As we approach Yom Kippur, we are all doing our most intense introspection. We are also making amends with anyone whom we’ve hurt. Have you been taught that you are to freely forgive? No matter the responsibility of the other party, do you feel as though you are required by God to forgive them even […]
The post IBR Ep 127- “Free Forgiveness” Isn’t Biblical appeared first on Out of Ashes Ministries.
Have you ever struggled with the traditional understandings of forgiveness? Does it seem right that a just God would ask us to forgive others who have spitefully hurt us with no remorse? A misinterpretation of Yeshua’s teachings are the main culprit. If you’ve ever struggled with guilt and shame because you can’t fully forgive, this […]

We are in the most intense season of the year as we prepare ourselves for the Fall Feasts of Rosh Hashana, Yom Kippur, and Sukkot. In this episode, we want to take a short break from life and situate ourselves so that we don’t miss anything that God has for us in this season.

In this week’s teaching; we explore Parasha Korach. This well known portion is the cause for many different interpretations and understandings. However, as with the sin of the spies, what exactly was Korach’s sin? It may not be what we think it is on the surface.

In last week’s episode, we looked at holiness through a Temple-focused, ritualistic lens. In this week’s episode, we want to take a look at the prophets and the lens through which they view holiness.
The post IBR Ep 123- The Moral Ethic of Holiness appeared first on Out of Ashes Ministries.
This week we explore Parashah Emor and bring a counter balance to last week’s parashah discussion on holiness. Is holiness ritual or moral? The answer is…yes! How do think about and navigate holiness, then? This week’s teaching addresses this beautiful balance.
The post Parashah Emor- The Moral Ethic of Holiness appeared first on Out of Ashes Ministries.
Holiness. A word that has bewildered believers for a very long time. We severely lack a deep and thorough understanding of holiness all the while it is the foundation of God’s expectations of us. The Sages of Israel teach that when the Shekinah left the land of Israel just before the Babylonian Exile, it left […]

In Parsha Bo, we see the continuation of HaShem’s using nature to inflict His will on the Egyptian Pharaoh. Have you ever thought critically about how involved HaShem is in nature? Whether back then or today, how do we think about this relationship? In today’s episode we’re going to talk about 6 types of responses, […]

While we all may believe we have a calling of God in the Kingdom, a specific role to fulfill, it can often be hard to internalize and really believe that we do. It can also be very challenging to sift through all of the baggage we carry and get to a place where we can […]

Are you, or have you run into “new to Torah” folks who are incredibly annoying, disrespectful, and arrogant in their new-found knowledge?

Following up on last week’s episode, we are continuing our discussion on priorities in the lives of the Patriarchs. What is it that consistently caused the younger to gain the blessing reserved for the older? What exactly is this blessing and how do we fit into this beautiful, ancient story?
The post IBR Ep 117- Oh, So You Think You’re Saved Just To Go To Heaven? appeared first on Out of Ashes Ministries.

In this week’s episode, we take a look at Yeshua’s declaration that we are the “salt of the earth”. We have many lessons and sermons on this Scripture, but how deeply have we looked into this from a Temple perspective? “Salt of the earth” could mean a very specific thing that we’ve not seen before.

This past weekend, our Jewish brothers and sisters mourned and fasted in memory of the darkest day in Jewish history. How many of us know about it? How many of us care? What is Tisha B’Av and why should we care? All of that and more in this week’s episode.
The post IBR Ep 109- Tisha B’Av…So What? appeared first on Out of Ashes Ministries.
Shalom everyone! In this episode of IBR, we are talking through the beginning of Parasha Pinchas. How is it that Pinchas gets to basically get away with wanton murder?

