Ep. 47 Fortune 500 Senior Exec Comes to Torah & Did the Pilgrims Keep Torah? With Tom Bradford

[@Rowsey63]

He’s the one who got me started in being Torah observant. ❤

[@oo-mx8vi]

Me too, I have learned so much from that man!

[@trentgriffith6737]

Me too. I can't wait to thank him when I see him there....

[@wendyhallgren3595]

Thank you for having my favorite teacher on. Yah led me to him early in my new walk. I would devour his teachings. Sometimes 3 or 4 a day! It was so good, I had to have more.

[@TheLife_Podcast]

That's awesome. And you are so welcome!

[@conduit68]

I cried during this interview..... I want to be a good and humble servant more than anything I've ever wanted..... Abba remove my stoney heart and open your Your word to me.... Help me to decide on the teacher You want for me....... In Yashuahs mighty name I pray. Amen

[@oo-mx8vi]

Tom Bradford is who you want...go to KZbin and see his Torah studies, he starts at the beginning! ❤

[@chrissy.aussie]

@@conduit68 I prayed along similar lines, Yah is faithful !

[@persianprincesswaid9220]

Love Tom Bradford! His Torah classes are insightful, indepth and on point. I love that he gives cultural context which so many people miss. Would love to see more "old school" messianic believers interviewed.

[@NormaMitchell-z1b]

I've learned so much from Tom Bradford and Baruck Korman. Most reliable Bible teachers.❤❤❤

[@texaslovelylady]

They are doing well with the sheep 🐑🐑🐑 of our Master Yeshua HaMashiach.

[@TheLife_Podcast]

I’ve never heard of Korman. Will look him up.

[@CosmopolitanCornbread]

Oh, I’ve been so excited for this interview!

[@GlennJudah]

Love Tom Bradford! I can’t tell you how many of his teachings I have watched. All 96 on Matthew ! And many many more!

[@conduit68]

Try his Torah teachings from Genesis on.... You won't be disappointed... Shalom shalom

[@GlennJudah]

@ I have and will again!

[@Pursuingtorah]

@@conduit68 Loved his series on Genesis

[@-RedBeard-]

Tom mentioning YHWH’s love language being obedience really struck me. I hope I always maintain that idea. Thank you for another outstanding interview!! Yah bless you!!

[@TheLife_Podcast]

Thank you Sir! I hope that I maintain that idea as well!

[@georgeelvira551]

Tom Bradford was/is instrumental in my learning Torah. Thank you for the interview!

[@sabbathlounge]

Luke! The hits just keep coming! Tom is amazing!! Yah is amazing!!!

[@TheLife_Podcast]

Thank you guys!

[@rustybell2722]

Wish YT would implement a 1-5 thumbs up system. It's frustrating that I can only give this a one thumbs up when I want to give it at least 5. When the Spirit first began leading me on this path He led me to Torah Class. I can't tell you how valuable Tom's videos are to helping me grow. I have no Torah observant congregations in my area so praise God for the internet that I have a place to go to for answers.

[@TheLife_Podcast]

Thank you so much. That is awesome. Lol give thumbs up! Tom is the man.

[@jodadu1994]

One of the Great Bible Teachers of our time. I had the chance to visit during Shabbat service and talk to him. Approachable guy that God is using. He gave some great advice at the end of the interview.

[@Saintjohnzman]

Tom Bradford is awesome! Thanks so much for having him on!

[@s.d.5575]

Oh Yay!!! I love Tom - he's been instrumental in re-learning scripture for my husband and I. I'm so excited to hear this video

[@TheLife_Podcast]

Hope you enjoy it!

[@waytruthlight3350]

My husband and I came to the realization of the Torah's continuing relevance about 5 years ago. And he discovered Torah Class and Tom's teachings. And I just cannot even describe how vital this has been to our growth in this movement. I thank YHVH all the time for this ministry and pray that it continues to help others, as it has helped us.

[@alanamorgan6806]

Brilliant! Bravo! HallleluYah! Amein! Thank you Tom Bradford for your obedience to YAH and sharing your direction from HIM with us. 🙏💜🙏. Thank you also to The Life Podcast for this excellent interview 🙏

[@shabbatsongs4801]

Hooray…Tom Bradford is my Torah OG for sure…been listening to His teachings for over 10 years now…🙏

[@Pgarcia468]

Mr. Bradford you’re my biblical mentor and theological Blessing ! Thank you ! 😢😢❤❤

[@kimb.4345]

I love this podcast. Tom has played a pivotal role in my growth of becoming a whole Bible believer and the Torah's relevance. Thank you so much. YAH bless you both as you continue teaching in the Truth!

