Our congregation (in-person and online) is a diverse community of disciples, both Jews and those from many nations, tribes, and tongues (Revelation 7:9). And while we are a Jewish synagogue, committed to the Jewish traditions, teachings, and lifestyle exemplified by our ancestors, our vision is to practice an inclusive Messianic Judaism for All Nations; a restoration of the faith of the earliest communities of Yeshua-followers; a window into the beauty of the Messianic Era in which King Messiah will reign.","last_synced_at":"2026-07-18T00:17:22.700943+00:00","page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/shalom-macon-messianic-jewish-teachings-909539"},"episode":{"title":"Baseless Love | Choosing Compassion in a Hurting World","slug":"baseless-love-choosing-compassion-in-a-hurting-world","published_at":"2026-07-14T18:00:00+00:00","page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/shalom-macon-messianic-jewish-teachings-909539/baseless-love-choosing-compassion-in-a-hurting-world","show_page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/shalom-macon-messianic-jewish-teachings-909539","url":"https://shalom-macon.castos.com/episodes/baseless-love-choosing-compassion-in-a-hurting-world","audio_url":"https://episodes.castos.com/6501ac046a2ca7-89841118/2531650/c1e-qg76ja78p2vs6jmz4-kp5dnk2vi1-d2kow5.mp3","summary":"What if the greatest threat to God's people isn't persecution from the outside—but hatred from within? During the Three Weeks, the Jewish people remember the destruction of the Temple, a tragedy the sages connect to baseless hatred. But if hatred can destroy a people, what might baseless love be capable of building? In one of his most personal messages ever, Rabbi Damian shares the heartbreaking story of his nephew Gabriel's life-changing accident and reflects on faith, unanswered prayer, compassion, and the hope of the coming Kingdom. Through the tears, he points us to Yeshua—the One who saw suffering, wept with the broken, and never stopped bringing healing and hope. How do we trust God when tragedy strikes? What does genuine compassion actually look like? And how can followers of Messiah become people who don't simply say, \"I'll pray for you,\" but truly enter into the pain of others? This message is a heartfelt challenge to reject the poison of baseless hatred and embrace the transforming power of baseless love. If this message encourages you, please like, subscribe, and share it with someone who needs hope today. We'd also be honored to hear your prayer requests in the comments as we continue praying for Gabriel and for everyone walking through seasons of suffering.
