Becoming Israel
Hosted by Hector Brito & Destin Scott · ENGLISH
Becoming Israel: Learning, believing, and living in the Truth to become more than we ever imagined.
Join Hector Brito and Destin Scott on a transformative journey through the timeless wisdom of the Torah, illuminated by the lens of modern psychology.
Each week, we dive deep into the current Parashah, the weekly Torah portion, unveiling its hidden layers and profound relevance to our modern lives. Our unique approach integrates esoteric Judeo-Christian insights with Neo-Jungian depth psychology, offering listeners a rich tapestry of wisdom to navigate their personal and collective journeys.
Why "Becoming Israel"? Jacob - in order to become Israel, wrestled with the Angel of the LORD and succeeded; but with an injured hip that gave him a limp. Our podcast aims to help you grapple with substantial elements of faith and psychology - so you can earn your limp. We don't brag about the injury, but we are grateful of our continuing transformation no matter the cost.
What sets us apart:
1. Timely Insights: We explore how each week's Parashat influences the collective energy signature, equipping you to navigate the spiritual currents of our time.
2. Practical Application: Learn how to apply ancient wisdom to modern challenges, enhancing your personal growth and relationships.
3. Psychological Depth: Gain insights into your psyche through the lens of Neo-Jungian concepts, unlocking deeper self-understanding.
4. Cultural Bridge: Experience the beauty of Judeo-Christian tradition interpreted through a psychological framework, fostering interfaith understanding.
5. Current Events: We relate the energy of each week's Parashat to the world at large, helping you make sense of global trends and personal experiences.
Each Saturday, as the new portion begins, we release an episode that serves as a seed for the week ahead. Our discussions will help you:
• Understand the psychological significance of biblical narratives
• Recognize archetypal patterns in your life and in society
• Develop tools for spiritual and emotional growth
