Episode 165 - The Forgotten Gospel (featuring Brianna Tittel)
Helping Christians make sense of their roots. Helping the Jewish community make sense of Jesus. Together, we are restoring the Jewishness of the gospel.
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Through that lens, even Leviticus begins to open up - not as an outdated law code, but as a central part of the Gospel story.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.
