Gillian Mayer Interview
Today I had the privilege of interviewing Gillian Mayer. Here is her story:
******************************************************************
I grew up in a Conservative Jewish household in Coney Island, NY. I remember, very early, seeing flyers posted under the elevated train lines that said Jews For Jesus and asking my mother what those meant. She very sternly told me that those were not for us and we never discussed it again.
We weren't particularly observant, but we were Jewish! Family gathered for all holidays and there was some semblance of ritual, yet we never attended Shul. I was given the choice of Hebrew lessons or music lessons and the obvious choice for me was music. I didn't really know what being a Bat Mitzvah meant, but it sounded boring and I was going to be a musician.
My parents decided to move to Houston, TX, so off we went. Leaving our extended family behind, we also left what little observance we still enjoyed behind. We still had holiday dinners, but they weren't the same. My father refused to join any of the synagogues here because he believed that all they wanted was his money. I did manage to fall in with a Jewish crowd and assumed that I would marry a Jewish man, but when I met the man I was to marry, he wasn't Jewish.
We married and were okay until we had children. We had agreed that we would teach them everything, but something in me changed. My children were not setting foot in a church. Through a friend, we learned about a congregation where Jewish people and gentile people worshipped together. I agreed to go.
At first, I thought these people were all nuts. There was a band and dancing, but G-d knew what he was doing. I was being drawn in by the music. I found myself singing along, but when we came to "that word" I would skip it. I started reading my husband's bible and thought they were nice stories. That changed to I suppose this could be true and finally to how could this not be true. I was thirty years old when I realized that this Name that I had seen on a flyer as a child was, in fact, for me.

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.

Kyra Goldman Interview
Wow! Always fun to find a new recording artist! This young lady is going places fast!
Having grown up in a family of artists, musicians, writers and teachers, Kyra began writing stories and songs from a young age. Her unique and thoughtful style has been influenced by genres from folk/rock and jazz to bossa nova and reggae—but the greatest influence on Kyra’s music has been her relationship with The Lord.
Growing up in a Christian home, Kyra always felt a pull towards her Jewish side and to the nation of Israel. At age sixteen she began her own search for God and began reading the Bible for herself. She found that the Words were able to penetrate to the spirit and that they were life and Truth. As Kyra moved into a personal relationship with the Lord, her lyrics began to flow from a changed heart.
Since then, Kyra Goldman has gone on to accomplish some amazing things in her career. She won first place in songwriting at the Babbie Mason Music Conference; she has co-written with songwriters from the Universal Music Publishing Group in Nashville; recorded three demos; released 2 music videos and recently published her debut album, “By the Light”, which was produced by Tony Wray of the Messianic Hip-Hop duo, Hazakim.
Kyra has also been featured on television and radio programs in the US and Europe, has traveled and performed for many conferences, festivals, churches, congregations and events around the US, and has done two European tours.
