    69 – Sojourners and Exiles | Filmmaker Reed Smith
    Mar 2 2025
    Followers of Yeshua are called to take up their cross—to become martyrs. This mandate inspired one filmmaker, Reed Smith, to explore the lives of those disciples who are risking everything to follow Yeshua. In the process, he found that the gospel message was inextricably tied to the exile and redemption of Israel. In this episode, filmmaker Reed Smith discusses the themes of his new film, Sojourners and Exiles, which explores the cost of discipleship for modern-day disciples of Yeshua. – Episode Takeaways – • The Call to Martyrdom and Discipleship – Followers of Yeshua are called to take up their cross, a theme that inspired filmmaker Reed Smith to explore modern discipleship and persecution. • The Gospel’s Connection to Israel – Smith discovered that the message of the gospel is deeply tied to the exile and redemption of Israel, emphasizing that God's plan is Israel-centric. • "Sojourners and Exiles" Film – The documentary explores the cost of discipleship, focusing on real-life martyrs and their sacrifices for faith. • Western Christianity Lacks a Theology of Martyrdom – The podcast discusses how many Western Christians have not seriously considered martyrdom, while believers in other parts of the world face real persecution. • The Film's Unexpected Shift – While initially about martyrdom, the film evolves into a broader message about the Gospel of the Kingdom, the role of Israel, and the Jewish Messiah’s return. • A Palestinian Jordanian’s Journey – The film features a Palestinian Jordanian Christian who, despite cultural and religious opposition, embraces an Israel-centric gospel, demonstrating deep personal sacrifice. • Persecution for Supporting Israel – The discussion highlights how supporting Israel is becoming increasingly controversial, even within Christian circles, leading to potential persecution in the West. • The True Meaning of Matthew 25 – The film presents a compelling interpretation that Jesus' "least of these my brethren" in Matthew 25 refers to the Jewish people, challenging traditional Christian views. • Torah Club’s Role in Spiritual Growth – Smith shares how joining a Torah Club has deepened his understanding of the Jewish context of Scripture, reinforcing the need to see Jesus within His Jewish identity. – Episode Resources – Sojourners and Exiles Trailer: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GqSp8VmjHV0 Sojourners and Exiles Film: https://49tenfilms.vhx.tv/ I See Nations Trailer: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tvgNZir8ns8 I See Nations Film: https://youtu.be/mDun8p4u9LM?si Messiah Podcast is a production of First Fruits of Zion (https://ffoz.org) in conjunction with Messiah Magazine.

  • 68 – The Telepathy Tapes and Jewish Spirituality

    68 – The Telepathy Tapes and Jewish Spirituality
    Feb 18 2025
    The Telepathy Tapes has become one of the most popular podcasts in the world. Severely autistic non-verbal children and adults have apparently always been able to read minds, and they’re receiving revelations from God that validate a Messianic Jewish perspective. Our guests today, First Fruits of Zion’s Director of Education, D. Thomas Lancaster, and Jeremiah Michael from the Bram Center for Messianic Jewish Learning, are here to untangle the spiritual implications of this phenomenon—is it real? And if so, what is our proper response to it? – Takeaways – • Experts have historically dismissed telepathy, but new evidence has emerged that non-verbal autistic individuals have unique connections to a spiritual realm where such abilities may in fact exist. • While there was controversy among the scientific community in the original case studies, new technology and methods of communication have since evolved that invalidate the original objections to telepathy. • The nature of reality is complex, with spiritual dimensions influencing our perceptions. This exploration into the experience of non-verbal autistic children is a glimpse behind the veil of the material world into the world of souls. This vision validates the standard belief in Judaism of the pre-existence of the soul. This world of souls is where consciousness operates on a spiritual level beyond material understanding. • What these children have told us aligns with biblical stories and teachings within Judaism and the message they bring to the world emphasizes love and repentance. • Non-verbal autistic children have a profound spiritual mission. • The human ego often gets in the way of accessing the spiritual world. Severely autistic children seem to have acquired their gifts by virtue of their inherent lack of ego. This causes us to question, can anyone gain high spiritual giftings by putting themselves through a rigorous exercise to nullify the ego? • Idolatry is incompatible with the presence of God. • Regardless of what we are told regarding the spiritual world, the Scriptures must remain our guardrail to determine ultimate truth so that a person does not fall into the occult. • Necromancy is forbidden, but messages from the deceased can occur. • Jewish tradition around the soul’s journey to God during sleep has been validated. • How can we best understand the fact that non-speaking autistic Jewish kids have not had experiences of meeting Jesus in their spiritual encounters? • There is a spiritual interconnectedness between the Jewish people. • Glimpsing into the world of thought elicits a profound sense of the fear of man but more importantly it ought to also lead us to a fear of God. • The primary takeaway is that God and the spiritual realm are actually real. The Messiah is coming and calling humanity to repentance. Since we are more than physical bodies, we should feel inspired to BE more and to LIVE for more than physical existence but to aim for things higher and more noble. – Resources – Messiah Podcast Episode 67: Autism, Telepathy, and Faith https://ffoz.org/messiah/podcast/autism-telepathy-and-faith The Beginning of Wisdom: https://ffoz.store/products/torah-club-beginning-of-wisdom-commentary-set-audiobook The Telepathy Tapes: https://thetelepathytapes.com/ Josiah's Fire: https://www.amazon.com/Josiahs-Fire-Autism-Stole-Words/dp/1424551404 The Book of Heaven: https://www.amazon.com/dp/1737898608 Messiah Podcast is a production of First Fruits of Zion (https://ffoz.org) in conjunction with Messiah Magazine.

