Words From the Brothers

In this episode of Words From the Brothers, we sit down with Rabbi Dr. Mark Kinzer—Messianic Jewish theologian and founding voice behind the Lord’s Day celebration—to trace the rich history behind a practice that has shaped thousands of Christian households. Drawing from Jewish Sabbath tradition, early community life, and decades of lived experience, Rabbi Kinzer reflects on faith, identity, joy, and how worship in the home can renew the life of the Church today.

At our 2025 Christmas Retreat, our brother Dan Keating takes up an unexpected challenge: finding Christmas in the Gospel of Mark. Though Mark offers no nativity story, Dan shows how this Gospel still powerfully reveals the coming of the Son of God.

In this final Advent episode, Kenneth Carandang reflects on the Incarnation and the watchful hope found in Matthew 1 and the closing chapters of Mark. As Christmas draws near, we are invited to trust God’s promises, love as He loves, and actively wait with faith, vigilance, and joyful hope for Christ’s coming.

In this week’s Advent reflection, Andy Pettman guides us through the Gospel passages that reveal who Jesus is through his works, his glory, and his call to trust.
