About this listen

Links to Messiah is where faith, family and the profound impact of the Jewish Messiah converge. Hi, I’m Rachel and was raised in a Messianic Jewish home where my parents ensured that my sisters and I understood our Jewish roots and how the Old Testament all pointed directly to our Messiah, Jesus.

We explore the Jewish roots of the Bible. We discuss the importance of understanding feasts and festivals. We highlight how these traditions are intricately linked to the narrative of the Jewish Messiah.

  • Ep. 111 - The Missing Piece of Easter: Discovering Passover with Your Kids (Feat. Rene A. Wallace)

    What does Passover have to do with Easter?

    In this episode, Rachel sits down with children’s author Rene Annette Wallace to talk about helping kids understand the beautiful connection between the biblical celebration of Passover and the story of Jesus.

    Rene’s book, Zoe Discovers Passover at Easter, invites children into the story through curiosity, discovery, and family conversation. Together we explore why teaching the Jewish roots of our faith helps children see Scripture as one unified story of redemption.

    You’ll also hear how families can begin celebrating Passover in simple, meaningful ways that point children to Jesus as the Lamb of God who takes away the sin of the world.

    Rene’s book is also featured in this year’s Links to Messiah Passover Family Boxes, designed to help families experience Scripture together through reading, activities, and hands-on learning.

    If you’ve ever wondered how to make Passover meaningful for your kids, this conversation will inspire you.

  • Episode 110: Heroes of the Faith: Esther. (feat. Purim)
    Feb 25 2026

    Send a text

    In this episode, Rachel Kushner retells the story of Esther through the lens of covenant and promise.

    The book of Esther never mentions the name of God, yet His faithfulness is woven through every chapter. When Haman plots to destroy the Jewish people in Persia, it looks like the end of the story. But behind palace doors and sleepless nights, God is quietly preserving His covenant promise to Abraham.

    This episode also introduces the family activity “Hidden but Not Absent,” where children search for the Hebrew name Elohim as a reminder that even when God’s name is not written, He is still sovereign and working.

    If you are longing to build family legacy around the table and help your children understand that God keeps His promises, this episode will encourage you deeply.

  • Ep. 109: Heroes of the Faith - David, the Beloved
    Feb 17 2026

    Send a text

    In this episode, Rachel Kushner reflects on how David’s faith was formed in quiet places, how he trusted God in both victory and failure, and why Scripture calls him a man after God’s own heart. David’s story reminds us that faith is not about perfection. It is about returning to God again and again.

    Rachel also shares tenderly about her own son, David, and how the meaning of his name has shaped her understanding of love, grief, and identity. This episode includes a gentle content note regarding the loss of an adult child.

    David’s life ultimately points us to Jesus, the Beloved Son. Identity comes before accomplishment. Love comes before victory.

    As you gather around your table this week, may the word beloved echo in your home and settle gently in your own heart.
