Show #532 - Are We On the Wrong Calendar?
Description
In this episode, we look at common objection to the rabbinical calendar. Many within the Hebrew Roots movement believe we should be keeping various calendars but is this true? To understand this argument we first attempt to define what Hebrew Roots and Messianic Judaism is and look and the differences between them. Then we look at the problems and strengths of the traditional calendar.

Show #531 - Salvation by Faith Alone
Description
In this episode, we look at the celebration of Halloween and ask if Christians should be involved in celebrating this holiday, or if the modern Church’s replacement with things like “Trunk or Tread” are ok from a biblical perspective. Then we turn to the doctrine of salvation by faith alone. Has the Church missed something here? What do we do with Yeshua’s response to the rich young ruler? Does James advocate for salvation my works? All of these points are looked at and discussed.

Show #530 – The Term “Pronomian”
Show #530 - The Term "Pronomian"
Description
In this episode, we look at an article by R.M. Bailey that contends the term “pronomian” is taking on a new shape and that we should use it as a hermeneutical term instead of a label. We survey the article and give some opinions and history as to how this term has been used in the past five years. Finally, a look at the teachers who have used this term and how we are more united than ever before, not because of a label or a theological perspective, but because of our love for our King Yeshua.

Show #529 - FESTIVALS
Description
In this episode, we start by looking at the five major festivals in the Bible and discuss what each one of them mean, what their significance is, and how they point directly to our personal story of salvation, as well as, Israel’s story of redemption. These festivals point to what has happened for believers in Yeshua as well as future events that are yet to happen. Then we move to the arguments made by the mainstream Christian Church on why we no longer have to keep these feasts, and ask if these arguments are biblical or not.
