Ep 866Episode 866: The Roles of Men & Women | Part 1
These days, some cannot define the meaning of ‘woman,’ men think they are women, or women decide they are men. Society uses terms such as toxic masculinity, macho, chauvinist, misogynist, and sexist to describe men. Because of this, the roles of men and women, as Elohim intended, are all but lost to the depravity of the human condition.Addressing a topic not talked about robustly in Scripture, Rabbi Steve Berkson embarks on resetting our understanding of what men should be and do and what women should be and do. He begins at the Beginning when the creation of Mankind commenced.Rabbi Berkson adds a twist to this teaching by connecting the account in Genesis, the Garden of Eden, with Paul’s letter to the Ephesians.Before this teaching series is complete, Rabbi Berkson will have traversed the entirety of Scripture so that you are confident that the message is sound and founded on the Word of Elohim.• Genesis 1:26-27 – Created in the image of Elohim• Genesis 1:28-31 – Man was given authority to represent Elohim on earth• Genesis 2:7-8 – Elohim breathed life into man• Ephesians 2:1-3 – After Eden…• Ephesians 2:4-7 – Elohim again gave life to men through Messiah• Ephesians 2:8-10 – Elohim believes you can do it• Ephesians 2:11-12 – Without Messiah fully…• Ephesians 2:13 – Back to Eden• Messiah is our peace and makes us one• Ephesians 2:16 – Destroying the enmity between husband and wife• Ephesians 2:17-22 – Built together into a set-apart tabernacle (1 Cor 12)Take advantage of new teachings every week.

Ep 864Episode 864: Prep Day 2 | Excuses Are For You
Making excuses when one wants to escape a duty or undesirable situation is built into the human condition. Some may call them little “white lies” or whatever.However, when someone begins a Torah-pursuant walk, the excuses must end. There is no place in the Kingdom of Elohim where making excuses is tolerated. To make his point, Elder Jackson takes us on a journey through some examples throughout Scripture and exhorts all Torah-pursuant people to drop the flimsy excuses - to step up and get their jobs done for the Kingdom.• Intro• What is an excuse?• Exodus 12:31-35 – Prep day 1• Exodus 16:1-4 – Our excuses are just drama & negative emotion to others• Genesis 3:12 – Why do we make excuses?• Exodus 32:1-23 – The golden calf and Aaron’s excuse• Luke 14:15-26 – The great banquet and the invitation with no time or date• Psalm 27:1-6 – Two sides of a kingListen to the Afterburn tomorrowTake advantage of new teachings every week.

Ep 828Episode 828: SIN - A Breach of Relationship
Put away whatever you may think about the concept of sin. All Judeo-Christian groups teach about sin. They all agree and teach you that you ought not to sin. But do they understand what they are teaching?In this teaching series, Rabbi Steve Berkson once again redefines our lexicon. He sheds new light on this greatly misunderstood but critically important topic from the Word of Elohim.• The Launching Point and definitions• The Covenant - a relationship with Elohim (Exodus 19)• All sin has consequences (Romans 6:23)• The being that sins shall die (Ezekiel 18)• Own your life• This is how to be declared right• What merits the favor? (Ephesians 2:5)• Other consequences are referred to as the curses (Deuteronomy 28)• If you seek Yahweh and diligently obey His voice• A relationship with set expectations• Elohim will not be mocked (Galatians 6:7)• Somebody to stand in the breach (Ezekiel 22:25-31)Take advantage of new teachings every week.

Ep 825Episode 825: Prep Day - Will You be Ready?
Those covenanted with Elohim refer to Friday every week as Preparation Day. Preparing for Shabbat is the goal. The washing of clothes, cleaning the house, cleansing the body, and preparing enough food for eating after sundown on Friday till sunset on Shabbat. Also, preparing the mind and heart for one thing – to spend time, this set-apart time, with our Creator, our Father.Expanding on this concept, Elder William Jackson, Rabbi Berkson’s executive assistant, urges us to be mindful of the return of Messiah Yeshua in the same way and prepare ourselves for this day to which we are all looking forward.• Let’s learn to be Shabbat-centric• Exodus 12:31-39 – Preparation Day defined• Exodus 16:1-28 – Grumbling and playing with stinky stuff• What about preparing internally?• Why do we need to be prepared?• Matthew 25:1-5 – They all slumbered and slept• Matthew 25:6-13 – The Bridegroom came and the door was shut• Matthew 24:14-15 – Why did Yeshua tell the parable of the virgins?• Matthew 24:42-46 – Messiah Yeshua is coming like a thief in the night• This journey should be enjoyable• Some things need to be replacedTake advantage of new teachings every week.
