What happens when someone decides a legacy is too important to let fade?

It’s a powerful reminder that courage is never just historical. Every generation has to decide what it will do with the stories it inherits.

What if the way we’ve been taught to read the Bible is missing something essential?

In this episode, Sebastiaan Van Wessem shares his journey from traditional church growth thinking into a deeper rediscovery of Scripture’s Jewish foundation. What began as personal tension turned into a theological shift that reframed everything.

At the center of that shift is a concept called restorationism - the idea that God’s plan has always been to restore Israel, the nations, and ultimately all of creation.

This conversation invites listeners to step into a bigger story - one that connects Genesis to Revelation and challenges how we understand the Gospel itself.

• The Gospel is more than personal salvation - it’s about restoration of all things
• The book of Acts reveals a pattern of restoration, not just mission strategy
• Israel’s role in Scripture is central, not optional
• Replacement theology continues to shape modern thinking
• The early believers understood the Gospel within a Jewish framework
• The “one new man” requires humility and theological recalibration
• Restoration begins now, not just in the future

Because this story isn’t just meant to be understood - it’s meant to be lived.

Why do so many people disengage from the Old Testament - especially books like Leviticus?

In this episode, Brianna Tittel shares her journey from a struggling faith to a deeper understanding of Scripture as a unified story. What began as frustration turned into discovery when she realized Jesus was reading the Bible very differently than she was.

Through that lens, even Leviticus begins to open up - not as an outdated law code, but as a central part of the Gospel story.

This conversation invites listeners to rethink assumptions, reconnect the story, and rediscover the Jewish foundation of faith.

• The Bible is one unified story, not two disconnected parts
• Jesus read the Hebrew Scriptures differently than most modern readers
• Leviticus is central, not optional, to understanding the Gospel
• The Torah is God’s instruction, not an outdated system
• Replacing or erasing leads to theological confusion
• The Church has often lost connection to its Jewish roots
• Rediscovery begins with humility and curiosity
