Through truth the heart is refined, through wisdom the path is steadied, and through obedience faith comes alive.

Theresa Joy

I’m the voice behind Yeshua Daily. Growing up, I always knew I was different. People often called me shy, soft spoken, and the quiet one. It wasn’t until later on, when one of my granddaughters was born and eventually diagnosed as autistic level 3, that things changed. I started looking into autism because I really didn’t know much about it. It was through this searching that I found myself as well, and I discovered that I too am autistic, level 1–2. Because it is hard to diagnose adults, the only diagnosis I can have is a self identifying one. Many adults with autism are self identifying because of the lack of formal diagnostics for adults. 

Autistic people often have special interests we pursue with intensity. Mine is תּוֹרָה (Torah) and יֵשׁוּעַ (Yeshua).

I always wondered why I could sit for hours, sometimes days, hyper focusing on one topic. If you tell me about a blue butterfly, and I didn’t know butterflies could be blue, I will go home and start researching. By the time I’m done, I’ve learned everything about butterflies in general. This same hyper focusing trait is what helps me research and study the bible deeply and it is what also led me to create Yeshua Daily, to share all my research and studies with you.

My Current Focus

I started off doing extensive Bible studies, historical studies along with a Journal for everything else that wasn’t focused on studying the Bible. Eventually, I felt a desire to make a book. Which will contain the Torah, Proverbs, Matthew, and James.

Because of this, here on Yeshua Daily, I decided to put on hold my bible studies and journal, so I can reorganize and focus on this translation project. Eventually, I might complete the whole Bible, but that is a maybe. For now, the main focus of this page is the translation for the book called: Teshuvah: Returning to the Ancient Path. You can [learn more about the book and the translation process here]. When I am finished, I will add the Bible study and journal categories back and more.

As far as my beliefs? Well, where would I even begin?

Growing up, I was raised in a Christian home by my father, whom I dearly love and miss. My father went to a Southern Baptist church while my mom went to a Pentecostal church, though eventually my dad did too. I was raised to understand who God and the Messiah were through the beliefs and understanding of my parents raised me in. I had grew up believing in the Trinity, I believed that the commandments of God were old and not important to keep anymore, I went to church on Sundays, and I ate unclean animals with no second thoughts. I also kept Christian holidays like Christmas and Easter. This was the belief system that I loved. I would even go to the street corner holding a “Turn to God” sign and passed out Bible tracts with what I believed was the truth.