[@Pursuingtorah]

Tom was a foundation in Torah for me. I am so thankful for his ministry and his humble personality. I am sorry to hear his wife passed. Tom, may YHVH bless you all of your days.

[@juliesmith8674]

Best Torah class ever! Thank you, Tom Bradford. Your indepth biblical teachings they have changed my life forever ❤

[@deej4527]

I love TB! The HS used TB to open my eyes to SO much! I am so so so grateful!

[@TheLife_Podcast]

TY! Lol

[@HAChrist]

Shalom, thank you for your commitment Luke to make these interviews possible, with the assistance of your lovely wife. Blessings be upon you both and to your family!

[@TheLife_Podcast]

Thank you! It’s our pleasure.

[@matt8578]

I love this guy. I've seen him a few times at the Love Israel conference in Orlando but haven't had a chance to introduce myself to him. He has that demeanor that's calming and easy to listen to. He's the kind of guy that I could send a link to a video without having hardly any triggers that would make my Baptist friends fall on the floor.

[@mitzvah7061]

wow! i am so happy to see him here. He is my Teacher with whom i started this journey five years ago.and continuously learing from him.

[@TheLife_Podcast]

That’s awesome.

[@gwenscamardo2245]

Thank you so much for interviewing Mr. Bradford. For three years me and a group of ladies have met on Monday mornings to study Torah and go through Tom’s Torah Classes. Also, thank you Luke for your channel and Podcast. Such a blessing.

[@sebpense7584]

I too have learned so much from Tom Bradford’s teaching. Thank you for this interview that has given such a broad overview and history in so many ways

[@linak7155]

I've listened to Tom Bradford in the past, such an interesting, studious fellar. He is one of the mature ones in the faith. There's depth to His teaching . He asked what should we call ourselves in this messi movement... When we lived in Alaska, we called ourselves the 'frozen chosen' lol! 🥶A torah teacher I deeply admire says, "In Messiah." My husband prefers, 'Israel'. Then there's Of the Way, Followers of Yeshua... It's all good.

[@shabbatsongs4801]

Tom Bradford once said the we are the “cult of the Bible readers.”..I agree…🙏

[@linak7155]

@shabbatsongs4801, I like that too! 📖 🤲 In it are the words of Life

[@danielleshafer7527]

I’m so thankful for Tom. I found Torah Class five years ago and my life has never been the same. Praise God for leading me to Tom and his teachings.

[@LorrieBell-p3e]

We’ve watched and followed Mr Bradford through the Torah with the Written Manuals / Study Guide IT WAS A GREAT STUDY .. Learned so much background .. adding to Other Hebraic Teaching over 9+ years .. Thank you Mr Bradford..

[@AdamPlayFarms]

Tom is a great teacher, brings the bible alive, and stays on point. So many youtube teachers try to shock and awe you to get attention and sound smart.

[@walkingintruth7936]

So thankful for this channel and the exposure you offer to the many men and women who are seeking to follow Yah with all of their hearts! It is so encouraging!

[@deej4527]

[@CRRBennett]

This was so good! I've been watching Torah class this year going through Genesis. It has been so eye opening!!! So many wonderful points made. Thank you

[@s.d.5575]

My husband and I too!! We have about 3 chapters left of Genesis. Absolutely amazing teachings. I love his low key, usually non emotional way of teaching--- just the facts!

[@timsivils8446]

LOVE his verse-by-verse approach in Torah Class! 💙

[@deborahcollins9623]

I love to watch and hear Tom Bradford teach the Torah. I have been a Jesus follower since I was baptized at 12. My daughter converted to Judaism after her dad passed away in 2014, and that is when I had to learn what she turned to. I have learned so much and have been so sad that the church I went to did not Teach me the Bible. They taught me what they decided I and we needed. I now Torah observant Shabbat, feasts, etc and watch Rabbi Greg at Beth Yeshua Int. in Macon Ga. And Seed of Abraham. Also have learned quite alot from my daughter. Love Torah Sisters magazine. Of course, Life Podcast

[@tsehelbenyosef2503]

Toda rabba again Luke and Kayte for another excellent interview. I enjoyed hearing what Tom Bradford had to say. He and I seem to have had many similar things that have happened in our lives including my first "Jewish New Testament". As soon as the "Complete Jewish New Testament" came out, I was right on board and ordered it. My original is all duck taped up to hold it together. I've since, back in 2001, decided to study the Hebrew language when I bought a Stone Edition Tanach with Hebrew written on the right pages and an English translation written on the left. This all happened while I lived in the wilderness of Alaska so we seemed to have had similar experiences form different USA locales. The Master יהוה Elohim also gave me a love for the Jewish people and an intense desire to visit the Land of Israel. When I heard, in this interview, that he mentioned Joseph Shulam several times, I too had an experience with Joseph Shulam. I have a friend who works for Mr Shulam in Jerusalem who had asked me if I would be interested in writing a story about one of several topics she gave me for their magazine. I, of course, said, "Yes!" and wrote a story entitled, "An Ephraimite In Jerusalem".

