    Another Ted Pearce Interview!

    So excited to welcome Ted Pearce back to Bagels and Blessings!  Ted Pearce lived his teenage years in Beaumont Texas as an atheist. It was not until he decided to read the Bible, to find contradiction within it, did God reveal Himself mightily to Ted. A radically core shaking experience by the Holy Spirit in 1990 brought Ted to become a believer and he has been a worshipper for the Lord ever since. Ted had already been playing professionally as a musician, but the Lord refined His gift towards worship and Ted soon recorded his first messianic album, "Shield of David" (1991). He later put together a Christian rock band releasing 2 very different albums Nomadic Farmers (1997) and Big Methuselah (1999). But his desire to bless Israel led him to record a new messianic project, which was called "Letter to the Hebrews" and released in Jerusalem on The Day of Pentecost 2001. Ted’s debut on Messianic worship label Galilee of the Nations followed in October of 2002 with "Zealous Over Zion".  He has since recorded several more CDs. His latest project is a unique collection of songs, written by Ted and Rabbi Michael Stepakoff.  "Stepakoff Sessions" uses AI to produce original songs that they co-wrote, giving us an Israeli sound with a full band effect. Ted is excited about his virtual reality tours to Israel and excitedly shared the latest project that he and his son developed.  His vision is to see all the sons of Adam turn to the God of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob and believes that he can help build bridges of shalom.

    Josh and Sarah Rebelak

    Josh and Sarah are husband and wife.  In their words, "God created; thus, we as His creation create things in return. One of our favorite ways to worship is singing- an act of creation that requires body, mind, and soul to unite together in a beautiful display of devotion. Our heart is that the music will bring you closer to God's own heart, and that you leave more in tune with His Spirit, through the mighty power of our Savior, Yeshua." They are both part of the group The Nesbitts and are expecting their first child in September.
