After I was engaged in a brief dialogue in regards to how dangerous it is to disregard pastoral counsel, I felt compelled to discuss this topic on the program. We must present a full view and honest approach to the complexities of men giving spiritual direction and instruction to other men - flawed as we all are.
This episode shares a few brief thoughts that are bouncing around my head as we're in between video series. I briefly share what (presumably) will be the next topical series, out of 1 Kings.

In this episode we dive into the proposal that we see the insertion of seeds of anxiety and control sown in the Garden of Eden. Dissatisfaction with who Yahweh has made us to be and forgetting that *He* is our Provider and Source leaves us anxious and always looking for satisfaction, within ourselves. Yeshua however, showed us how to perfectly walk entrusted to the Father. Are you satisfied with your present reality?

In this part of the short series we begin to talk about one of the Greek words used in the New Testament for "time" - "kairos." It speaks of "an opportune time for action" and, if rightly lived out like Yeshua Messiah, positions us to harness every opportunity that is right before us.

The series wraps up with our connection of the Old Testament understanding of altars to Yeshua becoming the ultimate memorial and landmark for our lives today. Yeshua Messiah (our Salvation) was meant to become the door and gate for us to look TO and THROUGH in order to forever memorialize the awesome works of Yahweh on our behalf.

In this installment we look into the first biblically-recorded altar specifications, found in Exodus chapter 20. We also will begin to drive home the essential point that an altar to Yahweh is a RESPONSE to something He has already accomplished and/or promised, not a plea for His attention.

The new series examines the proper biblical understanding of an altar. When did they first show up and why were they established? Part 1 begins to explain the origins of altars in the Bible and why they should matter to us.
In this episode, we primarily discuss how all of us are prone to skirt the edge of obedience and push the boundary as much as is allowed. And what about when we cross it? What is the rebellious heart of man and how do we know that we, in fact, love Messiah, evidenced by keeping His commands?
