Deinise Spinos is a product of a Russian-Orthodox Jewish father and a German Lutheran mother, this vibrant, energetic psalmist truly is Ephesians 2:15... One New Man.
Her life is an open book as she shares her testimony. Growing up in a perfectionistic, rage-filled home, she learned early that she would never be "good enough". Hating herself, by the age of 12, she was well on her way to many years of addictive and destructive behaviors.

In constant gratitude, the joy of the Lord is her strength An exuberant, joy-filled, fervent worshipper, Denise has been given a unique gift. As God brings her through situations. He gives her songs of victory and deliverance.

Jeanne Nigro Interview
This week I had the privilege of interviewing Jeanne Nigro, a sweet woman of God. Jeanne is a frequent speaker at conferences, retreats and congregations, and her blogs are featured regularly with the Messianic Times and Messianic Jewish Alliance of America (MJAA). She is the founder of Jeanne Nigro Ministries, which seeks to transform lives around the world through a more intimate relationship with God. The ministry provides teaching and tools to enable believers to receive healing from the lies they have believed about God and themselves, so that they can experience more of His love, wisdom and power in their life.
Prior to her teaching ministry, Jeanne worked in the corporate world for seventeen years as an organizational change consultant. Jeanne and her family reside in Plano, Texas and attend both Bat Zion Messianic Congregation and Prestonwood Baptist Church. Her passion in ministry comes from the healing work that God has done in her own life and her desire to share what she has learned and experienced with others.
Whether she is bringing truths to life from Tanakh, healing strongholds of the heart or preparing believers for the Millennium, her teachings are relevant, practical and life-transforming. Jeanne propels her audiences into an excitement and readiness for Yeshua's return and fosters an experience of greater intimacy with Him. She is passionate about mobilizing the body of Messiah out of their state of fear, passivity and apathy during these uncertain times and into action and purpose. Jeanne's latest book, "Unafraid in these End Times," will be released by Destiny Image in August, 2016.
Paul Wilbur, a well-known Integrity Recording Artist, had this to say about Jeanne, "Healing of the inner man is a life mission for Jeanne Nigro. She has invested many years of research together with volumes of solid Biblical instruction to produce the life-changing teachings she now brings. I have personally attended her classes and have witnessed the eager involvement and results of hurting people. I highly recommend Jeanne and her insights to anyone desiring to walk away from the past and move into freedom".
You'll also enjoy the music of Beckah Shae, Nate Benjamin, Sue Samuel, Joel Chernoff, Marty Goetz and John Waller.

Jack Wasson Interview
Click here to listen:
A few weeks ago I received a large box in the mail filled with books -- I had no idea why or what was happening! I saw books called "Don't Call Me Christian," and noticed it was the story of Paul Liberman as told to Jack Wasson. I began reading and couldn't put it down!
Today I had the privilege to speak with Jack about his faith and his book. As noted, Jack is co-author with Rabbi Paul Liberman of the book "Don't Call Me Christian" about Rabbi Liberman's life in faith. As an author, Jack's first book was "No Rapture."
Jack Wasson has been a student of the Bible since he was a teenager. In 1972, he graduated from Southwestern Assemblies of God College, Waxahachie, Texas. In 1979, he graduated magna cum laude from the University of Texas, Arlington, with multiple bachelor's degrees that included modern European History, International Political Science and Psychology. He served in the Army as an officer in military intelligence. As an independent businessman, he has worked in real estate and oil development, construction and finance. He has been actively involved in evangelistic and missions work since 1965 and frequently travels to the Middle East.
Also enjoy some great music by Marty Goetz, Joel Chernoff, Nate Benjamin and Jeremiah.

Really Cool Music
Listen here:
Shalom! Hope you're doing well! Today's show was pretty laid back. I was grooving to the sounds of Sharon Wilbur, Joel Chernoff, Rachel Washington, Jonathan Settel, Natasha Kraus-Reynolds, Nate Benjamin and Paul Wilbur, not necessarily in that order. I have to say, when you hear wonderful praise music like this you just can't be depressed -- the words, the music, the rhythms - they all take you to a better place, where God is still on the throne and prayer changes things!
Got a sweet call from my BFF, Diane Beaudoin, and she shared how the Lord healed and strengthened her family.
Hope you will be blessed!
Every day of your life is an opportunity to be a blessing to someone!
Shalom,
Ethel

David Tokajer Interview
Click here to listen to David Tokajer interview
What a fun interview! And today you'll hear fabulous music from Jonathan Settel, Nate Benjamin, Barry & Batya Segal, Ted Pearce and Paul Wilbur.
Rabbi David is the son of Rabbi Eric and Pam Tokajer (Brit Ahm Messianic Synagogue in Pensacola, Florida). He accepted his Messiah at a very young age and has walked in relationship with Him his whole life life. He has also known that he had a calling from GOD on his life to become a rabbi since he was a child. He graduated from W.P. Davidson High School in Mobile, Alabama in May 2001. In October 2001, he married his high school sweetheart and the love of his life, Rebbitzen Danielle, daughter of Rabbi Paul and Sally Collins (Beit Israel Messianic Synagogue in Bayou La Batre, Alabama). David and Danielle both, more or less, grew up in Congregation Tree of Life, a Messianic Congregation in Mobile, Alabama where they also served as the youth leaders, and David served on the worship team. They also helped in planting Messianic Synagogues across the Gulf Coast, and Rabbi David served as the assistant rabbi at Beit Israel with Rabbi Paul for several years.
In 2004, Rabbi David and Rebbitzen Danielle moved to Nyack, New York where they attended Nyack College; David studied in the Messianic Jewish Studies program attached to Nyack College's Pastoral Ministries degree. While in New York he also served for five years under Rabbi David Rosenberg and Rabbi Matt Rosenberg (now at Restoration, A Messianic Synagogue in Seattle, Washington) at Shuvah Yisrael Messianic Synagogue in Long Island as the rabbinic intern. It was while in New York serving at Shuvah Yisrael and studying at Nyack College that both David and Danielle grew tremendously in their marriage, giftings and callings.
In January 2009, while still in New York, Danielle gave birth to their first miracle child, a beautiful daughter named Elyana Lirona (meaning "GOD has answered me, I have joy"). In May 2010 they moved to Thomasville, Georgia where Rabbi David took a position as associate rabbi at Beit Shalom Messianic Synagogue under Rabbi Robert Ackerman. In October 2010 Danielle gave birth to their second miracle child, a handsome son named Natanel Ben-Ami (meaning "gift of GOD, son of my people"). They spent a little over two years working at Beit Shalom where they saw a lot of spiritual growth, both in themselves and in the congregation, and were tremendously blessed with both phenomenal experience and training.
In June 2011 GOD called Rabbi David and Rebbitzen Danielle away from Beit Shalom and Thomasville in order to begin a new chapter in their life and ministry. In August 2011 through an already existent work out of and with the help of Brit Ahm in Pensacola, Florida, they began Congregation Mayim Chayim, "The Eastern Shore's Messianic Synagogue", in Daphne, Alabama. The synagogue is now three and a half years old and thriving, and they purchased their building in October of 2014.
David also serves as the Coordination Manager of the Editorial Department for The Messianic Times.
