Rebuild by The Barking Fox
Our Creator is willing to rebuild us from the inside out. That's what it means to "be transformed by the renewal of your mind, that by testing you may discern what is the will of God, what is good and acceptable and perfect." (Romans 12:2) This is a New Covenant process: God pouring out His Spirit on His people to give them new hearts capable of obeying His instructions, commandments, and laws. This podcast explores that process through short devotional meditations inspired by the weekly Torah portions, with connections drawn from the whole Bible.

What does it mean to be childlike? Messiah Yeshua said we should become like children if we are to enter the Kingdom of Heaven. How do we do that?

Yeshua said the confession of our faith in him as Messiah was more powerful than the gates of hell. What exactly are the gates of hell? And how is trust in Israel's Messiah more powerful than that?

We learn more than we may realize from stories. There are life lessons and commentary on the human condition that are better conveyed through stories than any other form. Maybe that's why the Bible is filled with stories.

How often do our expectations cause us to miss what God is doing? That could have dire consequences, as the people living in the days of Noah found out.
