Does the Old Testament Feel Hard to Understand? Start Here | Tammy Priest

Leviticus. Exodus. Deuteronomy. What if these books became a source of wonder and worship instead of frustration and confusion?

In this episode of the Coffee and Bible Time Podcast, Ellen sits down with Tammy Priest, an author, teacher, and Jewish follower of Jesus, to hear how discovering the connections between her Jewish heritage and Jesus transformed her understanding of Scripture. 

Tammy shares her powerful testimony and explains how understanding the Jewish context of the Bible can deepen our appreciation for God’s Word and His plan of redemption.

In this episode, we discuss:

• Tammy’s journey to faith in Jesus and the impact on her family relationships
• How the Jewish context of Scripture helps us understand Jesus’ words and actions
• The deeper meaning of the Jewish feasts, including Yom Kippur and Shavuot
• The connection between Pentecost, the Holy Spirit, and God’s covenant
• Practical encouragement for reading the Bible more thoughtfully and seeing Jesus throughout Scripture
