Pastor Randy Powell interviews Michael Spivey, a man who for more than a decade while trying to navigate connections within his family to the Hebrew Roots Movement, had wrongly thought that the First Fruits of Zion were an orthodox alternative. Michael became a fervent supporter of FFOZ, only to realize that they were leading him away from historic and orthodox Christianity.
Note: This is the first interview of an ex-supporter of FFOZ that I've been able to publish, but it is one story among the many who have contacted me to share their encouragement for my efforts to counter this organization's influence, many of whom thought they were alone in being concerned about its unorthodox teachings and impact upon families and churches. The mantra, "Torah Club changed my life!" that its supporters share when confronted with FFOZ's false teachings, is more true, and more painful, than they realize.
