  • Scribbles and Scriptures: Books That Restore True Names of YHWH with Brittani Ramirez

    Scribbles and Scriptures: Books That Restore True Names of YHWH with Brittani Ramirez
    Mar 5 2025
    Hi Welcome to Grafted: Jewish Roots of Christianity! Brittani Ramirez is my guest today. Brittani Ramirez is the heart and soul behind Scribbles and Scriptures, a whole Bible-believing Christian family dedicated to creating and sharing books that honor the true names of Elohim and the Messiah. In a world where mainstream Christian literature often omits these sacred names, Brittani and her family strive to restore them to their rightful place in hearts and teachings. While the Torah-led believers community embraces a variety of names, they frequently use "Yah" to encompass diverse beliefs in many of their works. At Scribbles and Scriptures, Brittani’s journey is one of continuous learning and growth in love for YHWH. Her mission is to provide families with wholesome, truth-filled books that they can cherish and add to their libraries. Covering a wide range of topics—from prayers and being set-apart believers to the significance of the rainbow, biblical feasts, and mainstream holidays—Brittani seeks to instill truth without adhering to man-made doctrines. With a focus on avoiding traditions rooted in human customs, Brittani emphasizes the importance of teaching children to anchor themselves in the Word and in prayer. Above all, her aim is to nurture a deep, personal relationship with YHWH through the books she creates. Brittani is a proud mother of five wonderful children and a devoted follower of YHWH. When she's not managing sibling squabbles or scrubbing the kitchen, Brittani can be found hunched over her keyboard, pouring her heart into her writing. She writes not only because it brings her joy but also because she feels a deep calling to share the beauty and challenges of her spiritual journey. Through her words, Brittani invites others to join her in exploring faith, family, and the joys and trials of living a Torah-observant Christian life. Practicing the Way: Be with Jesus. Become like him. Do as he did.

  • The Hebrew Roots of Spiritual Armor with Jessica Knock – Part 2

    The Hebrew Roots of Spiritual Armor with Jessica Knock – Part 2
    Feb 19 2025
     Jessica says: "Spiritual warfare and prayer is about discernment. This is an important tool and character of prayer that we need to be walking in and using all the time. The word armor in Hebrew sounds like the word Sharon. It's spelled S H R I O N. And again, that's meaning to protect, to make secure... The Aramaic to that, is a word called Zanga, Z A N G A H, and that's not just referring to armor, but it's referring to military might, military equipment." Welcome to Grafted: Jewish Roots of Christianity! My guest is Jessica Knock. Jessica Knock is a passionate co-founder and seasoned leader in both ministry and broadcasting. Alongside her late husband, Shane Knock, she dedicated over 40 years of service as an itinerant preacher and missionary. Together, they pioneered several impactful projects, most notably co-launching the Hollywood Classics Network on the Sky Television platform in Europe and the UK. This groundbreaking initiative marked the first-ever faith-based movie, comedy, and family channel, blending silver screen favorites with Christian content and ministry programming, designed to evangelize the Gospel across the airwaves. In 2020, Jessica took her wealth of ministry and broadcasting experience to new heights by founding EWHAL, Eatin Wild Honey and Locust, an online Torah-based teaching ministry. With a heart for shepherding and equipping the Body of Christ, she has made it her mission to bring a Hebraic understanding of Scripture to believers in today’s world—particularly in these prophetic times.

Her work continues to inspire and empower believers to walk out their faith with a deep, rooted understanding of the Word of God.

    Welcome to Grafted: Jewish Roots of Christianity! My guest is author, writer, and speaker Terry Murphy. We talked about the wedding betrothal in Scripture, picking up your cross, and the Feast of the Lord as well as her book, A Place for Me in God's Tent. Terry Murphy is a writer and speaker who is passionate about uncovering the clues of God’s presence and wisdom in both His Word and creation. She is dedicated to helping others grow in their wonder, appreciation, and understanding of God, believing that by discovering fresh ways to approach Scripture together, we can all expand our ability to apply and share the truths we learn. When she isn’t writing or speaking, Terry mentors fellow writers through Word Weavers International, a community where writers can network, form critique groups, and refine their communication skills. Outside of her professional work, Terry finds joy in tending to her garden, a personal reward after finishing her writing. If you happen to visit her home, be prepared for a lively atmosphere—especially if her grandchildren are around! However, even if the noise makes conversation tricky, you’re sure to be entertained. If Terry isn’t available to chat, she may be out hiking with her husband in one of the nearby nature preserves, but don’t hesitate to leave a note, and she’ll get back to you as soon as she can.
