Restoring Grace David Fournier

You are the sons and daughters of God-Master of the Universe-The Creator-The Light Source-all the ways we can think and explain Him. God makes the claim that He delights in you and wants to hear and connect with you.  Some of our behaviors in our churches and faith practice reflect the idea that God is a great distance off-and must somehow be conjured up into our presence.  Well, that is simply not true. Join Lead Instructor David Fournier from the Centre for Hebraic Insights as he continues his teaching series on the Zohar in 15 series.  

Israel went through exile-captivity-ups and downs-as God secured His promises to bring them to the Holy Land-the rightful land of the People of Israel.Their example of grit and determination is given to us as a resounding proof of God's love-how He never changes.  Our episode today covers exile and the different types of consciousness of the people during exile. As God never once turned His back on the People of Israel-He will always honor His promises to us as we do the work-the hard work-of transformation at our soul level and our participation in Tikkun Olam-Repairing the World.

Joseph-Yehuda-Jacob/Israel come together in a moment that sets into action the calling out of the Nation of Israel. The Revealing of Joseph is a huge event-and brings us to learn about the different consciousnesses that we must develop on our spiritual journey.  There can be no deliverance without the steps seen and taught here in the end of the Book of Genesis. Join Lead Instructor David Fournier from the Centre for Hebraic Insights as he teaches on this subject.

Are you alive or living? In this episode, Lead Instructor David Fournier from Restoring Grace talks about Jacob, and how he truly lived.  Sometimes we allow ourselves to become separated from the Creator-casting off our connection with Him.  The truth is-the Creator did not go anywhere-we are simply covering up the part of us that is like Him.  We need to see though life-to the time when Messiah returns-and live our life-given to us by God-fully...

The Biblical story of Korach is very difficult for the modern reader to understand.  But there is great value in getting to this portion-to see that rebelling against the chosen of God is not only wrong-it can be deadly.  Join Lead Instructor David Fournier from Restoring Grace as he explores the Story of Korach and why we should all seek to learn a valuable lesson from this....

At the heart of the matter-we are One Soul-and racism, hatred, judgement... are all keeping us from uniting together as brothers and sisters-and bringing on the Return of Messiah!! Is Messiah Consciousness the answer?  Join Senior Instructor David Fournier from Restoring Grace as he teaches on three steps to correction of racism and hate...

Our Ego-often blocks us from the very blessings and equipping we are asking the Master of the Universe to help us.  This story from the Zohar helps reminds us we can learn and benefit from anyone-and often people are sent to us by the Creator to help us see the things about ourself we might be missing... So let's read about donkeys, a driver and a man that got more than a story... Join Senior Instructor David Fournier from Restoring Grace as he continues his Zohar in 15 lesson series

Don't dismiss the power of your positive actions in this world! Our acts of kindness we share with others truly powers your life-give a "soul" to what you do and say.  We worry so much about outcomes we freeze in doing good to others. Let's not sweat the utcomes-but instead know that when our heart is in the right place-the outcomes are always positive

Candid Conversations has been a huge success and the show has touched many difficult subjects. We are thankful to the guests that have joined us and the many emails, comments and concerns. This episode will cover the most talked about segments and comments we have been getting on the previous shows.  Thanks for tuning in and listening as the Candid Conversation series continues...

Let it go!!! Turns out this was more than a clever song... Our past can be the best tool to educate and help us move into the future-but it also can be a heavy weight around our necks if we bring along anger and wrath on our journey... if your need to be right is your primary driver-than you are in for a long and hard road. Join Senior Instructor David Fournier from Restoring Grace as he teaches on letting go and allowing God to work through all out situations and challenges!! 

Actions (and words) speak volumes.  We proclaim peace, love and understanding as being cornerstone elements of the Gospel Message-but our words and lack of care, concern and kindness show a very different side.  Good people-really Good people-have become voice boxes for the Other Side-The Evil Inclination-under the guise of social media justice.  You can pretend all day long your anger and righteous indignation is justified, but you are only fooling yourself-the homeless are still homeless-domestic violence, sexual assault, poverty-and many other issues you are not raving about are still in full force. Joinn David Fournier from Restoring Grace for a good kick in the shins!!

With all the hustle and bustle going on around us everyday, it can be easy to forget that we are here to assist God in His ongoing mission of Repairing the World.  More importantly, remembering that each of us has a major role of contribution to play in accomplishing the Return of Messiah. Join Senior Instructor David Fournier from Restoring Grace as he outlines how we each can make a difference each and every day

Candid Conversations is back with another tough subject-Sex Crimes Against Children.  Rebecca is joined by an expert in the field, Larry Nutter, to discuss these crimes and the people that commit them.  Larry brings a wealth of personal and professional experience to the conversation.. NOTE: This episode is Rated PG-13-adult supervision is recommended when listening to the broadcast

We talked tin our lastepisode about warning signs, and there are still a few to go over. Especially the warning signs of sexual offenders. But we are going to start talking about “now what?” Part 2. What do we do after a disclosure. How do we help the victim and not compromise a case? How do we handle this when the abuse comes from within your own family, which it likely will be. There are definite and outlined reasons victims do not come forward and we are here to help eliminate these reasons. Sexual abuse itself is such a violation to the human integrity and its traumatic. It’s even more traumatic to come out with it in an environment meant specifically to suppress.

Perhaps one of the toughest things to determine-to understand-to find out and address-is sexual and physical abuse of children.  The evidence is overwhelming that these types of crimes cross every type of social groups.  Join Rebecca Lynn as she discusses what signs to look for, the often difficult attempts at prosecution and how we can equip our children to know how to talk to us when uncomfortable situations arise Questions or Comments? email us: dfour26@gmail.com

Spiritual Growth-Transforming into the being that God has for you-is not about beleiving the right things.  It is hard in this world to grow and transform, to push through all the negativity and find certainty in the Creator.  We do ourselves much harm along the way, by investing in fulfilling our desires and not assisting God in His mission of Tikkun Olam (Repairing the World) Join Senior Instructor David Fournier as he teaches on Growing Spiritually

When addressing rape, rape culture and sexual assaults, we often can get lost in terminology. Is there such a thing as Marital Rape? Does it matter what she was wearing?

Rebecca will be joined by host David Fournier from Restoring Grace Rebecca Cooper-Bio 17 years work experience in the criminal justice system, retired Major Crimes Police Detective and mother of 3.

Does it matter of you go to church? Does it really matter in the grand scheme of eternity? You will be surprised to hear what the Rabbis, Sages and the Old Testament Documents have to say. There are "appointed meetings", times when repentance and the Glory of God will be revealed. Join Senior Instructor David Fournier as he teaches on being present for the Appointed Times

There is process, a path so to speak, that will help guide us to the best version of what God has intended us to be.  Getting there is not about "self-discovery" or "self-improvement", it is about Sharing for the Sake of Others. As we perform our Tikkun (Correction) we are to help others along their way, to assist them in their Tikkun.  Solomon tells us about three ways to keep on the path, and we will be exploring that path in this episode.
