The Teacher And The Preacher Welcomes Aaron Lipkin As The New Teacher!

Master Minded Ministries welcomes Aaron Lipkin as the new “Teacher” on The Teacher and The Preacher radio program and podcasts!  As many of you may know, our previous teacher and partner for the past six years has been Harold Berman.  Harold was a wonderful partner, contributor and friend.

Harold stepped away from the seat back in October, and we had been praying that God would provide the right next person.  These are not easy shoes to fill.  Harold was a big contributor to the radio programs every week.  He brought many fantastic guests for us to interview.  He’s been a wonderful blessing!

Back in January, God led me to reach out to a longtime friend asking him to prayerfully consider filling this empty seat. And, graciously Aaron accepted. Aaron was born and raised in Israel. He is an observant Jew. Aaron has been working in tourism since 1997, bringing thousands of tourists to Israel. Aaron is also an Israeli Bible scholar who specializes in the Biblical archaeology of Israel and lectures in many churches, synagogues, TV and Radio stations. 

But that’s not all, because Aaron is also a film maker and has created several videos that incorporate Biblical text, Archaeology, the geography of Israel and stunning drone videos. 

He is a member of the "Manasseh Hill Country Survey· team founded by Professor Adam Zertal of the Haifa university.  Aaron is a "Joshua's Altar· activist and was involved in the finding of the Mt. Ebal Inscription - The oldest Hebrew text dating to the year 3300 BCE. To round things out, Aaron is also a spokesperson of his town, Ofra - a Jewish township in Samaria.
