And this sparks an important question: Is this 4th commandment still relevant for modern Christians? Isn't the Sabbath Jewish? Didn't Jesus break it Himself? Didn't God change the Sabbath to Sunday? Isn't Jesus our every-day Sabbath rest now? It all can just sound like a big burden. But is it? And does the Bible provide an answer to these questions in the mind of most Christians? Join PD live with Dav...
Episode Notes Many Christians believe Acts 15 teaches that we only need to be concerned with keeping 4 of God's instructions that have now replaced the 10 commandments. But is this true? Or is there more to the Jerusalem Council than what is taught in mainstream Christianity?
