Summary

In this episode of the Jewish Road Podcast, we discuss the current state of the world through a Messianic Jewish lens. We look at the idea that America, once a safe place for Jewish people, is now experiencing disarray and division. Drawing parallels to the story of Joseph in the Bible, we emphasize the importance of not getting too comfortable in the current world and longing for a greater homeland. We talk through the rise of anti-Semitism and the need for believers to live in the world but not be of the world.

Takeaways

• America, once a safe place for Jewish people, is experiencing disarray and division.

• Believers should not get too comfortable in the current world and should long for a greater homeland.

• Anti-Semitism is on the rise, and believers need to be cautious and aware of the changing landscape.

Imagine this: You're shipwrecked and find yourself on an island inhabited by Jewish people. Your New Testament is gone, sunk to the bottom of the ocean. All you have to share the story of the Messiah is the Old Testament.

Could you share the Good News?

Welcome to Episode 101 of The Jewish Road Podcast, where we dive into how to share the Good News of the Messiah using the Old Testament, or as it's known in Jewish tradition, the Tanakh.

In this episode, we discuss how the so-called "Roman Road" may not resonate with Jewish people, as it leads to a spiritual dead end for them.

Instead, we introduce you to The Jewish Road – a path paved with Old Testament scriptures pointing to the Messiah. Learn how these ancient texts show the Good News in a way that connects deeply with Jewish hearts and minds.

Equip yourself with knowledge and confidence to share the Messiah's story from the Tanakh.

It's not just good news - it's the story of hope and salvation!

Join us for a journey back to the roots, where the message of the Messiah shines brightly through the Old Testament. Get ready to walk The Jewish Road.