Isaiah 1 is read every Shabbat before Tisha B’Av. This most intense chapter is filled with challenges not only for Israel, but for anyone who is a child of God.
The post Shabbat Chazon | Tisha B’Av appeared first on Out of Ashes Ministries.
In today’s episode, we begin in last week’s parsha, go back to Genesis, before finally arriving in this week’s parsha, Korach. There is an interesting theme that. flows through the entirety of Scripture…that God focuses His voice on a nation’s leaders.
The post IBR Ep 106- Parsha Korach- Spies, Giants, and an Earthquake appeared first on Out of Ashes Ministries.
Parsha Shelach is packed with events, beginning with the sending of the spies. While there are many questions that surround this event, our topic today is going to focus on one phrase of the ten spies about grasshoppers. We can’t help but compare and contrast ourselves with these spies and how we see ourselves affects […]

Shavuot often doesn’t get it’s fair share of attention. How often do we celebrate it and move on to the next festival? Just because it’s a one day festival doesn’t mean it lacks importance and relevance and isn’t worthy of our complete and total attention and observance. Shavuot’s impacts should also be realized each and […]

Love your enemies. Treat everyone with the same lovingkindness God has shown you. Both Scriptural commandments and very good advice, but how many find these harder to actually live out in your everyday life? In this episode, we talk about a new way to expand our understandings of these foundational, Godly qualities.

This week, we share a throw-back teaching on Parashat Emor from 2018. We often, much like the traditions we come from, focus on only a few “pet” Scriptures. These tend to be things about dietary laws, calendar, and the Name. In this teaching, we invite you to look past those Scriptures that are familiar and […]
The post IBR Ep 101- Parashat Emor- More Than Just Holidays appeared first on Out of Ashes Ministries.
In Parashat Kedoshim (Lev. 19), we are commanded to be holy as HaShem is holy. There are many ways to understand holiness and today we will explore an important aspect of holiness, how it is to be understood, and how we can live it out in our world.

Let’s face it, by the end of the Feast of Unleavened Bread, most of us are ready to be done and can’t wait to sink our teeth into a big, doughy pizza. But did you know that there has been a long standing tradition among some religious Jews to hold a seder at the end […]

Parsha Sh’mini is a beautiful picture of the ultimate purpose of Scripture and the heart of God. In our everyday lives, we are on the constant cycle, some may say hamster wheel, of work days and weekends. We deal with the stresses of life all while longing for the rest of the weekend. In parsha […]
The post IBR Ep 96- Parashat Sh’mni appeared first on Out of Ashes Ministries.
For so many Christians, we are obsessed with God’s call. This desire, while admirable, is often misplaced. Oddly, we spend our entire lives seeking God’s call, while never reading the book of Scripture titled, “He called”. In this week’s parsha, Vayikra, we are challenged by the first two words…”He called”.
The post IBR Ep 95- Parashat Vayikra- The Call appeared first on Out of Ashes Ministries.
Moses gathered the people to explain the commandments and instructions for the Tabernacle. After Moses finishes his explanation, the people leave. The first of these commandments is Shabbat.

One of the most vital things missing in our world today is hope. We are surrounded by chaos, confusion, and anxiety about how things are and what may lie ahead. Yet, we are children of the King of hope. It’s just who God is. Today, we are going to discuss God’s personality trait of hopefulness. […]

We know the Scripture, “for God is love”. Love is indeed the foundation of God’s relationship with humanity and the very reason Yeshua gave His life.

Today, we continue our teaching on having a Godly personality. This week we begin to look at God’s personality traits with likely the most important and foundational trait, holiness.
The post Having God’s Personality (Part 2): Holiness appeared first on Out of Ashes Ministries.
We have often been taught about living holy lives, having Godly character, and exhibiting a life that looks like Yeshua. One word we don’t use very often in this conversation is “Personality”. Do we think of God having a personality? We are to have His personality, but what does that look like?

At his last meal, Yeshua gave matzah and wine to his disciples, telling them to eat his body and drink his blood. How are we to understand this cryptic and mysterious request?

Parsha Mishpatim begins by speaking about Hebrew slaves (Ebed Ivrit). How are we to understand this concept? Is what’s being explained in the Torah similar to the atrocity of slavery that was experienced in American history? Does the Bible teach slavery? Does God endorse slavery? Today, we are going to tackle the issue and shed […]