  • 67 – Autism, Telepathy, and Faith | Katie Asher

    67 – Autism, Telepathy, and Faith | Katie Asher
    Feb 4 2025
    For almost two decades, the doctors told her that her son was a lost cause—he would never speak, would never understand, would never function in society. Then, a miracle happened. Our guest today is Katie Asher from The Telepathy Tapes podcast, and her son Houston can read her thoughts. But that’s just the beginning of the story. She’s here today to tell us about Houston’s spiritual journey and what he has taught her about the God of Israel and the Jewish Messiah. – Takeaways – • Katie Asher's journey began with her son Houston's diagnosis of Autism Savant. • The Telepathy Tapes podcast emerged from a documentary project. • Facilitated communication and spelling helps non-speakers express themselves. • The emotional toll of raising a child with autism. • Katie's determination to understand her son led to profound discoveries. • The revelation of Houston's ability to hear thoughts changed everything. • Katie realized the power of thoughts and their impact on reality. • There is a scriptural framework for understanding Houston's abilities. • God works all things together for good, even pain and suffering. • Negative thoughts impact a person’s body and spiritual connection to God. • Faith is about believing God and his promises, not just believing in him. • Prayers are forces that assist the spiritual to bring about God’s will in the world. • Children have a unique connection to the spiritual realm that defies time and space. • A soul agrees to the path and mission that God gives to it before birth. • Truth exists beyond materialistic perceptions. • Jesus is the Lamb of God and the Messiah. • God’s covenant with Israel and love for her is significant and everlasting. • God loves the Jewish people and has extended salvation to the Jew first. • The nature of God's justice is rooted in love and compassion and is greater than our human perceptions. • We are not a body. We are a soul with a body. • Our great challenge and calling is to prioritize love over materialism and ego. – Resources – The Book of Heaven: A Story of Hope for the Outcasts, the Broken, and Those Who Lost Faith https://www.amazon.com/Book-Heaven-Story-Outcasts-Broken/dp/1737898608 The Telepathy Tapes Podcast https://thetelepathytapes.com Katie Asher’s Facebook https://www.facebook.com/katie.asher11 Article: I Can Hear Thoughts https://ffoz.org/messiah/articles/i-can-hear-thoughts The Beginning of Wisdom Bible Commentary: https://ffoz.store/products/torah-club-beginning-of-wisdom-commentary-set-audiobook Messiah Podcast is a production of First Fruits of Zion (https://ffoz.org) in conjunction with Messiah Magazine.

Relevant, challenging, and inspiring

The First Fruits Of Zion team continues to deliver interesting, challenging, relevant, and inspiring content. I’ve wished that FFOZ would put out a podcast for years and it’s great to see the team come together and enter the podcasting world with flair. Joshua and Aaron‘s music provides a great theme track for the show. I look forward to hearing and learning from future discussions they have with scholars and biblical thinkers that are working together to connect and grow the message in a Jewish movement.

A Good Study Beyond The "Study"

This study was actually very interesting. however I do agree somewhat with the other review in that it would benefit from allowing full expression of the story before commenting. nevertheless I found it very interesting and was still able to enjoy this perspective.
