  • Finally a Teacher that puts things together by using scripture to define scripture

    Rabbi Berkson passionately teaches the scriptures and knows the front of the book from the back. This helps sort out things that make you say “what?!?!” when reading the New Testament by explaining where it came out of the Old Testament. You might not like what he says but you know he’s spent hours verifying it before speaking.

  • Puzzled

    I don’t know how someone who teaches the Torah and old covenant which is ProJewish or Hebrew is anti Semitic. That’s usually applies to Westerners or places where Charismatic Christians, who mostly have Greek interpretation of scripture,rather than Hebraic interpretation & understanding.

    I certainly know YHWH is a controversial name by itself, He was also wherever He went and didn’t have to speak. This explains why some people feel the need or temptation to attack the character of a teacher of ... more

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Episode 1205: In The Zone | July 2026 | Part 1
Q: How should you handle requests for prayers from people who may not share the same God?
Politely decline to be prayed over if uncomfortable, and if in a group, allow others to pray quietly or join in if desired, avoiding making a scene or pressuring others to share the same beliefs.
Episode 1205: In The Zone | July 2026 | Part 1
Q: If someone is not in the walk, what is a good starting video to introduce them to the teachings?
Provide a starting point by directing them to CC 101 (Covenant Community 101) to illustrate the journey, but acknowledge there is no magic teaching; curiosity alone doesn't mean commitment, so send them to a relevant teaching only if it addresses their question.
Episode 1198: In The Zone | June 2026 | Part 2
Q: How do we know if discernment is truly from above or just from past experiences?
Discernment from above tends to present an objective, novel perspective that you wouldn't have arrived at through past experiences alone; if past experiences bias your view, ask clarifying questions and evaluate whether the insight would apply regardless of prior patterns.
Episode 1190: Afterburn | From Slavery to Freedom (Freeing Your Mind) | Part 9
Q: How do you handle situations where what you're aiming for isn't immediately achievable due to circumstances around you?
You reframe the goal, look for practical steps you can take, and adjust your plan while keeping the long-term outcome in sight. It's about leverage, structure, and creating time or opportunities to move forward, even if progress is incremental.
Episode 1188: In The Zone | May 2026 | Part 2
Q: From Gerald Monroe: Is there biblical instruction to count the Omer or count the days and weeks, and where did the phrase originate?
The counting is tied to the period between the wave sheaf and Shavuot, connected to Hebrew language and traditions; the wording and term Omer arose over time as the counting became customary.
