On June 25th 2025, in collaboration with Open Folk, we presented our first ever live interview event in Los Angeles. As Open Folk put it: "In These Lines is a live event where three artists each bring one song — not just to perform, but to explore. They sit down with Sofia Loporcaro, host of Before The Chorus, to talk about where the song came from, what it meant to write it, and what it still holds. Then they play it. Just the song, and the truth behind it."

Before a song is released, a record is produced, or a chorus is written, the musicians that write them think. A lot. They live. A lot. And they feel. A LOT. Hosted by award-winning interviewer Sofia Loporcaro, Before the Chorus explores the genuine human experiences behind the music. Sofia’s deep knowledge of music and personal journey with mental health help her connect with artists on a meaningful level. This is a space where fans connect with artists, and listeners from all walks of life feel seen through the stories that shape the music we love. About the host: Sofia Loporcaro is an award-winning interviewer and radio host who’s spent over 8 years helping musicians share their stories. She’s hosted shows for Amazing Radio, and Transmission Roundhouse. Now on Before the Chorus, she’s had the chance to host guests like Glass Animals, Feist, Madison Cunningham, Mick Jenkins, & Ru Paul's Drag Race winner Shea Couleé. Learn more about your ad choices.

There has been complicated and prolonged discussions, arguments, and battles since the First Century over whether or not Gentiles should or can convert to Judaism as believers in the Promised Jewish Messiah. In this episode our MessianTics rabbis discuss this very issue and share their thoughts on the issue and whether or not this conversation was settled in the Brit Chadashah. As always, give it a listen and share your thoughts with us.

Sadly, the MessianTics Podcast staff is seeing some significant changes, and as such this episode is our farewell episode to the show. It may make a return in a new iteration at some point in the future, but with Rabbi Toby leaving Congregation Mayim Chayim later this year and Jonathan having already resigned and moved on from Brit Ahm, we felt it was necessary for the show as we've come to know and love to come to an official close. We have loved the past three years of making this podcast, we pray it has been a blessing and encouragement to our audience, and we'll see if at some point the show is resurrected in a new iteration.…

In this episode our MessianTics rabbis wrestle with an interesting conundrum that appears to be common (intentionally or not) in the Body of Messiah. Often Pauline Epistles are handled and taught with an attitude almost as though they are more important than any other part of the Brit Chadashah (New Testament). In fact, many believers are better acquainted with Paul's words than Yeshua's... Listen to our rabbis dig into this issue and discuss why this may be and how to balance things out. Below is a link to a chronology of Acts and the Epistles (mentioned in the episode) that can be helpful in understanding the historical context of the Epistles. https://www.blueletterbible.org/study/pnt/pnt02.cfm…
