Misha Goetz Returns!

What a sweet woman of God!  Here's some info about Misha:

For over a decade Misha has dedicated her life to the art of music and the ministry of worship. 

Growing up as the only child to modern day psalmist Marty Goetz and his wife Jennifer, Misha’s earliest memories formed in Nashville behind the piano where she composed her first recorded song at the age of eight. “As a Messianic Jew, my dream is to unite Christian and Jew in worship of the Holy One of Israel,” says Misha. Her style of worship builds upon decades of her father’s ministry and yet incorporates her own youthful style and anointing. 

Her first full-length album, Weight of Glory, was released summer 2013 to critical acclaim with the help of a successful Kickstarter campaign. Her debut album is a blend of Messianic and Christian worship styles with most of the songs written and produced by Misha herself.  

Above all, Misha’s desire is that her music would penetrate to the heart and usher people into the presence of the Lord. Her heart is to see a generation touched and transformed through surrender in worship. "I love to worship, and it is my greatest joy to see people blessed and changed, the way I am changed in His presence," says Misha. 

Misha's newest CDis "A Time for Everything." Before that she and her father Marty produced a full-length DVD and CD titled Marty Goetz & Misha: LIVE from Jerusalem. It was filmed and recorded in Israel, overlooking the Old City of Jerusalem with a 26-piece orchestra. 

Currently, Misha resides outside of Washington, D.C. with her husband, Joshua, their six-year-old son, Caleb, and their one-year-old, Samuel.

Grant Berry Interview #2

What a thrill to have Grant Berry back on Bagels and Blessings!   We talked about his new book, "The Ezekiel Generation" and I played lots of wonderful music.   Since it's Valentine's Day weekend I reminded you that God loves you very much and we should also be thinking about how we show God we love Him.   We heard wonderful music by Jonathan Settel, Sally Klein O'Connor, Sharon Wilbur, Marty Goetz, Misha Goetz, Paul Wilbur and the Schleps. 

As a reminder, Grant Berry is a Jewish believer in Yeshua, Jesus the Messiah. For most of His spiritual life, he has been both an entrepreneur and a minister of the Gospel. He founded and built three cosmetic companies as well as a number of ministries focused on reaching Jewish people.

He has founded Messiah's House and Reconnecting Ministries to "properly communicate a message of spiritual reconnection between Israel and the Church." It's a subject he knows well as a Messianic Jew whose own life story is one of such reconnection. Grant believes that in this day, there is great power to be loosed upon both Israel and the Church, as G-d's spiritual family between Jew and Gentile gets connected. View his monthly articles on Charismamag.com under Standing With Israel.  His latest book, "The Ezekiel Generation", was lauched in October.  It was written for the Church to help them reconnect to their first born brother Israel in the Spirit.
