Rabbi Ron Goldberg Came Back!

 If there was an award for my most frequent guest, it would be Rabbi Ron Goldberg! He is my “Frequent Flyer!”  Catch my other podcasts on this site or on iTunes. Here’s a little background:

Rabbi Ron was raised Jewish. While in High School, Ron did two things Jewish people are not supposed to do. First, he began sneaking out to church. Second, he read the "forbidden" Jewish New Testament. As a result, Ron met the Jewish Jesus. In 1985 he spent several months in deprogramming where 2 counselors tried to get Ron to reject Yeshua as Messiah. This was unsuccessful and he has spent his life helping people meet the Jewish Jesus.   

Some of Rabbi Ron’s Experience:

​

• Jews For Jesus Summer Campaign 1990

• Mentored & ordained by Jonathan Bernis.

• ‘Hear O Israel’ Outreach in Russia & India

• Led a Messianic Congregation for 16 years

• Co-host of Messianic radio show for 5 years

• Taught in churches/colleges since 1986

• Trains people in sharing the Good News with Jewish People

In this broadcast Rabbi Ron shared an update of what's happening with his family. 

Jacob Rodriguez Interview

Jacob is the congregational leader of Congregation Rebirth in North Orlando ( Longwood), Florida. He was once living in pursuit of his own desire and  Messiah Yeshua revealed His power and grace to him in 2009. He chose to follow Him, and the Lord called him up (Aliyah) to his Jewish heritage, faith, and purpose. With the help of God, while having ministerial leadership since 2010, he  achieved a BA in Business from Rollins College in 2018 and, from the IAMCS Yeshiva, a Certificate of Completion for Ordination in 2024. Lastly, he is a candidate for a Masters of Divinity from Liberty University. Rabbi Jacob’s hope is simply to grow in the grace and knowledge of our Lord and Savior Yeshua and to lead those God has called him to in remembrance of our shared Heritage in Messiah Yeshua. Jacob recently authored the book “The Unkosher Marshmallow.”

Daniah Greenberg Returns!

Daniah came to know the Lord in Rochester, New York under the leadership of Rabbi Jonathan Bernis and eventually, she and her husband Mark were sent out to lead a congregation in Syracuse, New York. The Lord let them on other adventures and they eventually ended up in Texas.  Sadly Mark passed away from vascular dementia in January, 2023.

The Greenbergs followed God on a seven year mission to fulfill the vision of providing a new Family Bible with the brand new Biblical text, the Tree of Life Version (TLV), for both Jews and Christians together to inspire families to return to God of Israel through faith in Messiah Yeshua – Jesus.

In this interview, Daniah shares her sadness at losing Mark and has a surprise announcement for us!

Kristin Wiprut Interview

Kristin and her husband Jim serve at Congregation Beth Shiloh in the Carolinas as Associate Rabbi and Rebbetzin.  Kristin was born in Southern California and raised Catholic.  She met her husband while attending college in Santa Barbara, CA.  While in Santa Barbara, Kristin found herself drawn to the New Age movement and spent the next decade in that world. In the midst of this, G-d began working significantly in her life and in the life of her husband. In 2010, feeling a calling to the Asheville area, she and her husband left their home in California and moved across country with their two young boys. Once in North Carolina, everything changed. Her husband began questioning spiritualism, religion, and New Age. He became a born-again Jewish believer in Yeshua and began praying desperately for his wife to find Yeshua again.  In August 2012, after Jim spent a full year praying for her, she gave her life again to Yeshua and became born again.  Soon after, they began attending Congregation Beth Shiloh. They began taking on active rolls in the service during their first year. Kristin taught Shabbat school Saturday mornings for the children and was spending her extra time taking on administrative rolls at Beth Shiloh. Jim felt a calling on his heart and soon began taking Yeshiva classes to become a Rabbi.Through all of this, Kristin believes that the most important ministry she has been involved in has been her family.
