In this episode, we will discuss the meaning, history, and controversy surrounding the use of Hebrew names for the Father and Son, including the heart behind why I choose to use the names “Yahuah” for the Father and “Yahusha” for the Son. We will explore how ancient Hebrew was written without vowels, how historical events like the Babylonian exile and later scribal traditions influenced pronunciation and translation, and how titles like “Lord” and “God” came to replace the personal Name in many Bible translations, which has deeply influenced our understanding today.

We will also examine historical evidence from the Dead Sea Scrolls and early Greek manuscript fragments, which show that the Father’s Name was preserved long after the biblical period. We will discuss the difference between misusing the Name versus using it, the cultural and prophetic significance of names in Hebrew thought, and why heart posture matters more than perfect pronunciation.

Lastly, we will address the common “cult” accusations associated with using Hebrew names, clarifying what actually defines a cult and encouraging listeners to approach the topic with humility and love. The episode truly emphasizes the “weightier matter”: honoring the Father not just with our words, but how we live.

Welcome to the first episode of Season 5 on The Promise Perspective Podcast!

This episode marks a shift in how we approach the gospel—and how we read the Scriptures as a whole.

Rather than beginning with conclusions, this conversation/episode/podcast season invites you to slow down and reconsider the foundations: how the Hebrew Scriptures, the words of the prophets, and the testimony of Messiah all belong to one unified story moving toward fulfillment.

In this episode, we will discuss:

• What Scripture actually means when it says “according to the Scriptures”
• Why Messiah said Moses wrote about Him
• How the priesthood, sacrifices, and Torah functioned as shadows
• What it truly means for Messiah to fulfill rather than abolish
• And why misunderstanding the word “fulfillment” has created confusion on both extremes

This season is not about reviving old systems OR dismissing them—it’s about clarity. It’s about learning how to honor what was given without returning to what has already reached its intended purpose.

If you’ve ever felt tension between obedience and grace…If you’ve wondered why some commandments are no longer practiced physically…If you’ve sensed that the gospel is richer and more layered than what you’ve heard or been taught…

Episode 1 is your invitation to join me in a brand new season, in which we will spend time reasoning through the Scriptures the way the apostles did—allowing Messiah to be revealed, not assumed.

The shadows were real. The substance is greater. And we are being called to live in that reality.

HalleluYAH!!

This episode/video is the foundation for everything moving forward on The Promise Perspective Podcast.

Season 5 is titled “A Royal Priesthood: From Shadows to Reality,” and this introduction is meant to set the lens through which all future episodes—and even my social media posts—are meant to be understood.

If you’ve ever come across something I’ve shared and wondered “Where is she going with this?” or “What’s the purpose here?”—this episode answers that.

In this introduction as well as Season 5 - Episode 1, I will share:

• Why the gospel is bigger than we’re often taught
• Why the New Testament cannot be understood without the Hebrew Scriptures
• What it truly means for Messiah to fulfill the Law and the Prophets
• How shadows like the priesthood, sacrifices, tabernacle and appointed times point to Yahusha
• And the questions that need to be asked so that we as a body, can understand what it means for us today to live as a royal priesthood in the fullness OF that revelation

This season on my podcast isn’t about returning to rituals and sacrifices—it’s about understanding the gospel. It’s about seeing Messiah revealed from Genesis to Revelation and learning how to walk in the reality of what the “shadows” in Scripture were always pointing toward.

If you’re new here, welcome to my page! This is your starting point.

If you’ve been walking with me for a while, this is the foundation we’ll be building on moving forward.

I pray that this podcast season is a blessing to you. Here’s to learning, walking and growing together.

“Go therefore and make disciples of all nations…”
Matthew 28:19
