When You Feel the Stirring : Why the Biblical Feasts Still Matter

There’s a stirring I’ve seen in the hearts of so many women lately. It’s subtle. It slips into conversation like a soft whisper:

“I’ve always wanted to learn more about the Jewish feasts…”

“I feel drawn to Passover, but I don’t know why.”

“I wish I knew how to celebrate these like they did in the Bible.”

And then the moment passes. We move on. No one presses deeper. No one hands a shovel. But I think that stirring matters.

I believe it’s the Spirit calling us to remember what we’ve forgotten—not to live in legalism, but to walk in rhythm with the God who set the sun and moon in place “for signs and seasons, and for days and years” (Genesis 1:14). His appointed times are not just cultural relics or Jewish traditions—they’re invitations. And they are still pulsing with meaning today.

🕊️ So Why Should We, as Christian Women, Care About the Biblical Feasts?

Because they were God’s idea.

“These are the appointed feasts of the Lord… holy convocations which you shall proclaim at the time appointed for them.”

—Leviticus 23:4

They don’t belong to a particular ethnicity. They belong to the Lord. And when we were grafted into His covenant family (Romans 11), we didn’t join a new religion—we stepped into an ancient story that was already unfolding.

🌾 Not Legalism—Legacy

Celebrating the feasts isn’t about trying to be Jewish or following rituals to earn righteousness. It’s about slowing down to remember. To rehearse the beauty of God’s redemptive story. To align our calendars with the rhythm of His Kingdom, not just the world’s.

Every feast in Scripture points to Jesus—His birth, His sacrifice, His resurrection, His return. And when we honor those days, even in small ways, we’re not performing rituals… we’re remembering who we are.

🌅 This is the Invitation

Over the next eight Mondays, we’re going to journey toward Rosh Hashanah, the Feast of Trumpets. We’ll talk about:

What it is Where it shows up in Scripture How it’s connected to the return of Christ And how we might begin to celebrate it today—not with pressure, but with purpose

So if you’ve felt the stirring—even if it was just a passing thought—stay with me. Let’s follow it together. Let’s prepare our hearts for the sound of the trumpet.

Because the King is coming. And these are His appointed days.

When have I felt a stirring to explore the feasts? What has held me back?”
