Welcome to Grafted: Jewish Roots of Christianity! My guest is Melissa Schilling Smith!
Host Stephanie Pavlantos interviews Melissa Schilling Smith (“God’s Little Hummingbird”), a Bible/Torah teacher and content creator, about her testimony and the Hebrew-roots/Torah movement. Melissa describes Levite (Cohen) family history, Jewish identity hidden through persecution, and a turning point involving severe illness after eating shellfish, followed by fasting, study in Leviticus and Jeremiah, and conviction about Sabbath, food laws, and rejecting pagan traditions like Christmas and Easter. She links a modern “Ephraim awakening” to prophecies about scattered Israel and argues Shavuot/Pentecost reflects Israel’s restoration and the Spirit enabling obedience to Torah per Ezekiel and Jeremiah’s renewed covenant. They discuss Torah as defining love and freedom, Paul and Yeshua teaching from Torah and prophets, and Melissa’s concerns in the movement, including denying Yeshua’s divinity, divisive debates, Hebrew misuse, pride, slander of Jews, and neglecting justice, mercy, and faithfulness.
