I write and speak about the Bible, the life and the message of Yeshua (Jesus) in context, the Jewish context of faith in Messiah, the practices and historical context of Torah and Temple, the land of Israel, the Hebrew Bible (Old Testament), atonement, Messianic Judaism, Judeo-Christianity, The World to Come, discipleship, and spirituality.

I make speaking appearances and teach seminars all over the U.S. I'd love to address your small group, class, conference, college chapel, church, or synagogue. See my "Speaking" page for more information.

Besides my books and blogs, my busiest educational offering is AncientBible, a series of online courses, social media pages, and speaking topics by which I make the Hebrew Bible simply and promote a love for and deep understanding of the Hebrew Bible (Old Testament). Churches and small groups invite me to give seminars on how to better understand the first 80% of the Christian Bible (the Jewish roots part which is so vital for getting the New Testament right). See the AncientBible.net site here and the Facebook page for AncientBible here.

I believe that many are drawn to the God of Israel and to Yeshua (Jesus) as Messiah, but there are many difficulties in the road of faith. One unfortunate barrier is misunderstanding between the Jews and the Christians. Another is the lack of depth in much church and synagogue life. My aim is to assist those who are connected to God, to affirm faith, to educate about ancient contexts, and to point out mystical clues to the Presence of God.