Just ripped out my white page. It looks and flows so much better now. Thanks for pointing that out. I also then went and ripped out the first white page at the beginning that said Old Testament. It is all one testament, all spoke by and about our Lord and Saviour.

[@mommybear8672]

Fantastic interview. Shared with loved ones & praying they have ears to hear. 🙏🙌❤️

[@jspyrogram]

calmness, education and same searching is what I love about listening to Tom. He addresses from the Bible exactly what I'm searching for. Not opinion, but Word.

[@SueHein-b4f]

Such an amazing teaching! It was to short...lol..i love listening to Tom!

[@yvonnepratt5091]

I love listening to this. Our fellowship in Australia has been using Tom's studies for over 14 yrs. I am currently reading his study on Zechariah. We've been so blessed through Tom's research, faith & dedication. Thank you for conducting this interview.

[@Big_Daddy_Don]

Luke thanks again for yet another great interview! It is good to get the story behind the story. Thank you Tom for letting YHVH lead you in your life.

[@chrissy.aussie]

Seems every Life Podcast is the best one; or the right one for now! And thank you for the 'Torah Sisters' subscription reminder. Two ordered for a neighbour/believer and myself, in Australia.

[@DaisyB-w7y]

Torah Class and Tom Bradford have been so enlightening to me. Thank you for having him on.😊

[@larryandrews7748]

Tom Bradford is my mentor and teacher through KZbin. I can really say his teachings convinced me to come to "The Way" Torah life. I was a preacher and Sunday school teacher at a big Pentecostal church, and on the board. I don't know if he realizes the lives he has changed in bringing us to the truth. I thank YHVH for him.

[@TheLife_Podcast]

Wow. That is an awesome testimony.

[@hectorrodriguez-ex9jl]

Modern Day Apostle Paul. Love this man! He has helped me learn alot!

[@texaslovelylady]

Shabbat Shalom first time tuning in. Tom Bradford praise YeHoVaH ✨👑✨💖

[@sherryhawks3177]

This is the first time I have heard Tom...excellent interview. His story is amazing.

[@shabbatsongs4801]

Search for Torah Class and Tom Bradford and you’ll get more than you can absorb…I haven’t seen every teaching and I’ve been following him since 2015…🙏

[@kkornhaus]

42 minutes in and I agree. We never wanted to be labeled any of the names out there because they didn't really apply to us anyways. We just say we are followers of Yahushua. "Do as He did". We didn't want to just trade one religion (Christianity) for another (Judaism).

[@oldvintageflavor]

I am so grateful of Tom’s teaching. As regards to Paul I feel when he seems to go against the Torah, he is speaking against the rules and rules that the Pharisees made up. Paul always said to keep the Torah

[@clayharvey5829]

Thank you for this very common sense conversation.

[@FaithandActiondotnet]

Great conversation, thx. Luke, you're getting good at asking the right questions regarding the Torah Covenant vs modern Christianity!

[@tammypage7388]

Excellent interview I truly enjoyed it all Shalom & Blessings

[@JohnRobinson-qo7qb]

This is a great interview. Thank you guys for sharing this.

[@TheLife_Podcast]

Our pleasure! Glad you like it!

[@OkTxSheepLady]

Tom’s experience is so parallel to what happened to my husband and me about 25 years ago. Normally a Sunday school class in a Southern Baptist church starts off with ten to fifteen people for a Sunday or two then interest wains and the class shrinks to the eight faithful folks. When a man in the congregation started a “Hebrew Roots of the Christian Faith” class there were maybe 15 people the first day. But rather than shrink the class grew at about 25% each week. Soon we were meeting in the fellowship hall, the largest room other than the sanctuary. And there soon were people from outside the congregation. The pastor became jealous and some members of the congregation complained about “nonmembers using our resources”! They failed to realize the true “ownership” of the buildings is YHVH. Unlike Tom’s congregation the one we were in fractured as the crazy people interested in Torah were rather ungraciously asked to leave though we didn’t in any way attempt to cause division.

[@bethelshiloh]

One of my favorite teachers. I refuse to call myself part of the Hebrew Roots Movement. It is a term that most likely gives the wrong impression that may not define my Torah belief. As in every movement, it has its kooks. TB is solid.

[@BiblersWayCottage]

We are Israel 39 minutes :) shabbat shalom brethren Praise Yah

[@BiblersWayCottage]

No way!

