About this listen

This podcast was created to help youth ministry leaders become better disciple-makers in the 21st century by educating them on the first-century context, culture and way of life of Jesus and the Jewish people. You'll hear great conversations from scholars in first-century judaism as well as seasoned youth ministry giants to help you bridge the gap between the world of the first century and your world in youth ministry today.

Hosted by Heather Quiroz, author and founder of First-Century Youth Ministry and Jonathan Brown, Messianic writer and teacher with Kehillat Yeshua Ministries, and Torah Apologetics. Heather and Jonathan are passionate about helping others understand Jesus from within His Jewish context.

    Hey! We're back! Jonathan and Heather are back for a brand new season of the podcast. Since our lives have gotten really busy we're going to be releasing longer episodes once a month.

    This month we discuss the Hebrew words associated with the weighing of Pharaoh's heart and the word play taking place in conjunction with Egyptian mythology.

    Thanks for being a listener!
