I was blessed to be raised in a wonderful Christian home, where both of my parents were deeply devoted to God. I accepted Jesus Christ as my Savior at the age of seven, and our family faithfully attended church every Sunday and throughout the week.
However, like many, I faced a period of struggle during my teenage years. I drifted from my faith and spent years in rebellion, not following Jesus as I should have. But when I got married and started a family, I knew I wanted to take my faith more seriously. My relationship with God needed to be at the center of my life.
There are details of what I call my “dark and empty years” that I’ll share another time, but for now, I want to focus on what became a turning point in my faith. Several years ago, my cousin Benjamin introduced me to a friend of his named Dr. Baruch Korman, who lives in Israel and teaches God’s Word in Hebrew and Greek—the original languages of the Bible.
The first time I listened to his teachings, I was shocked at how much of the Bible I had never truly understood. Verses I had read countless times suddenly took on new depth and meaning when explained in their original language. As I followed along verse by verse, I realized how much had been lost in translation over the years.
If hearing God’s Word in its true context could ignite such a fire in me, awakening a deep hunger to study Scripture, then maybe it could do the same for others. That’s when the idea for Lost in Translation was born.
I called Baruch, and we began working on ways to bring these teachings to more people. Then I reached out to my friend Tom Le Vine, who works at a radio station in San Diego. In 2017, we launched the radio show Lost in Translation—a platform dedicated to studying Scripture in its original languages, revealing the deeper truths behind each word, verse, and chapter.
This journey has transformed my life in ways I never expected, and I feel compelled to share it with anyone willing to listen. With my wife, Kristine, by my side, encouraging and supporting me every step of the way, we are incredibly blessed to be part of this ministry.
We are excited to see where God leads us next, and we pray that Lost in Translation helps you grow in your understanding of His Word just as it has for us.

Since the birth of the radio ministry in 2019, Tom Le Vine has served as host of “LOST IN TRANSLATION,” the on-air Bible teaching ministry of Dr. Baruch Korman. Every week, Tom Le Vine teams with friend and co-host Ronnie Houlihan to explore today’s Biblical issues. These unique question-and-answer conversations began on one local station. The outreach rapidly spread to a network of nearly 200 U.S. broadcast signals. Then, in 2020, Sirius XM Satellite Radio began broadcasting Baruch’s teaching throughout all of North America (and worldwide on the SXM App, Channel 131).
Along with many of our listeners, Tom Le Vine saw his faith transformed by Baruch’s teaching. “Many modern-day American Christians are like I was … considering the Old Testament books to be somehow less significant or worthy of my time and attention. Baruch helps me understand the rich depth and history of our faith, and that the Messiah’s story cannot be well understood without a solid grasp on all 66 books of the Bible. We can’t experience our Christian life fully without understanding that all of Scripture ultimately points to Him.”
Beginning at age 15, Tom Le Vine dedicated his life’s work to the spread of the Gospel through Christian media. After many years with the world’s largest Christian broadcast media company, he launched SDRadiance.com, a Christian media outreach, in 2014.
Married to Dawn Le Vine since 1982, Tom Le Vine lives in San Diego with their daughter and son. They enjoy hiking, reading, and small group ministry. He now serves on the board as volunteer media strategist for LostInTranslationMinistry.org.

My faith journey has taken me from Israel to America, where I served as a Hebrew teacher and in time found my faith in Messiah which completely transformed my life.

Over the years, I’ve dedicated myself to serving others—working with the government to support children, serving the elderly through various social programs, and helping young low-income individuals work toward self-sufficiency.

For the last 20 years, I founded and operated Comfort Keepers of Colorado Western Slope, a successful home care company. After two decades of ownership, I made the decision to sell the business so that I could fully dedicate myself to what I truly feel called to do- helping believers understand God’s Word as He intended it to be.

My husband, Benjamin Lee, has been a believer in the Messiah since childhood. Born and raised in America, He has always had a heart for helping people, reaching out in any way he could. Now that our business has been sold, he’s standing with me in this mission, working side by side to bring Lost in Translation to life.

We’ve also joined forces with Ronnie Hullihan, the founder of this ministry. As a Christian, Ronnie always felt drawn to understanding God’s Word more deeply. Over time, he realized that much of what he had been taught was missing its original meaning. His passion for truth led him to seek the Hebrew foundation of scripture, and that’s what brought us together.

Lost in Translation is more than just a project—it’s our calling. Too many biblical words and concepts have been misinterpreted, leading to misunderstandings about God’s true message. Our goal is to help believers see God’s heart clearly by restoring the original Hebrew and Greek meaning of scripture.

In addition to our own teachings, we often utilize the teachings and insights of Dr. Baruch Korman with Love Israel.org to help readers and viewers better understand the Word of God. Through his work, we provide powerful tools and resources to deepen biblical understanding and restore the scripture’s original intent.

This isn’t just about knowledge; it’s about deepening our faith verse by verse and helping you ask the right questions, dig deeper, and build a stronger foundation of faith. We are a team, fully devoted to this mission, and we welcome you to be a part of it.

Welcome to Lost in Translation.
