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.)

In this part we look into what unfolded with Abram and Lot when they could not dwell together, as strife came. I present that I feel we've been guilty of being "individual living stones" (separation/isolation) or "piles of living stones" (divisions) instead of dwelling together in unity, fitly framed into a dwelling for Yahweh.
So what do we do then? Let's find out.

After establishing our proper understanding of what we do as "living stones," we move into Yeshua's words as His earthly life was nearing its end. He asked Father to make us "one as He and Father are one." Then we move into Psalm 133 which tells us that unity of the Brethren is "good, agreeable and beautiful." Are we in the Church experiencing this today as We should be?

Part 1 starts with establishing a biblical understanding of "one." We'll examine the proper understanding of "living stones" that Peter mentions in 1 Peter chapter 2. What does it mean to be "built together into a spiritual house"? Let's get started!

The series comes to a conclusion as we see Leviticus 19 tell us to be holy as Yahweh is holy. How do we do this? We stop following the ways of the nations (worldly traditions) and embark into keeping His Feasts (His set apart/holy Days).
Christmas holiday traditions have been a successful imposter of Father's ways. After all that we have discussed in this series, which will you choose?

When Christian leaders are willing to admit that when you remove the endless pagan origins of Christianity's festivals/holidays, you have little left to celebrate, they are right. So what then? Do we just join the ways of the nations?
No! The series moves into examining the Feasts of the LORD that appear in Leviticus 23 and then we move into the proper understanding of holy and profane and what Yahweh says when His People turn away from His Appointed Times, using Ezekiel chapter 20.

In this part we jump into the principles found within biblical texts such as Jeremiah chapter 10 and Deuteronomy 18. God's set apart People are instructed to abandon the ways of the nations. This clearly includes the avoidance of adopting their idolatry-laced traditions. Although many people say that we can simply "redeem pagan holidays for God", do we *ever* see that in the Scriptures? Let's find out.

Part 3 continues with presenting a bit more of American Christmas history. We'll look into how culture shaped Christianity's embracing of the holiday that was originally considered idolatrous by 1600's-era American Believers. What changed? Let's find out.

In this episode I read a short, fictional story that I wrote that explains Father's heart as His children have traded in His appointed Times for their own traditions. Also, we begin to examine some historical facts of the true origins of Christmas, for those who do not know.

This 6-part series begins with laying a groundwork of asking a series of questions, such as can we pick and choose what is pleasing to the LORD? Do we have the right to brand something good and godly, even if the origins never were? Is it acceptable in God's sight for the Church to exchange His Feasts and ordained celebrations in order to celebrate our own traditions?
Let's leave our prejudices and preferences at the door and find out!

The short series concludes as we continue to peer into Proverbs' Lady Wisdom. We drive home the point that Wisdom preexisted all of Creation and thereby knows Father's perfect order and plan. This is fascinating as we realize "She" is offering us the counsel of Yahweh still today!
