    You Were A Stranger |How to Share Torah Without Burning Bridges

    Have you ever discovered something so life-changing that you felt others had been misled? But what if the way you share that truth is pushing people further away? In Parashat Mishpatim, the Torah commands us to return a lost object. What if that “lost object” is faith itself? What if our Jewish and Christian brothers and sisters aren’t rebellious—but simply unaware? Are you dropping crumbs that awaken curiosity… or truth bombs that cause damage? This message explores empathy, responsibility, and how to draw people close to Torah without weaponizing it. You were once a stranger. How will you treat the strangers around you?

    5 Minute Torah - Mishpatim - You Are All Gods

    Parashat Mishpatim contains more than fifty commandments, but one question changes how we read all of them: When the Torah says disputes must be brought “before God,” what does that actually mean? Does God personally issue verdicts in civil cases? Or did He authorize human beings to judge in His name? This Torah portion forces us to wrestle with authority, justice, and how heaven’s will is carried out on earth. It also sheds light on a statement Yeshua makes that many find troubling—and deeply misunderstood. Who speaks for God in matters of justice, and why does it matter? Let’s explore these questions together in this week’s 5 Minute Torah.

  3. The Bridge

    FEB 9

    The Bridge

    Is Messianic Judaism really a bridge between Christianity and Judaism… or have we misunderstood the mission entirely? What if the “bridge” isn’t an institution — but you? What if the valley of doubt, loss, and confusion you walked through wasn’t a mistake… but construction? Why does spiritual growth require descent? Why do some quit in the valley while others come out as builders? And why would that make you “dangerous” to certain voices? This teaching reframes the journey, the struggle, and your calling. You’re not just learning truth. You’re being shaped into a guide. The bridge the world needs may already be built — in you.

    5 Minute Torah - Yitro - Believe In Moses

    Yeshua once said that if people won’t listen to Moses, they won’t be convinced—even if someone rises from the dead. That’s a strange statement… unless Moses plays a far bigger role than we usually admit. What if believing in Yeshua actually requires believing Moses first? What if faith in the Messiah is inseparable from faith in the covenant delivered at Sinai? In this week’s 5 Minute Torah, we explore Parashat Yitro, the wisdom of Jethro, the fearsome holiness of Sinai, and why trust in God’s messenger is foundational to hearing God’s voice. Are we believing the messenger—but missing the message?

    Forget January | God’s Calendar vs. The World’s Calendar

    What if your January goals didn’t fail because you lack discipline… but because you picked the wrong season? Why does the world shout “Start now!” while your body feels tired, slow, and unmotivated? What if growth doesn’t follow Rome’s calendar — but God’s? There’s a reason trees don’t bloom in winter. There’s a reason the sap rises before the fruit appears. And there’s a reason your moment isn’t about instant transformation, but internal awakening. Could it be that you’re not behind… you’re just early? Discover why Tu BiShvat — the New Year for Trees — reveals how real growth actually begins, and why your “later” might finally be… now.

    5 Minute Torah - Beshalach - Don't Pray

    Is it possible to pray at the wrong time? We’re taught to pray about everything—every decision, every crisis, every moment of fear. But what if prayer can actually become a delay tactic? What if, in some situations, praying isn’t spiritual… it’s avoidance? When Israel stood trapped between Pharaoh’s army and the Sea of Reeds, they cried out. But God’s response wasn’t, “Pray harder.” It was, “Move.” Are there moments when God has already spoken—and He’s waiting on obedience, not more words? This week’s 5 Minute Torah challenges how we think about prayer, action, and trust.

    Born Again? Now What?

    What if being “born again” wasn’t the finish line… but the starting line? Why do so many believers stay spiritually safe, stuck in what’s familiar, while God keeps nudging them toward growth? Are you avoiding the hard thing He’s been putting in front of you? The conversation, the change, the obedience, the step into the unknown? Comfort feels secure — but is it quietly shrinking your life? In this teaching, we explore why new life in Messiah is about becoming, not settling… and why the version of you who faces tomorrow’s challenge isn’t the same person sitting there today. So what step have you been putting off?

    5 Minute Torah - Bo - The Battle for the Next Generation

    Why did God continue His battle with Pharaoh—even after Egypt was already broken? The Torah reveals that this struggle was never just about power, plagues, or freedom. It was about legacy. God tells Moses that these events were meant to be told to sons and grandsons—so that no generation would forget Him. But Pharaoh had another plan: let the adults go, keep the children. That ancient strategy hasn’t disappeared. Who is shaping the faith of the next generation today—and what happens if we don’t take our children with us? Let’s explore why legacy is the real battleground… in this week’s 5 Minute Torah.
