What if returning to God isn’t about going backward—but forward? This teaching reveals that Teshuvah isn’t just repentance—it’s a return to your future self, the perfected version Hashem envisioned from the beginning. Discover how Pesach, Shavuot, and Sukkot form a prophetic timeline from deliverance to destiny—and how the sukkah represents not the past, but the world to come. Are you still living in Pharaoh’s matrix, or are you stepping into Hashem’s sukkah of glory? Join us to find out in this week’s message, Return to the Future.

What if the soil of your soul is a garden God planted with seeds of identity, purpose, and potential? Are your trees thriving—or withering? This Shabbat Shuvah invites us to take a walk with God through the inner garden of our lives, inspecting what is flourishing, what is thirsty, and what has been neglected. Discover how repentance is not just about leaving sin behind but returning to who you were always meant to be. Will you nourish the garden God has entrusted to you and allow Him to bring new growth? Join me for this timely and transformative teaching.

Why does the Torah command us to read its entirety during Sukkot, at the end of the Shemitah year? And how is this tied to the mysterious timing of the year’s renewal in Tishrei? Many dismiss Rosh Hashanah as unbiblical, but does Scripture itself reveal more than one “new year”? From Moses finishing the Torah, to the joy of harvest, to the celebration of Simchat Torah—this portion connects leadership, renewal, and joy in surprising ways. What hidden clue lies in the very first word of Genesis that points to the world’s creation? Find out in this week’s 5 Minute Torah.

What happens when life leaves you scattered—shards of yourself chipped away by sin, suffering, or regret? In this Elul teaching, Rabbi Damian shows how the High Holidays are not only about repentance before God and others, but also about repairing our own fragmented souls. Drawing from Mussar, Hasidic stories, and Psalmic prayers, he teaches us how to gather the divine sparks within us, piece by piece, as we ascend toward Rosh Hashanah and Yom Kippur. Discover how collecting your “shards” leads to restoration and wholeness in this season of return.

What kind of God would give impossible commands and then punish His people for failing them? That’s not the God of Israel. Unfortunately, many believers have been convinced that God’s Torah is impossible to keep. But this week’s Torah portion tells a different story. God’s commandments are not far away or unreachable—they are in your mouth and in your heart so you can do them. Discover how this truth exposes the enemy’s lies and empowers us to overcome limiting beliefs, live faithfully, and choose life… in this week’s 5 Minute Torah.

Am I lying down or am I willing to start the climb? In the spirit of the High Holidays, we talk about honest inspection, the role of pain, and why some people stay stuck while others step up. No shaming. Just an invitation to take the next step. Hoping this message brings the courage someone needs for their mountain.

What if your deepest pain became your loudest proclamation? In Ki Tavo, Israel brings firstfruits and declares a story—“Arami oved avi…” (Deut 26:5–8). Why does God command us to retell slavery, deliverance, and blessing? Is the Haggadah right—“An Aramean tried to destroy my father”—or “My father was a wandering Aramean”? How do both readings shape gratitude, identity, and witness today? Learn how testimony turns memory into worship—and how to speak your story so others glorify God. What has He brought you from, and who needs to hear it in this week’s 5 Minute Torah.

We’re beginning a new series for the month of Elul. I know, I know… Soul-accounting, digging into the places we’d rather leave hidden. Many of us would rather avoid inspection. It’s uncomfortable. It raises memories, regrets, and wounds. Yet God invites us into these forty days not to shame us, but to heal us. Are you excited to dig deep, to actually hold the magnifying glass up to our own hearts? This week’s message will challenge us to go beyond repeating the cycle year after year, and instead climb higher. It begins with the inspection. Join us as we start this journey of Elul together.
