In this episode of Sabbath Lounge, we sit down with Joel Batson from Walk Through The Wilderness, a talented singer-songwriter and percussionist living the Kiwi dream in New Zealand. Joel shares his incredible journey from being a normie Christian to embracing the Torah and walking in faith as a Torah follower.

We dive deep into his personal story, discuss what Shabbat looks like in his home, and explore the current state of the Torah community in New Zealand. Joel also talks about his passion for putting Scripture to song, with a unique blend of music and faith that you can discover on his YouTube channel. https://www.youtube.com/@walkthroughthewilderness608

Discover how the foundational commandments and principles in Genesis still speak to every believer today. In this Sabbath Lounge teaching, we walk through key passages in Genesis and highlight the basic instructions that Christians of all backgrounds can agree on—faith, obedience, covenant, Sabbath, and righteous living. We also explore how “Christians follow Torah – Torah Genesis Edition” connects the front of the Book to the rest of Scripture, showing how these early commandments lay the groundwork for the gospel and the life of a disciple of Yeshua/Jesus.

Whether you are new to Torah or simply want a deeper understanding of Genesis, this study will help you see the unity of Scripture and why these early commands matter for believers now. Grab your Bible, follow along, and let’s test everything together in the Word.
