Afterburn | What Is the Good News? | Part 24

We recommend watching the teaching, https://youtu.be/TM3otWkrm4w, before watching this episode.

Afterburn: also known in the fitness world as the “afterburn effect.” Simply put, the more intense the exercise, the more oxygen your body consumes afterward.

This effect could occur spiritually after Rabbi Berkson’s intense teachings each week. This Afterburn Q&A session allows your mind and soul to consume more understanding (oxygen).

Some of the topics covered are:
0:00:00 Intro
0:00:13 This happened when my bubble was popped
0:06:00 Horses and being born again?
0:08:31 How does born again relate to wind?
0:12:08 What does Elohim expect?
0:18:16 To love fervently?
0:23:32 Born again – the next level of your purpose
0:27:41 Is Elohim’s protection a process like gravity?
0:30:30 Should I focus on what’s ahead?
0:35:28 Is being born again an “arrival point?”
0:40:58 Your fear of someone judging you
0:50:16 Will you stay strong during the Tribulation?
0:56:48 You’re here to work on you
0:58:22 But it feels right to me?
1:01:42 Cleansing my life through revealed truth?
1:02:55 Eyes of fire and glowing skin?
1:05:22 How would you counsel this person?
1:11:24 What do you mean by “help you”?
1:16:51 What “fathers” is Peter referring to? (1 Peter 1:18)
1:17:36 Sojourn in fear? (1 Peter 1:17)
1:18:43 The intention is this…
1:20:19 Does physical pain hinder inner growth?
1:23:55 Sprinkling of the blood of Yeshua Messiah?
1:24:52 Does depression affect belief?
