Show Notes: In this episode, Dr. Robyn Kassas and Dr. Nathan Kassas continue their mountain and valley series with Moses. They explain why the first tablets were broken and how the law could not sustain without the Spirit. They describe the mountain as concentrated encounter and the valley as integrated embodiment, adding that elevation increases responsibility rather than making anyone superior....

Show Notes: In this episode, Dr. Robyn Kassas and Dr. Nathan Kassas ease back in after their annual Season Casting conference, recalling the weekend's prophetic presentations and the word for the year of Zion. They then open a new teaching on the difference between the mountain and the valley. The mountain gives perspective, while the valley shows where you are and lets God regulate what was revea...

Show Notes: In this episode, Dr. Robyn Kassas and Dr. Nathan Kassas continue through the Valley Gate while announcing that Season Casting begins that night at Times of Refreshing Christian Center in Manhattan. They contrast the Tower of Babel, where man ascends to make a name, with Jesus, who descends and is given the name above all names. They explain that independence can look successful and eve...

Show Notes: In this episode, Dr. Robyn Kassas and Dr. Nathan Kassas continue their Valley Gate teaching, revisiting the "Jesus died spiritually" doctrine and showing that Jesus never manufactured His own ascent but waited for the Father to raise Him. They trace the downward path in Philippians 2 and say the valley reveals whether we can live from our identity when our environment stops affirming i...

Show Notes: In this episode, Dr. Robyn Kassas and Dr. Nathan Kassas continue through the Valley Gate, looking at the physiology of the valley and how Jesus experienced it in Gethsemane. They describe the body's fight-or-flight response and say these signals are symptoms to process in God's presence, not proof of a threat. They explain that Jesus asked why in the right way and stayed connected to t...

Show Notes: In this episode, Dr. Robyn Kassas and Dr. Nathan Kassas continue through the Valley Gate, explaining how pressure exposes the automatic brain and reveals what we have truly been feeding on. They ask whether God can trust us with His silence, using marriage as an example of silent intimacy. They point out that Jesus received only three public affirmations from the Father and never lost...

Show Notes: In this episode, Dr. Robyn Kassas and Dr. Nathan Kassas introduce the Valley Gate, the next gate of Jerusalem in their series through Nehemiah's rebuilding. They explain that the valley is a passage, not an identity, and that it is a place of inspection where God's Spirit goes low enough to see what is broken. Using Nehemiah 2 and 3 and Psalm 23, they note that a shadow implies light a...

Show Notes: In this episode, Dr. Robyn Kassas and Dr. Nathan Kassas conclude the Old Gate and introduce the Valley Gate from Nehemiah, where the movement is downward, not backward. They preview Season Casting 2027, the Hebraic year of Zion, and speak about trauma being stored in the body. Reading Nehemiah 2:13, they describe the Valley Gate as the gate of inspection: has the truth recovered at the...

Show Notes: In this episode, Dr. Robyn Kassas and Dr. Nathan Kassas complete their list of schema and rhema markers. They start with the peace marker, contrasting the peace of God with temporary relief, which comes when a threat is removed, and pointing to Philippians 4 and Jesus asleep in the boat. Next is the humility marker, using Peter's protest in Matthew 16 to show how a schema makes us unte...

Show Notes: In this episode, Dr. Robyn Kassas and Dr. Nathan Kassas continue identifying markers that separate a rhema from a schema, beginning with the control marker: does this require manipulation, deception, or pressure to make it happen? They discuss how a trigger activates a schema, how Saul dressed up disobedience in spiritual language, and how James 3:17 describes wisdom as willing to yiel...

Show Notes: In this episode, Dr. Robyn Kassas and Dr. Nathan Kassas continue their schema and rhema markers with the scripture marker and the fruit marker. A true rhema never contradicts the inspired written Word, and they contrast discernment with debate, pointing to Jesus answering the tempter with what is written. They discuss context over isolated verses, and they affirm that God's truth and l...

Show Notes: In this episode, Dr. Robyn Kassas and Dr. Nathan Kassas close out their look at the Old Gate and introduce the first of several markers for telling a schema from a rhema. They recall that Paul's word in Romans 12 for being conformed shares its root with schema, and that the gates of Nehemiah represent conversations in the believer's journey, with the Valley Gate coming next. The first...

Show Notes: In this episode, Dr. Robyn Kassas and Dr. Nathan Kassas conclude their Old Gate series by focusing on the rhema. From Romans 10:17 they explain that the "word" is the Greek rhema, God's spoken word, which brings faith where a schema brings prediction. Joseph is the model of a dreamer who learned to interpret by God's rhema. They give markers for discerning it: a rhema that makes you le...

Show Notes: In this episode, Dr. Robyn Kassas and Dr. Nathan Kassas continue examining scheming and how God replaces it with His rhema, turning a schemer into a dreamer. Jacob's story is the main example: he dreams at Bethel yet interprets the dream through a scheme, until God wrestles him at Peniel and changes his name to Israel. They discuss Rebekah's fear that the word would fail, how manipulat...

Show Notes: In this episode, Dr. Robyn Kassas and Dr. Nathan Kassas explain how a schema becomes a scheme: the schema interprets, the prediction anticipates, and the scheme tries to control the outcome. Using examples of abandonment, mistrust, and powerlessness, they show how a distorted map produces distorted strategies. Sarah's plan to give Hagar to Abraham and Saul's pursuit of David illustrate...

Show Notes: In this episode, Dr. Robyn Kassas and Dr. Nathan Kassas continue the Old Gate series, saying Christians are often taught to put off but not to put on. They connect Ephesians 4:22 to Jesus laying aside His deity and being crowned, and to the priest's garments on the Day of Atonement. Focusing on sin makes us less focused on Him; small daily victories matter. They explain how confirmatio...

Show Notes: In this episode, Dr. Robyn Kassas and Dr. Nathan Kassas open a new week at the Old Gate, recapping the law as love and the point that the fear of the Lord is a beginning, not an end. Returning to Jeremiah 6:16, they note that the real wrestle may be with God's way, not His Word or will. They introduce schemas as neural blueprints that help the brain process thousands of stimuli every s...

Show Notes: In this episode, Dr. Robyn Kassas and Dr. Nathan Kassas wrap up the Old Gate with key statements: it is not taking you backward but reconnecting you to what should never have been left behind. They explain that the brain predicts what could and should happen, which triggers sympathetic responses, while Jesus never predicted but went back to what the Father had said. Healing changes yes...

Show Notes: In this episode, Dr. Robyn Kassas and Dr. Nathan Kassas reflect on their three guest episodes with Dr. Tony Kassas and move the Old Gate into emotion and neuroscience. Where the fish gate was about remembering His voice, the old gate is about remembering His ways. They offer an acronym for pain and stresses that God does not erase the past but redeems it through remembrance. They contr...
