It’s time to release our own unique study of the Old Testament!! Erika is going to unpack, put up shelves, and then fill those shelves so you can understand the Old Testament in way that the original reader (or hearer) understood. Understanding the Old Testament better will help the New Testament come alive with more color and meaning than you realized was in there. In this episode she lays the foundation and puts up 3 big shelves – Torah, Nevi’im, and Ketuvim. Over the next few weeks she will explain what goes on those shelves, which as a group are called the Tanak. Erika mentioned The Apocalyptic Gospel podcast in this episode. We are just beginning to explore and listen to those episodes.
In the last episode Erika gave us three shelves to help us understand the Old Testament.
In this episode we she’s going help us understand the Torah, the first five books of Moses. She is going to show us how those books answer some big questions that have been around since the beginning of time as well as remind us what the end goal is for all people.
If you haven’t listened to our Exodus study, that’s episodes #43-59. It’s worth listening to if you want to add brilliant colors to the stories in there.
Last episode Erika gave us a broad picture to understand the Torah – the first five books of the Bible. In this episode she’s going to give us a broad picture of the prophets, the Nevi’im. She’s going to show what questions the former and latter prophets answer as well as show they point to the hope of what’s to come.
Erika has walked us through the Torah, the Nevi’im so in this podcast she walks us through the Ketuvim. The big question these books answer is how do I walk out my faith while waiting for God’s promises and blessings to come true?
Erika built the large shelves we needed to understand the Old Testament. Now in this episode, Erika is going to summarize the first five books of the Old Testament, the Torah, as well as the former prophets.

Erika talked about two covenants last episode. This week she’s unpacking the Mosaic and the Levitical covenant. The Mosaic covenant is mentioned in Exodus 19, 24, 31, Deuteronomy 28, and Jeremiah 31. The Levitical covenant is found in Numbers 25.
This is the last episode of our spotlight on covenants. Erika is digging into the Davidic and the New covenant this week. The Davidic covenant is found in 2 Samuel 7, 1 Chronicles 17, and Jeremiah 33 and the New Covenant can be found in Deuteronomy 30, Jeremiah 31, and Ezekiel 36. Our Davidic covenant is episode #11. Erika also referenced the Apocalyptic Gospel podcast.
In the next three episodes we are going to be building a dictionary to go along with our study. When the Hebrew words were translated into English we lost some of the richness and depth behind those English words. In this episode Erika is going to teach us about the word holy, kadosh in Hebrew.
