What this episode covers

Join us as we explore the origins of Kabbalah, its place in Jewish history, and its connection to the rise of modern anti-Semitism. What exactly is Kabbalah, and how is it connected to both Judaism and mysticism? Can a deeper understanding of anti-Semitism throughout Christian history help explain why so many individuals are drawn to the practice of Kabbalah? Tune in to find out! Our guests are Brian Crawford, author of The Scandal of a Divine Messiah, and returning guest Will Spencer.

Crooked Little Girl Crooked Little Girl I spent my first 40 years in the cultish Evangelical world, picking up many layers of cPTSD from family, religion and marriage. I’m rebuilding a new life as a single mom of five kids who has stopped homeschooling. Single moms usually work, but in 2020 Long Covid gave me brain injuries and nervous system damage, which means I lost the entry level jobs I attempted to work. This is a glimpse of my journey in leaving Evangelical Land and its magical, mystical promises. I’ve learned the hard way that God doesn’t pay your loans or stop domestic violence even if you make a covenant with Him.
