Reunion Roadmap

Hebrews 11 tells us it's impossible to please God without faith. So what is faith? How do we get it? What do we do with it? David Jones and Barry Phillips offer some answers to these questions and more. They have much to say about what faith is, and what it isn't! Thanks for listening to Reunion Roadmap! We have more resources available on our B'ney Yosef North American website at h...

We read in the Bible that God's thoughts and ways are different from our own. What does that mean when we are trying to make sense of life? How do we account for the many different understandings we have of God and His word? Barry Phillips and David Jones have some helpful thoughts about that. Thanks for listening to Reunion Roadmap! We have more resources available on our B'ney Yosef No...

How do we define "home"? For the people of God, what is our final or eternal home? Is it heaven, or someplace else? David Jones and Barry Phillips have some deep thoughts about those questions in this midrash. Thanks for listening to Reunion Roadmap! We have more resources available on our B'ney Yosef North American website at https://bneyyosefna.com/ If you like what you've he...

We've heard the story of Gideon and his 300 chosen warriors who defeated the vast army of Midian through the power of God. What we may not remember is the difficult battles Gideon fought just to get to that place of trusting God to do what He had promised. That's what Barry Phillips and David Jones talk about in this midrash. As they explain, before we can go to war with our adversary, w...

What's the big deal about red cows in Israel? Adam Eliyahu Berkowitz explains that in his new book, Return of the Red Heifers: Paving the Road to Redemption .  This really is a big deal because it brings Israel much closer to restoring the Temple service in Jerusalem just as promised in the Bible. The problem is, this is a subject very few people understand. That lack of understanding, both a...

Who is Amalek and why should we care? That's the topic of this conversation David Jones and Barry Phillips share. Yes, Amalek was an ancient enemy of Israel, but there's more about that ancient struggle than meets the eye. In fact, the struggle is still happening in ways that impact every one of us. Thanks for listening to Reunion Roadmap! We have more resources available on our B'n...

Christian prophetic thought has long understood that God’s timetable centers on Israel. It’s actually more than that, as Samuel Wearp can tell you. Not only is Israel the center of prophecy, it’s the reason for prophecy. The entire history of humanity revolves around God’s creation, redemption, judgment, restoration, and exaltation of His covenant nation of Israel. Samuel has been connected to Isr...

What does the mention of spiritual warfare bring to mind? Probably something about demonic possession and exorcism - something that we have heard happens to other people. But what if there's more to it - and less to it - than that? What if spiritual warfare is something we do by drawing closer to our God, learning His word, listening for His voice, and obeying His directions? David Jones and...

The picture we get of Pharisees probably comes from Matthew 23, which records Yeshua's rebuke of the scribes and Pharisees as hypocrites. But were they all corrupt hypocrites? If they weren't, then what have we missed - and why might that be important? That's what Barry Phillips and David Jones discuss in this journey through the scripture. Thanks for listening to Reunion Roadmap! W...

Among the peculiar promises of God about the restoration of Israel is this one: Strangers will stand and shepherd your flocks, children of foreigners will be your plowmen and vinedressers. Isaiah 61:5 Samuel Wearp is one of those strangers who will tend the flocks of Israel! He and his new bride, Keila, are even now in Israel leading a team of sheep shearers in a project to assist the Jewish pione...

If Israel really is God’s prophetic timepiece, how does that impact our lives? How should people who profess faith in the Messiah of Israel think about that, and about the Jewish people who are the native born Israelites? Samuel Wearp has some practical counsel about that based on his experience of serving Israel and the Jewish people. It starts with prayer, as we discuss in this second part of ou...

Christian prophetic thought has long understood that God’s timetable centers on Israel. It’s actually more than that, as Samuel Wearp can tell you. Samuel has been connected to Israel for many years, particularly through his family’s business, Blessed Buy Israel , and the bridgebuilding work of Ten From the Nations , and now in a new work called Rising Sparks . We talk about all of that in this th...

Hanoch Young has been a Jewish activist since his youth. As he will tell you, that’s what got him arrested on three continents before his 21st birthday! He’s still an activist, but instead of protesting and gaining negative attention from authorities, he’s building bridges with the House of Joseph in expectation that one day soon the two parts of God’s Covenant Nation of Israel will become one in...

What were you doing at the age of 8? That’s the age Morgan Phelps was when she started her first business! Now in her 20s, she not only continues to operate her own businesses, she also advises others who would like to go into business or manage their family farms. Morgan and her family are no strangers to adversity – even some of the worst kinds of loss. Nevertheless, they have found ways to surv...

The atrocities Hamas committed against Israel on October 7, 2023, should have brought universal condemnation of the Arab terrorist group, but instead has resulted in an explosion of antisemitic violence and international condemnation of Israel. There has been resistance to these horrifying developments, but Hanoch Young believes it’s not enough. Where is the Jewish activism he knew in his youth? A...

What would it take for Israel to extend an invitation to Christians who express identity with and love for the world’s only Jewish State to come and live there? What about those who identify as Ephraim, and therefore as part of the non-Jewish tribes of Israel? Is Israel close to welcoming them? Hanoch Young has some instructive thoughts about that which he shares in this second of our three-part c...

What is more important to our Creator: that we have perfect knowledge of His word, or that we act on what we know with hearts of compassion? Tony Boyatt has been talking about this since the earliest days of The Exodus Road Band . In fact, the band’s first album is called Heart of the Matter ! Tony shares how he learned that truth through hard experience. He has walked out the lesson of repentance...

In a sense, we are all caught in a spiritual prison. Our hearts are incorrigible, and thus our Creator has turned us over to the consequences of our own misdeeds. That’s where we would remain had our Creator not determined to bring us out of that dark place. This is the story of redemption – we didn’t earn it, but God offers it anyway, even when we don’t realize there’s a better alternative to our...

At 95 years of age, Canadian Georgina Saunders has a few stories to tell! Georgina’s intimate walk with the Lord began at about the time many people are entering their twilight years. Her life was already eventful and fascinating before then, but the real adventure began when she surrendered her life to Yeshua, embraced an enduring love of Israel, and made herself available to her Redeemer to go w...

If what comes out of our mouths reflects what's in our hearts, then do our words give us an indication of how yielded we are to the Spirit of God? Barry Phillips and David Jones investigate this in a penetrating midrash about righteous character. Thanks for listening to Reunion Roadmap!

Why should Christians care about Israel and the Jewish people? That’s a question Al McCarn answers in his new book, Christian Zionism 101: Ten Reasons Christians Should Support Israel and the Jewish People . It all starts with the definition of Zionism: the movement for the return of the Jewish people to their ancestral homeland and the resumption of Jewish sovereignty in the Land of Israel.  So w...

When did the history of Israel begin? Not in 1948, when the modern state of Israel became independent, and not in 1917, when the British Empire declared its agreement to a homeland for the Jewish people. As Al McCarn explains in his book, Christian Zionism 101: Ten Reasons Christians Should Support Israel and the Jewish People , the history of Israel began when God called Abraham out of his homela...

It If God is zealous over Zion, shouldn’t His people share that zeal? Of course, it might help if they understood exactly what Zion is, and why Zionism is important to the Creator of the Universe. That’s why Al McCarn wrote his book, Christian Zionism 101: Ten Reasons Christians Should Support Israel and the Jewish People . In this second part of our conversation Al shares some more of those impor...
