# Journey From Jacob Welcome to the Journey from Jacob podcast where we explore the answer to the age-old question regarding why the Jews were forged into a unique nation~what role does the Gentile play~ and why the outrage? It is also about the spiritual trek Jacob made on his way to becoming Israel. We will learn how his journey has lessons for your journey if you are a modern day disciple of Jesus. Paul brings some much-needed clarity to the conversation regarding the role and importance of Israel today, and why… Page: Feed: --- ## [The Sons of Jacob Journey continues](https://rss.com/podcasts/journey-from-jacob/3051400) _2026-08-06_ One of the rules of learning is to build upon our understanding of history. This holds true across all fields of education. We can’t change history, but we should take advantage of learning from it. Otherwise, we will repeat the mistakes by ignoring the built-in lessons that accompany the experiences of others. The Hebrew Bible is filled with opportunities to learn from the lives of the… [Listen](https://content.rss.com/episodes/346239/3051400/journey-from-jacob/2026_08_06_15_23_55_a5f7b8d6-2c0f-48c8-b2c7-d07cce4c96e5.mp3) ## ["Whom are You Seeking?" part two](https://rss.com/podcasts/journey-from-jacob/2993114) _2026-07-15_ Seeking is a major concept in the Bible. It is where the natural and the supernatural intersect. When we seek we will find, but what we find reflects on how we seek. If it’s for personal gratification we will be disappointed. If it is from the heart we will find the Kingdom of God and the King who provides and protects, comforts and encourages, so that we can do likewise for others. That is His… [Listen](https://content.rss.com/episodes/346239/2993114/journey-from-jacob/2026_07_15_13_28_08_8e32719d-f22f-43a1-ad51-d50802cecb08.mp3) ## ["Whom are You Seeking?" part one](https://rss.com/podcasts/journey-from-jacob/2945950) _2026-06-26_ Whom are You Seeking? Most searches begin by seeking a “what?” and not a “whom?” “What do you want to be when you grow up?” Almost every child in America knows that question, and subconsciously, it leads to a quest. As we grow up, we recognize that what we want is to be happy, and money seems to be the way to achieve it. If all roads lead to happiness, money is the bus to jump on. However, if we… [Listen](https://content.rss.com/episodes/346239/2945950/journey-from-jacob/2026_06_26_16_50_45_513402a7-6678-4d8e-afee-3a7d85568c5e.mp3) ## [To the Nations-or not.](https://rss.com/podcasts/journey-from-jacob/2901501) _2026-06-10_ Into the Nations~ or not Prophetically, the blessing that God gave to Abraham would go into the nations through the descendants of Jacob. Many centuries have passed since the promise was given and the nations are still waiting. Even if they are completely unaware of what they are waiting for, the blessing will arrive, and it will come through the descendants of Jacob, because God cannot lie. For… [Listen](https://content.rss.com/episodes/346239/2901501/journey-from-jacob/2026_06_11_16_25_25_7d757605-4e3b-49f2-aeb2-655c8961f499.mp3) ## [Prophetic Love](https://rss.com/podcasts/journey-from-jacob/2849842) _2026-05-22_ It seems every Bible teacher in the world is either teaching or wondering if these really are the last days and Jesus will soon return. However, there is one “birth pang” not on the prophetic calendar as it should have been all along, that is Brotherly Love. I fear it has been missing for so long in so many places that we will be shocked and embarrassed by our spiritual nakedness. This is not an… [Listen](https://content.rss.com/episodes/346239/2849842/journey-from-jacob/2026_05_22_15_03_48_7a55a3b7-8034-4fc7-aa21-8cef71c3548d.mp3) ## [Brotherly Love continued](https://rss.com/podcasts/journey-from-jacob/2802712) _2026-05-07_ Brotherly Love is like a passport. It comes with citizen rights and responsibilities. As citizens of the Kingdom, God expects us to utilize it. He can rightfully do so because Jesus paid the price for love to function as it should in His kingdom. In the Hebrew Bible, brotherly love is often difficult to locate. Instead of judging the sons of Jacob for their lack of brotherly love, in this episode,… [Listen](https://content.rss.com/episodes/346239/2802712/journey-from-jacob/2026_05_07_16_36_04_1054581e-9006-411f-9754-59c54b60b73e.mp3) ## [Brotherly Love is not a Suggestion](https://rss.com/podcasts/journey-from-jacob/2796661) _2026-05-05_ Brotherly Love is not a Suggestion As followers of Yeshua, we keep our focus upon Him for instruction and direction. We study, we sing songs and we pray. We say “It’s all about You, Jesus,” but is that an accurate description of what it means to be His disciple? On His last night on Earth following the Passover Meal, His Last Supper, in an intimate moment with His disciples, Yeshua shared these… [Listen](https://content.rss.com/episodes/346239/2796661/journey-from-jacob/2026_05_05_20_09_38_298eafff-0d1f-4d7c-a784-47dc643d30a5.mp3) ## [Introducing the Descendants of Jacob](https://rss.com/podcasts/journey-from-jacob/2734309) _2026-04-14_ In this episode, our Journey from Jacob expands into the family of Jacob, who has begun to be identified as Israel. But it is not pretty. One characteristic of the Hebrew Bible, mistakenly known as the Old Testament, is that God doesn’t hide the activities of His chosen, nor does he defend their poor choices. In fact, He holds them accountable, attempts to correct, rebuke, and instruct them, but… [Listen](https://content.rss.com/episodes/346239/2734309/journey-from-jacob/2026_04_14_12_03_32_50b77349-829f-40d2-87bc-bfc00d68951b.mp3) ## [Passover, Easter, or Both?](https://rss.com/podcasts/journey-from-jacob/2675987) _2026-04-01_ We do NOT want to erase history, good or bad. However there are a few holes to patch to bring clarity to an historic event. The purpose of this episode is to clear up the confusion about why Jews celebrate Passover every spring while Christians celebrate Easter. Is this how God planned the calendar? Or was God's intention to unite Jews and Gentiles instead of further dividing them as history has… [Listen](https://content.rss.com/episodes/346239/2675987/journey-from-jacob/2026_03_30_20_19_40_b46a4892-3ed2-4452-8143-8aa9ed3de5bb.mp3) ## [Missing Pieces](https://rss.com/podcasts/journey-from-jacob/2657691) _2026-03-24_ We all have missing pieces. Much of our lives are spent looking for them. Without knowing what they look like, our search can seem futile. It may sound strange, but we are created that way. God put eternity in our hearts, yet it cannot be grasped in this life without Him. We look for it in a thousand different ways as well as in people who seem to have found it. Jesus came to fill that gap. He is… [Listen](https://content.rss.com/episodes/346239/2657691/journey-from-jacob/2026_03_24_15_25_28_d959b02b-1116-46e3-a23c-d3da2442a0cb.mp3) ## [Meet Claude, the AI assistant (Sponsored)](https://crawlproof.com/a/PrSsMObGS2gH) _2026-03-24 · **Sponsored**_ Conversational AI to answer questions, brainstorm ideas, and help with tasks. ## [The Fragile Nature of the Blessing](https://rss.com/podcasts/journey-from-jacob/2633913) _2026-03-17_ The Fragile Nature of the Blessing Jacob is yet to be known by his new name, Israel. It will be centuries before Israel will be known as the Land God promised to Jacob and his descendants. It seems like God is in no rush to introduce him and his son’s as we begin to read of their episodes. Sometimes it will make us cringe that these guys are supposed be the emissaries of the blessing, when they… [Listen](https://content.rss.com/episodes/346239/2633913/journey-from-jacob/2026_03_16_18_46_49_22708a15-2a16-4280-a775-8959aa08dc30.mp3) ## [God's Eternal Purpose unfolding](https://rss.com/podcasts/journey-from-jacob/2616420) _2026-03-10_ For those who have followed our podcast, this episode is partially a recap. Our focus moving forward will be centered on the promise that God made with Abraham. He adds something into Abraham’s life into that was previously missing from his identity. Unlike Jacob, there was no wrestling match. God made Abraham a “blessing” and told him His intention was for the benefit of the world. He believed… [Listen](https://content.rss.com/episodes/346239/2616420/journey-from-jacob/2026_03_10_12_28_02_9b0df4a7-d299-4423-a630-029c3a495663.mp3) ## [Purim, Parallels, and Purpose](https://rss.com/podcasts/journey-from-jacob/2596921) _2026-03-03_ Purim, Parallels and Purpose The Feast of Purim begins at sundown tonight. It is not a well known feast outside of the Jewish world, even though the Bible devotes one book to what was intended to take place on that day but didnt. Haman, who was second to the KIng wrote an edict to kill all the Jews and plunder their goods in one day all over the world.