[@DavidFardenJr]

Niiice. Really enjoy Tom Bradford's teachings. Been worried about him lately for I was in the middle of the 3 books he was posting on from his Torah Class KZbin channel and then all of a sudden they just stopped being posted. Was this interview recent????

[@TheLife_Podcast]

Hi there! Yes it was relatively recent. A month ago. He's doing well! I'm sure they will continue updating.

[@DavidFardenJr]

@@TheLife_Podcast Amein. Thank you. I have really worried.

[@conduit68]

The. Herminutical approach to reading the Bible to start, is translating it back into it original Hebrew and Greek..... Start there. Shalom shalom

[@janecapps5938]

I encourage folks to purchase a CJB version of the Bible.

[@amystewart1433]

❤❤❤❤

[@jeanboshears6689]

I’ve been leaning this way for 35 years. but I’ve had to leave some Torah groups that were a bit extreme; Bringing in a lot of Jewish traditions, rituals and added teachings. I have heard Tom before and found him easy easy to understand. I wasn’t looking for this channel but how timely it is since my sister just sent us a text saying she had found an old letter from my brother 25 years ago saying he had found an interesting book on the Hebrew Christianity. He has since passed so I can’t ask him about that book. It’s possible it was just a study on the book of Hebrews.

[@bethelshiloh]

Some Jewish customs we should be cautious about.

[@therealmtsinai]

[@bmjjjja]

You guys are continuously ridiculous! Feasts CANNOT be celebrated in this diaspora just like they couldn't in the previous diaspora. That's why YAH said, "they cease!" Why are you ignoring the Bible? Likewise, there is no comparison to any holiday we want to celebrate (Rom 14) or man has invented (Hanukkah and Purim) to the feasts. No one said to Mordechai, "choose between your pagan invented man-made holiday or Yah's feasts" because it's not a choice. It's apples and oranges. Feasts are not like any other celebration nor can the instructions be nullified. They MUST be celebrated one place on Earth and require the Aaronic priesthood to be functioning. Conversely, the blessings Yah gives us to celebrate also cannot be condemned by you just as we are told by Paul. Solomon tells us to be celebratory of all blessings of Yah. Man doesn't get to put his stamp of "pagan" on any celebration we want to commemorate. Even the angelic realm prophecied that we would celebrate Yeshua's birth henceforth. And don't forget, most of Israel ignored it. Now ask yourself why Yah did not deliver their sons from the murderous edict after they ignored His Son? He sat as JUDGE that day and something made Him very angry to allow the sons of His people to be slaughtered. I think it's a no-brainer. Yet you guys are so blind. You say you haven't picked up the mantle of Judaism when finding Torah but indeed you have. You mimic their sin; the sin of Jeroboam. Finding Torah would mean you don't celebrate a feast outside of the land, without a functioning temple/priesthood and you don't tell people to ignore Yah's words in favor of your group's instructions.

[@DavidFardenJr]

Yeah, if you think so. We may not be on the right schedule as we are a messed up bunch but YAH looks upon our hearts and Isaiah even mentions those that have kept the Shabbat and feasts. Its all from our hearts as we love Yah. Don't be so quick to judge cause I can show scripture showing Yeshua kept feasts, Apostles kept feasts and at that time the calendar was already changed twice and yet Yeshua gave himself up on the Passover of a messed up Calendar. Yah meets us where we are. Shalom to you.

[@bmjjjja]

@@DavidFardenJr Of course they kept feasts, they had a temple and functioning levitical system which are both required. Now tell me about when Israel was vomited from the land and carried off to Babylon as we are. Hebrews 9:1-5, Hebrews 2:11. Did they keep feasts outside of the land "because they are a messed up bunch but Yah looked upon their hearts"? Of course not! It's just silly to ignore Yah's instructions and claim "He looks at my heart" all while breaking His law. This is what Jeroboam did. He kept the feasts elsewhere at a time not determined by Aaron's line and the people followed him in this sin. ALL OF THEM WERE DESTROYED FOR IT. Hebrew roots is simply hitching their wagon to judaism who are also sinning. "Judge with righteous judgment"

[@CL-mn1yq]

Can you time-stamp where these men said feasts can be performed like they were originally?

[@CRRBennett]

We can agree to disagree agreeably . If you disagree, you do not have to watch.

[@HAChrist]

@bmjjjja yes, they may be celebrated if done with love. The reason they are not for you is because you do not have His Love in your heart. It's a heart issue; therefore, repent! You've lost your first love, don't take it out on us, get right with Him. The Aaronic priesthood is only for the sacrificial side of the feasts which was a separate covenant at Mt. Sinai; therefore, anyone can celebrate the feasts without the covenant of Levy. This is your rule not Elohim's and is legalism. What sect of Christianity are you learning this from, since it's not from the Holy Spirit?
