He also founded a fellowship called Seed of Abraham in Florida, and his website hosts the Holyland Marketplace, which connects westerners with craftsmen in Israel so they can directly purchase hand-made wares, such as shofars, menorahs and jewelry (it's like an Israeli Etsy).

Meet me for a video chat on Patreon every month: https://www.patreon.com/TheLifeWithLuke Jason Towe was the protagonist in the documentary The Way, which we made in 2016. In that film he tells his life story of coming from a long line of Baptist ministers and the massive backlash he and his wife Amanda received when they stopped eating unclean meats and started worshiping on the seventh-day Sabbath. (In the intro I mistakenly say his dad was a minister - he was not. It was Jason's great grandfather and grandfather.) In this episode, Jason describes how he and I met and what's happened since then, including lessons he had to learn the hard way about sharing Torah with others and starting a fellowship. Since that time he's become the head pastor of Pursuing Truth Ministries. He'll talk to us about going to seminary after coming into Torah, fostering more than 30 children and encountering every weird, wild and awesome thing in the "Hebrew Roots" movement. And he has good advice for anyone new to Torah.

Meet up with us for a virtual hangout on Patreon each month: https://www.patreon.com/TheLifeWithLuke Angela Hollon was a practicing pagan for decades before her life fell apart, her newborn daughter had a medical injury and her husband had a traumatic brain injury caused by an IED while fighting for the country. All of these challenges brought her to the feet of YHVH, who helped her and her husband James find healing in spite of many failed social safety nets for combat-injured veterans. The quest inspired them to rewrite the rules by starting their own non-profit called Set Apart Farms which the Hollons describe as "a working farm that houses Veteran families. Through the program, they will be connected to the services and therapies they are qualified for within the Veteran hospital while receiving information and personal assistance to help them navigate the very complex VA system. They will be connected with multiple private sector services to include EMDR therapy, family therapy, and other services not just for the Veteran, but for the family members as well." Angela also runs Herbs of the Torah, where she shares natural remedies and holistic wellness information.

    Love The LIFE? Support the show and meet up with us for a virtual hangout on Patreon each month: https://www.patreon.com/TheLifeWithLuke This week we interview Annette Reeder (The Biblical Nutritionist) about cancer prevention, optimizing immune system function, the science and spiritual truths behind real and fake salt, the power of broccoli and ultimately, deciding to make YHWH the authority in our lives, when the healthcare system, the government and the influencers pushing the latest fad diets are all vying for that position. Annette began paying attention to what the Bible said about food when she found herself ill and obese. Trying to follow what God says about food totally changed her life for the better and now she uses those insights to help guide others down the same healthful path. She says choosing to trust and have faith in God as our guide in all aspects of life is what sets us free.

The filmmaker travels the globe to speak to some of the world's foremost experts in early Christianity, pre-Christian religions, early United States history, ancient Roman history, alternative religions and cults and all things Santa Claus. The documentary explores questions like: If not directly from the Bible, where did we get traditions like Christmas trees, mistletoe, gifts in stockings, caroling, and yule logs? Why was Christmas once illegal in the United States? Are there clear connections between Christmas traditions and paganism? Even if the trappings of Christmas are somehow linked to the worship of pagan gods, does God care? The aim of the film is to get to the bottom of why Christians celebrate Christ's birth in certain ways - and then, to let the audience decide whether Christmas passes the test of worshiping God "in both spirit and truth.": https://www.thewaydoc.com/collections/the-christmas-question THE WAY documentary, a film which tells the story of countless believers around the world who’ve traded Easter ham for Passover lamb and Sunday church for Saturday Sabbath - all in an effort to live like their Savior.
