I encourage you, both the Aarons, to take your time with these interviews. They are so meaningful and we as believers need to be fed. Papa Don’s ability to quote scripture is inspiring. And the prayers. This is so great.

[sonjasisco]

This was deep. I had to stop & come back to it when I could really concentrate. Thank you for all the great questions & stories. We have a scripture memory class every Sunday & my brother & I do them together. I want to do even more. If the verse is short, I learn it in Hebrew!

[LindaLeighSulser]

Wow! What an incredible podcast offering so much wisdom and giving us the opportunity for deep introspection to God’s will in our lives with His perspective. I loved it and will need to rewatch to glean even more nuggets from Papa Don. My Daddy’s 96 and I wonder if he knows him. He served with YWAM for many years. And when I was a kid, our church had a coffee house introducing Christian music to our community. I remember learning and playing/singing “They will know we are Christians by our love” on my guitar at age 14. My parents started a home group at that time called Koinonia. Amazing memories from all I heard here. Thanks Joshua and Aaron for putting this out for us. We need to hear it!! See you at GTN in 3 weeks!!

My husband and I are so excited to attend this gathering! Bringing our shofar, but my harp won’t fit n the suitcase! I could be described as a 71 year old One for Israel “groupy.”

Dear Brothers thank you for your ministry.Guest made quick mention of praying the Psalms, more please

[lucyrouleau]

Amen yes thank you I am so blessed to be listening to this pod cast I love my Jewish brothers

[sonamchristopher]

Papa Don did you mail those notes? I’m fervently praying for someone to turn to God

I look to Psalms 90 as a hidden message. If Yehua was crucified in 28 AD and you add 2000 year =2028. If they last for 80 years from 1948=2028. The only Passover I could find where Yeshua was crucified on the true Passover was Thursday 28 AD. That would put Yeshua in the grave for an actual 3 days and nights. Any Week of unleavened bread would have 2 shabbat in it. The 7th day rest and the high shabbat. My thoughts. Like old Job said: Why, seeing times are not hidden from the Almighty, do they that know Him not see His day? Job 24:1
