The Trust Factor with Jessy Revivo

Send us Fan Mail What if the costs and curveballs that rattle you are actually discounted justice—small settlements that spare you something worse? We explore that daring idea through ancient wisdom and everyday mishaps, showing how a calm, practical trust can turn hot anger into steady action. We start with a clear frame: not everything we call an accident is blind chance. Drawing on Rashi’s comm...

Send us Fan Mail Purpose isn’t a slogan; it’s the operating system behind a meaningful life. We pull the camera back and ask the questions most people skip: If everything around us was designed to do something, why would your life be the one exception? And if your deepest longings and creativity don’t fit inside a short lifespan, what are they pointing to? We start by resetting the foundation: tru...

Send us Fan Mail What if the hardest parts of your week are not random setbacks but personalized signals pointing you toward your purpose? We take a clear-eyed look at divine providence and how it shapes the details of life—relationships, money, timing, even the doors that close. Rather than speaking in abstractions, we break down how to read those signals before they turn into crises, and why a “...

Send us Fan Mail Some days everything clicks, and others feel like the floor drops out. We took that jarring contrast and asked a bigger question: what if the lows are not proof that life is broken but proof that something larger is working through us? From the slingshot image—where deeper pulls create farther launches—to stories about money stress and parenting chaos, we make a case for seeing se...

Send us Fan Mail Ever feel like everyone else got the easy script while you’re stuck with the plot twists? We dive into chapter one of Garden of Emuna and unpack the riddle of life with a practical toolkit: a weekly life inventory that swaps vague angst for grounded clarity. Instead of spiralling through why-me questions, we focus on reassessment—the professional habit first responders use to stab...

Send us Fan Mail Pain without meaning feels heavy; pain with purpose becomes bearable and often transformative. We open with a quick giveaway update and then go straight into the heart of our theme: how spiritual awareness changes the way we experience setbacks, from the massive life shocks to the tiny irritations that clog a day. The lens is practical. If the source behind events is loving and wi...

Send us Fan Mail Ready for a season that trades quick inspiration for deep transformation? We open season two by stepping into The Garden of Emuna and reframing it as a workbook for trust—something to practice, not just admire. From the first page, we focus on why review beats novelty when you want lasting change, and how small, steady repetitions can reshape how you think, choose, and respond eve...

Send us Fan Mail The moment you step into the water before it parts, everything changes. That’s the pulse of our season finale: a year of choosing action over comfort, finishing an 850-year-old guide to trust, and preparing a bigger, braver chapter together. We trace the spine of a simple law—measure for measure—and show how real movement invites real help, using the story of Nachshon to ground a...

Send us Fan Mail A flat tire, a skipped queue, and a moment that could have gone sideways—this story from Jerusalem turns everyday friction into a blueprint for calm. We open with a quick update and a weekly book giveaway, then move right into the reality of living in a city where holiness and distraction sit a short drive apart. That tension becomes the backdrop for a practice: choosing trust ove...

Send us Fan Mail A single shift in perception can change the way you work, relate, and breathe. From our perch in Jerusalem, we unpack what it really means to choose a relationship with God—not as robots or out of guilt, but as people who want a living bond that reshapes our days. The conversation bridges ancient wisdom with modern life, showing how faith cuts through anxiety, envy, and the urge t...

Send us Fan Mail The glow of a towering Hanukkah menorah lights our conversation as we record steps from the Western Wall in Jerusalem. The sounds of prayer, footfalls, and mic checks become more than ambience—they frame a question many of us avoid until life forces it: do we trust God only when we run out of options, or can trust become the steady rhythm of ordinary days? We unpack two pivotal le...

Send us Fan Mail What if the very thing you trust most—your skill, your boss, your market—could vanish overnight? From our temporary studio in Jerusalem, we trace the arc of trust from infancy to adulthood and challenge a belief many of us carry quietly: that security lives in what we can control or who will pay us. A stark story about a master scribe who credits his hand, only to lose it by night...

Send us Fan Mail A single Hanukkah flame can steady a shaken week. We open with a clear-eyed look at violence and the whiplash of media narratives, then pull the camera back to ask what we can trust when money rewards outrage and algorithms reward heat over light. Without flinching, we name the forces that buy attention and twist stories, and we answer with something older and stronger: the Maccab...

