Episode 161 - The Road Ahead for The Jewish Road

 

Helping Christians make sense of their roots. Helping the Jewish community make sense of Jesus. Together, we are restoring the Jewishness of the gospel.

As 2025 draws to a close, we reflect on a year of challenge, recovery, and renewed calling. 

In this special episode, we uncover the ancient story behind Hanukkah - and how it points to the greater miracle still to come. 

From a dreidel in ancient Greece to divine doors opening in modern Israel, we explore how God’s covenant faithfulness continues to unfold before our eyes.

The Jewish Road is stepping into a new partnership with the government of Israel - helping tell her story to the nations and helping the church understand its part in that story. 

Along the way, we share updates on health, hope, and the incredible ways God is still writing the story of His people.

Key Takeaways:

  • The dreidel tells more than a children’s story - it proclaims that “a great miracle happened there” and points to the greater one still to come.

  • Hanukkah reminds us that God always preserves His people, even when the world plots their end.

  • Prophets like Zechariah foresaw a coming deliverance that’s still future and messianic.

  • God’s pattern of deliverance is consistent - He always raises a redeemer for Israel.

  • A new partnership with Israel’s government opens opportunities to help tell her story faithfully to the church.

  • The global church must rediscover its calling to stand with the Jewish people in truth and love.

  • God’s faithfulness to Israel guarantees His faithfulness to us; the story is not over.
