In this episode, we dive into the fascinating world of prophecy, exploring how God’s divine messages from the Old Testament are fulfilled in the New Testament. Prophecies are not just ancient predictions—they are a powerful testament to God's faithfulness, and when He speaks, it happens. Teaching children about prophecy helps them understand the reliability of God's Word and strengthens their faith in His promises. By instilling these truths early, we give them a foundational roadmap for life, guiding them through life's twists and turns with the assurance that they are part of God’s eternal story.

When life hits hard, some of us reach for chocolate. Personally, I reached for faith—and spoiler alert: it was way more powerful (though I do love a good truffle).

Today's episode was difficult and freeing as I open up about my heartbreaking loss of my son. With raw honesty and tear-sprinkled laughter, I share how I navigated the pain, questioned my path, and waited for divine DMs from above. Did God text back? Oh yes—and He brought community backup too.

Join me as I talk about the ministry I founded, Links to Messiah, and the little (and loud) moments that reminded her: I am not alone, and my work still matters. From listener love letters to goosebump-worthy "coincidences," I found hope in the chaos. And guess what? I am not done. I am planning faith-fueled family fun nights with a healthy side of storytelling, crafts, activities and spiritual snacks.

Whether you’ve questioned your purpose or just need a reminder that there’s still light in the grief, this episode is like a warm hug of encouragement from above!

Break out the groggers and put on your best costume—it's time for Purim! In this episode, we dive into the epic truths of Queen Esther, the brave Jewish heroine who saved her people (no pressure, right?).

But here’s the twist: God’s name isn’t mentioned once in the entire Book of Esther—yet His presence is everywhere, like a Jewish mother making sure you’ve eaten even when she’s not in the room. We’ll explore:

✨ How Esther’s courage reminds us of our own divine purpose.

✨ The surprising parallels between Esther’s bravery and the sacrifice of Jesus.

✨ A "God is at Work" scroll activity to help your family see that even when life feels uncertain, He’s always behind the scenes, pulling the strings (but not in a Fiddler on the Roof way).

So, grab your noisemakers, your best Queen Esther costume (or Mordechai beard), and let’s uncover the hidden miracles of Purim together.

In this episode of Links to Messiah, host Rachel Kushner unpacks the name Jehovah Jireh— “The Lord Who Provides.” From Abraham and Isaac to our daily needs, we’re exploring how God meets us exactly where we are, even when we don’t see it coming (kind of like finding an extra $5 in your coat pocket from last winter!).

We’ll talk about:
✨ How God provides exactly what we need, exactly when we need it.
✨ Why trusting Him means letting go of our need to control everything (yes, even the grocery list).
✨ A special family activity—the Blessing Basket—to help kids recognize and celebrate God’s daily provisions.
✨ The story of Abraham and Isaac as a powerful reminder of God’s faithfulness.

So, grab a cup of tea, take a deep breath, and join us as we discover the joy of trusting in our ever-faithful Provider.

Here is a little teaser: next week, we celebrate the Jewish holiday called Purim. If you desire some fun free downloadables for your children, click here to grab them!

Unlike that mystery container in the back of your fridge, God’s love never expires! In this episode, we’re diving into El Olam, the Everlasting God—unchanging, eternal, and, thankfully, not subject to wear and tear like Bubbe’s old recliner.

I’ll share personal reflections on God’s unwavering character (because let’s be real, consistency is rare—just look at the price of bagels these days!). Plus, we’ve got a fun family activity to help kids grasp the beauty of God’s everlasting presence.

Plus, we’ve got a fun and meaningful family activity: the "God’s Love Lasts Forever" Bracelet. Using simple beads and a string, kids will create a bracelet that serves as a tangible reminder of God’s never-ending love—way more reliable than that friendship bracelet they promised never to take off.

So, grab a snack, settle in, and let’s talk about the One thing in life that never fades, falters, or forgets you. L’chaim to that!

Takeaways

• El-Olam means God has no beginning and no end.
• Everything around us changes, but God never changes.
• Jesus Christ is the same yesterday, today, and forever.
• Knowing God is everlasting gives us peace.
• We can trust that God is in control.
• God's love for us will never end.
• Family activities can help teach children about God.
