Living Messiah, Hebrew Roots, Messianic, Yeshua Torah Congregation

A great way to redeem my commute time.

I recently listened to a podcast episode from a Messianic Jewish preacher who used the **NASB 1995** Bible during his teaching. While he verbally substituted key names and terms with Hebrew words, this approach felt inconsistent and a bit inauthentic. There’s also another preacher who is changing the words because I cannot find the Bible he’s reading from to follow along. As someone who values the **Jewish roots of faith**, I was expecting the use of a translation like the **Complete Jewish Bible (CJB)** or **Tree of Life Version (TLV)**—both of which naturally incorporate Hebrew names and terminology. These translations would offer a more authentic and seamless experience for listeners looking to connect with the **Messianic Jewish perspective**. While I appreciate the effort to include Hebrew terms, it felt more like a forced overlay onto a standard Christian Bible translation, rather than a true embrace of Messianic Judaism. For a podcast focused on Messianic teachings, it would be more meaningful to use a translation that fully reflects the **Jewish context** from the beginning. I hope to see more consistency in future episodes, where the teaching style and chosen Bible translation are more aligned with Messianic traditions.

Great messages and delivery! Subscribed and awaiting the next lesson!

Love this podcast! What is shared is what I’ve been needing in my life.
