Messianic Torah Observant Israel

Using the Exodus story as a powerful metaphor, Rabbi Steve Berkson beautifully guides us through the journey from slavery to freedom. This message encourages us to believe in the possibility of change and deliverance, inspired by the Israelites’ escape from Egypt. It reminds us that real deliverance involves personal growth, not just external help. 

The focus then gently shifts to Ephesians 4:17, urging us to let go of “futility of the mind” and embrace a fresh way of thinking and living in alignment with Elohim’s will.

It also highlights how a hardened heart, filled with pride and ego, can block us from recognizing our faults and receiving forgiveness. This hardening, which often stems from a distorted view of reality and denial of truth, can foster callousness that hinders our spiritual growth. Overcoming it calls for humility, awareness of our true nature, and a willingness to shed the old ways to develop a renewed mindset inspired by Messiah Yeshua’s teachings.

We recommend listening to the teaching, Motivated by Mortality | Part 1, before listening to this episode.

Afterburn: also known in the fitness world as the “afterburn effect.” Simply put, the more intense the exercise, the more oxygen your body consumes afterward. 

This effect could occur spiritually after Rabbi Berkson's intense weekly teachings. This Afterburn Q&A session lets your mind and soul absorb more understanding (oxygen).

Some of the topics covered are:
• Planes and cars
• Do this more quickly…
• Procrastinate on procrastinating 
• Life is too short to have to put up with toxic people 
• Are you afraid to die?
• What you’ve been given is not just for you
• Looking forward to the rest/peace from physical pain
• Worry and an “evil eye”?
• You can pray for anything, but understand this…
• The return of the Messiah and physical death
• The measure of faith/belief? (Romans 12:3)
• Deliberate rest vs. laziness

Rabbi Steve Berkson emphasizes the importance of being aware of death to inspire us to make the most of our time in this life. He cites scripture after scripture showing that death has always been part of God's plan, and that the wages of sin is death, but the reward for living according to the commandments of Elohim, which are relevant today, is eternal life.