As followers of Jesus we have a shared identity. When Jacob crossed the Jabbok River, he was no longer to see himself as Jacob, but by the name God gave him, Israel. From that point on his journey was away from Jacob and into the Land God promised his father and grandfather, the Land of Israel. His journey will… [Listen](https://content.rss.com/episodes/346239/2575196/journey-from-jacob/2026_02_24_15_45_11_d7c59fad-f955-4fe2-bda7-7712a653803d.mp3) ## [Identity Does Matter](https://rss.com/podcasts/journey-from-jacob/2553899) _2026-02-17_ In this last Q and A session with Paul and Mikayla, the discussion leads to the outcome of our faith. Is it an endless struggle, or is it determined by how much we believe God has invested in us by means of His New Covenant? Is it just a name change, or is our entire being transformed into His likeness? Is salvation and discipleship all about making a better "me" ? Or am I here to radiate what God… [Listen](https://content.rss.com/episodes/346239/2553899/journey-from-jacob/2026_02_16_22_00_09_f3a72403-8e7e-4681-b7c8-94451018b456.mp3) ## [Back to the Basics--the one thing all Olympic champions have in common.](https://rss.com/podcasts/journey-from-jacob/2537969) _2026-02-10_ Unlike many new Christians, Mikayla continues to unpack what it means to follow Jesus wholeheartedly. Are questions permissible? Is it ok to struggle? Is struggle all that we do? Is faith just a confession? Is an experience a requirement? I fear that her questions are far too common, but rarely asked, The effect is many people are left wondering if their sins are actually forgiven. Maybe you find… [Listen](https://content.rss.com/episodes/346239/2537969/journey-from-jacob/2026_02_09_22_11_31_2018e49b-c930-4d63-930a-af6a55824fc9.mp3) ## [I’m saved. What’s next?](https://rss.com/podcasts/journey-from-jacob/2491331) _2026-02-03_ The conversation between Paul and Mikayla continues. Mikayla poses the struggle she and other Gen Z’s have faced when it comes to growing up in an experience centered theology. Paul responds with describing the story of struggle that is often overlooked in the mentality of once saved, “you’re good to go now”.

You gotta be kidding me!](https://rss.com/podcasts/journey-from-jacob/2433312) _2026-01-06_ Is it possible that God really wants us to laugh ? Doesn't He know how troubling life is? Doesn't He see how anxious I get? How lonely I feel? Of course He does. But He knows that laughter is good for the soul and a cheerful heart is like medicine. He has given us the ability to laugh.

In this episode, Abram makes a definitive declaration to the spirits of darkness that his allegiance is with God and none other. That did not make him immune to fear. It made him realize that God is His shield and exceedingly great reward.

The Lamb of God~Yeshua~was slain before the foundation of the earth.