Send us Fan Mail When official reassurances ring hollow, what does real safety look like? We open with stark honesty about public trust, failed leadership, and the narrative sleight of hand that turns victims into suspects.  Then we choose a different path: practical self-governance, cleaner language, and community courage that refuses to hide in the face of a Chanukah massacre in Australia.  The...

Send us Fan Mail Fear told people to hide their identity. We chose to stand on a busy corner with flags and let courage do the talking. Our guest, Guidy Mammon—lawyer, proud Jew, and relentless advocate for Israel—walks us through the exact moment he decided to turn private shock into public leadership. What started as a few friends and a flag at Bathurst and Sheppard grew into a weekly rhythm tha...

Send us Fan Mail The world feels loud, fast, and certain about the wrong things. We slow down to map trust—not as wishful thinking, but as a learned practice that matures across life’s highs and lows. Starting from the messiness of the real world, we explore how attention and awareness shape the quality of our faith, why growth often spikes in crisis and dips in comfort, and how to hold steady whe...

Send us Fan Mail A few people with flags stood at a busy corner and refused to hide. That simple act of presence became a weekly current of courage—and the perfect doorway into a bigger question we’ve been exploring since day one: who really holds power, and what does trust look like when the stakes rise? We start by spotlighting our upcoming guest, Guidy Mamonn, the organizer behind ongoing ralli...

Send us Fan Mail Ever catch yourself praising your “skill” after a win and blaming someone else after a loss? We’ve been there too. Today we pull back the curtain on why the nearest cause is rarely the real cause, and how that shift changes trust, gratitude, and the way we carry success and failure. Using a dog-and-stick image you won’t forget, we explore how our minds fixate on what’s in front of...

Send us Fan Mail Want a wealth lesson that challenges your habits and strengthens your resolve? We break down the counterintuitive practice of giving a tithe—why setting aside 10% can open doors you can’t force and why the first steps often spark resistance. From “test me” to measure for measure, we unpack how generosity shifts both your inner world and your outer results, with stories, practical...

Send us Fan Mail What if the bravest thing you do today is small, visible, and costly—in all the right ways? We open with a challenge to the modern idea of “toughness,” shifting it from brawls and bravado to daily courage: writing a clear letter, sharing a fact-based post about Israel, supporting a neighbour, or giving when it hurts a little. Fear of labels and political correctness can freeze us;...

Send us Fan Mail A bully changes targets when the target changes posture. That simple truth sits at the heart of our conversation with security leader and activist Aaron Hadida, who explains why he stepped out from the shadows and into the spotlight to protect Jewish life. We explore how deterrence is a form of communication, why visible pride matters on the street and online, and how coordinated...

Send us Fan Mail What happens when a life spent on the front lines meets a faith that insists on proof you can touch? We open the door to a week-closing conversation that blends street-level vigilance with a spiritual idea many of us wrestle with: do your utmost, and let the results go. Along the way, we explore a striking Torah claim about fish that stands open to testing across centuries and tec...

Send us Fan Mail Start with a hard claim: if a single new animal with one kosher sign exists, the Torah’s most daring line would crack. We walk right up to that edge—then look down, not to flirt with a fall, but to measure whether ancient law stands when science kicks the tires. From the eighth day’s spike in clotting factors to public health data on circumcision and infection, we stack observatio...

Send us Fan Mail A knife in the dark, a spine held straight, and a covenant timed to the safest day of a newborn’s life—this conversation brings courage and design into the same frame. We introduce author Aaron Hadida, whose “tough Jew” ethos challenges the reflex to retreat when danger rises. His story sets a bold backdrop for our core question: what does Bitachon—trust—look like when it is more...

Send us Fan Mail The world rarely misses a beat. Seasons show up on time, the Earth leans at a just-right tilt, and our brains quietly coordinate billions of signals so we can think, move, and create. We take these patterns for granted, but when we pause to notice them, trust stops being vague and becomes grounded in something solid. We open with a quick celebration of our book giveaway and then p...
