    IBR Ep 60- When God Calls: Leviticus (Part 1)
    One of the least read yet most misunderstood books of the Bible, Leviticus, is in fact, the heart of the Torah. Leviticus begins with a phrase that sets the theme for the entire book, “And He called”. Vayikra (Leviticus) is, at its core, a beautiful invitation to draw near to HaShem and without a proper understanding of this book, our entire Biblical understanding may indeed be corrupted.

    There are more continuous chapters of Scripture devoted to the building of the Tabernacle than to any other single subject, throughout all of Scripture.

    IBR Ep 52- Bearing God’s Image in Political Upheaval
    In this time of American political upheaval, I have had one major question on my mind: What is the Body of Messiah supposed to be learning from this? How are we, as the Body, supposed to respond to political volatility? Do we segregate ourselves? Do we become mired in the fray? Does the Bible speak to this moment? How do we bear the Father’s image in this time?

    IBR Ep 44- The Gospel Account of John
    Usually when a new believer comes to faith, we point them to the book of John as a starting place. John is full of imagery that makes is easy for us to get our minds around the person and purpose of Yeshua. But John’s Gospel account is not a picture book for children. It is an immensely deep and challenging account. This week we dip our toes into the Gospel account of John.

    IBR Ep 43- The Gospel Account of Luke
    We often think of Luke as the Gentile Gospel author. A physician, and a man of accuracy, we look to Luke’s Gospel account for the most chronological and detailed account of Yeshua’s life and ministry. But is that what Luke’s intention was? This week’s episode may give you some more to think about concerning Luke’s Gospel account.

    IBR Ep 39- The Silent Years: Pharisees
    When we read our Gospel accounts, much ado is made about the Sadducees and Pharisees, as if they are one in the same. As we looked at the Sadducees a couple of weeks ago, we saw that they were a particular group with a particular worldview. Are these Pharisees indeed the same? Is it fair to link these two groups together? Today we dive in to the wonderful world of the Pharisees of the first century.
