EXCERPT: "Welcome to the Shuv Show. I’m your host, Christene Jackman.
You know, I’ve been thinkin’: What if, due to the pandemic, they close grocery stores? We’ll all have to start hunting for our food. Man, I don’t even KNOW where chili cheese fritos live.

I pray that all of you are keeping safe during this covid19 pandemic. I’m doing well, albeit going a little stir crazy. Working on spring planting has been engaging. I love working with nature, examining the GENIUS that is our God. What a Designer! Capital D.

Do you want to really know the heart of our Creator?
What He’s like? What He thinks about issues? What He hates? What He loves? Do you really want to know? The best place to search first is: Beresheet through Devarim (Genesis through Deuteronomy), the foundational Torah or Instructions of our God, the God of Abraham, Isaac and Israel; Our Creator, Redeemer and King.

Did you know that the very first Hebrew letter of Genesis is a bet/vet? The very last letter in Deuteronomy is a Lamed. Lamed Bet/Vet spells a word: Lev / Heart. The foundational Torah—Genesis though Deuteronomy reveals the Heart of God. But, you may say, you’re spelling Lev backwards: Bet/Vet then Lamed. Yes, it is—because you cannot know the Heart of God until you reach the end of Devarim/Deut. The Foundational Torah reveals the lifestyle of the Redeemed Community, the Terms of the Covenant, how to be holy as He is holy. To be holy, kadosh, is to be set apart. You’re not going to look, think, or act like the lawless world around you. Not if you are in Covenant with the Most High . . . "
