Episode 164 - Why Narrative Matters More Than Ever (featuring Hillel Fuld)

Hanukkah
Written By Matt Davis
 

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

In a world flooded with information, why does truth feel harder to find?

Hillel Fuld shares his journey from tech entrepreneur to one of the most recognizable voices advocating for Israel in the digital space. 

After October 7th, everything changed. What was once a growing business became a mission to bring clarity in the middle of confusion.

This episode explores the deeper battle behind the headlines - the fight for narrative, the spread of misinformation, and the responsibility each of us carries in shaping what others believe.

Key Takeaways

  • Narrative often shapes perception more than facts alone

  • Trust, once built, creates influence that can’t be ignored

  • Misinformation spreads faster when it’s simple and emotional

  • Israel’s story is often distorted when removed from historical context

  • Social media gives everyone a voice, whether they use it or not

  • Truth requires intentional effort, not passive consumption

  • Influence is not about size of audience, but clarity of message

Real reconciliation doesn’t begin with politics. It begins with presence. Tables. Conversations. Listening. Prayer. Kindness without agenda. That’s how trust is rebuilt.
Why does Jesus start flipping tables…right before Passover? It’s not random. And it’s not just about corruption. At the very same time, Jewish families were clearing their homes of chametz (leaven)…Jesus was doing somethin
“A lamb rides into Jerusalem on a donkey…” An image so ridiculous, we had to imagine it for a moment. Sounds like the start of a joke. It’s not. It’s the moment everything shifts. Not a king coming to take power. A
We can’t forget: Jesus was Jewish. The Last Supper was a Passover Seder. Every cup. Every element. Every symbol tells the story of redemption. If you want to understand Passion Week more deeply, start at the Exodus. Attend our local Seder, M
From the beginning to the end, it’s all about the Lamb. In Exodus, a lamb’s blood marked the doorposts. In the Gospels, a Lamb’s blood marked the cross. One story. One redemption plan. One faithful God. The Passover Seder is the m
The promise to Abraham was never narrow. Israel was not chosen instead of the nations. Israel was chosen for the nations. “In you all the families of the earth will be blessed.” - Genesis 12:3 That calling is echoed again in Isaiah: &
