Episode 146 - Still Chosen: Why Are So Many Christians Confused About Israel Right Now?
Christians are deconstructing - and Israel is getting left behind.
In this gripping episode, Matt and Ron Davis tackle a spiritual crisis erupting across the Church. As Christians deconstruct their faith, many are also unraveling their support for Israel.
But this isn’t just about politics or theology - it’s a battle for the narrative of God’s story.
Through honest reflection, cultural commentary, and biblical insight, the Davises unpack the subtle ways antisemitism creeps into pulpits and prayer rooms.
From the dangers of progressive ideology to the fear of social backlash, this conversation holds nothing back.
It’s not about taking sides. It’s about staying rooted.
Because if we lose Israel, we lose the plot.
Episode 145 - Building Friendship With the Jewish People (featuring Chris Byberg)
What happens when a quiet Canadian pastor steps into the rising tide of global antisemitism?
Chris Byberg isn’t looking to be a hero. He’s looking to be a friend.
A friend to rabbis. A friend to Jewish neighbors. A friend who refuses to stay silent.
In this gripping conversation, Chris shares his personal transformation - from growing up in a Jewish neighborhood to standing on the front lines of spiritual warfare in Parliament Hill.
He talks about the fear that silences pastors, the indifference that numbs the Church, and the quiet strength of showing up, again and again, in the name of love.
He reminds us that allyship isn’t found in hashtags. It’s forged in fire. In tears. In prayer.
In the kind of bold friendship that lays down comfort for covenant.
Episode 143 - Why Zionism Is Biblical, Not Political (featuring Dan Eshed)
What’s it like to live on the frontlines of biblical prophecy and modern warfare?
In this gripping conversation, we are joined by Dan Eshed, a third-generation Israeli and IDF soldier who shares firsthand what life is like just an hour from Gaza.
From serving in Gaza and Lebanon to navigating the heartbreak of hostages, Dan reveals the deeply human and spiritual layers of Israel’s ongoing fight for survival.
They discuss the challenges of distinguishing civilians from Hamas operatives, the global misunderstanding of Zionism, and the raw tension between justice, mercy, and truth.
Dan’s insights are both sobering and hopeful as he describes how solidarity, biblical identity, and divine calling shape Israel’s unshakable resilience - even under fire.
If you want to understand Israel beyond the headlines - from a biblical, historical, and personal lens - this episode will challenge and inspire you.
Episode 141 - From Black and White to Technicolor: Rediscovering the Bible’s Jewish Roots (featuring David Mack)
What if you’ve been reading the Bible in black and white… when it was meant to be in technicolor?
David Mack, founder of BLAC Ministries (Biblical Learning and Application Community), joins Matt and Ron to share how discovering the Jewishness of Jesus transformed his walk and his teaching.
From a life-changing encounter with Arnold Fruchtenbaum to building global discipleship resources translated into Swahili, Urdu, and Spanish, David’s journey is rooted in reclaiming the full biblical story.
They explore why Torah still matters, how modern churches often sideline Israel, and why a Star of David baseball cap stirred everything from conversations to controversy.
With humility and passion, David calls the Church to return to its Jewish foundation - not just for theological accuracy, but for spiritual vitality.
Episode 54: Oy To The World
Hanukkah and Christmas for many American Jews can cause confusion about which holiday to celebrate and how. Hanukkah, specifically, has lost much of its original meaning, and the birth of the Messiah, Christmas, is no different.
Episode 53: If Only This Were In The Past
Now more than ever is a time to celebrate Hanukkah and hold onto the light of hope that it provides us. In 1932, Anti-Semitism was on the rise in Europe and many Jewish families could personally feel evil making its way towards them.
Despite what they saw out their window everyday, those with menorahs kept those lights alight and celebrated this historical holiday that not only brought light into their homes but brought a sense of strength and courage as well.
On this episode of the Jewish Road Podcast, we dive into why we should find reason to celebrate Hanukkah today in a time when Anti-Semitism seems more persistent than ever: to provide strength, promise, and hope for the future - even in dark times.
