This is perhaps one of the most important, most blunt, most twisted, and certainly – now, particularly – one of most utterly relevant Torah parashot in the Book.

Join Mark Call of Shabbat Shalom Mesa fellowship for a provocative two-part look at parsha Ki Tisa, Exodus 30:11 through chapter 34.

The Erev Shabbat reading starts with the command to take a head count, and how, and then continues through the infamous betrayal of the ‘golden calf’ — first of many, as it turns out — and the aftermath:

How often do we hear a...

Special guest Daniel Holdings – long familiar to HNR listeners – joins Mark again for a rip-roaring discussion of where we are and where we’re headed, from war to AI, and even ‘Alien Intelligence,’ in what looks like a Convergence.

Join Mark Call of Shabbat Shalom Mesa fellowship for a provocative two-part look at parsha Terzaveh, Exodus 27:20-30:10.

The Erev Shabbat reading gives the details, of which there are many:

The impressive level of detail is this description is certainly again one of the most memorable aspects of this parsha.

And yet, as Mark reminds us in the Sabbath day midrash, one more time, there is “no idle word” in His Torah.

But THIS time, we need to “Compare and Contrast.”

...

There is no doubt that events are “accelerating” toward some sort of climax. And it’s happening on a number of fronts – economic, political, legal, and even international war.

Is “complete collapse” at hand? Or just inevitable, on at least one of those fronts?

Lots of things COULD happen. And we know what WILL happen. Just not necessarily when. But we can put all of that together.

And there are some very definite events and likelihoods that we need to understand.

This week’s Torah portion from the annual cycle is a major ‘shift’ from the mainline story of the Exodus. After Moses heads up the mountain, for forty days and forty nights, the focus is now on getting ready to build something.

And why? Why now? It’s almost like He knows something, before we get to that part of the story. It turns out, there’s even more to it than that.

David Justice and Mark Call recap the major new events of the week, and some of the disappointing failures, and outright betrayals.

One of them begs the question, if the corrupt Brits can finally even arrest a Royal, why can’t the US manage to arrest at least a few outright traitors?

And if the US is willing to go to war in Iran halfway around the world, and risk a nuclear confrontation, to “overthrow the ayatollahs” — why can’t at least take down the ones running the swamp here?

The Epstein files are forcing at least a few people with “eyes to see” to recognize that there is a level of Evil that goes FAR beyond what most Americans are willing to admit.

But it’s nothing new.

And yet what is really difficult for even those who recognize that Evil to acknowledge is that the real issue hits still closer to home.

Join Mark Call of Shabbat Shalom Mesa fellowship for a provocative two-part look at what he claims is one of the most fascinating Torah portions in the whole Book, not only because of the variety of topics it covers, but the fact that they are so, let’s face it, HATED by much of society. Not only are they NOT ‘politically-correct,’ but the fact that so many of them ARE so rejected, he argues, helps explain why the “social justice-loving,” humanistic, Progressive Pagan system that has replaced His Word is such an UTTER, undeniable, even Satanic, MESS.

This week Mark welcomes special guest Sam Andrews to the show for the first time. Sam has an amazing background and skill set, having worked as a strategic planner for the Department of War, and served his country overseas “out of uniform” as a contractor, then having worked as an engineer and expert in the design of firearms and ammunition, and doing training as well, for various agencies. He continues to do that now via his own business, Freedom Center USA, in Lebanon, Missouri, and in addition has expertise in health, which he applies to his wife’s business sellin...

When the ‘mixed multitude’ comes to Mount Sinai it is clear that another major milestone is at hand, and — as we know it will emerge — another turning point has been reached. But this is set up by several major events documented by this week’s parsha (Yitro, Exodus chapters 18 through 20).

Moses’ father-in-law, Yitro (as he is called in this part of Scripture) hears a part of the story, comes to the wilderness, and brings Moshe back his wife, Zipporah, and his two sons. There he hears the “rest of the story,” recognizes YHVH himself, and offers sage advice. In that...
