Would you follow if a prophetic dream called you to action?
Through a series of prophetic dreams and confirmations, Rabbi Kirt Schneider explained how his path 2026 path has been shifted. In a dream, he saw himself on the cover of a magazine, identical to how he looked before 2019—without his peyos, which is a hairstyle worn by some Orthodox Jewish men.
The content inside the magazine focused on lifting people up with wisdom, knowledge and clarity, hinting at new ways God wanted to use him: “Inside it was a mixture of science and entertainment and math and information… bringing people up to a higher level of clarity. I knew that somehow I was connected to that theme.”
Wondering what he should do, Schneider received unexpected confirmation when his oldest daughter, Alyssa, shared a dream she had that night: “I dream that you didn’t have peyos anymore.” The alignment of both dreams left no doubt in his heart that God was calling him to step into a new season of ministry.
“I grew my peyos because I wanted to make a statement unto the Lord in the earth that Jesus is the most Jewish form of spirituality on the planet,” he explained. His decision was not merely cultural; it was prophetic, signaling that authentic Jewish spirituality finds its fulfillment in following Jesus.
Now, as he prepared to cut them off, he reflected on the biblical principle of costly obedience. “I’m not going to offer to the Lord that which cost me nothing,” he recalled from 1 Chronicles.
With a heart of faith and surrender, Schneider recognized that God’s new promises are better than what we leave behind. “If we’re going to enter into the new thing, we have to let go of the old thing,” he said.
This act marks not the end of a journey, but the beginning of a new one—a season where obedience, faith and divine opportunity intersect. “Let’s believe the new thing. The new thing is always better and greater than the old thing.”
