  • Truth of the Bible

    This podcast is my very favourite one. I love the Israel stories, the Bible Q&A, just every bit of it.

    I have learned so much of Israel through this podcast. I heard you’re offering the book “Should Christians support Israel?”

    You are probably not shopping to Canada?

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

I’ll Be Your Server
Q: Can you tell me how we as Christians can know which promises of God are meant for the Jewish people and which are pertinent to us as non-Jewish believers?
Answers focus on context: identify who is being spoken to, whether the promise targets Gentile Christians, Messianic Jews, or Israel as a people, and recognize overlaps where Gentiles may also benefit; Romans 11 and Isaiah 59 are cited to illustrate the inclusive yet specific framing of promises.
Connecting Deeper with the Holy Land
Q: Was Jesus baptized twice?
The guest explains that the voice from heaven is interpreted differently across gospels, but essentially emphasizes one act with slightly different emphasis in Matthew versus Mark/Luke, not two baptisms.
Climbing for Christ
Q: Why did John the Baptist have disciples who stayed after he pointed people to Jesus?
Some disciples found Jesus compelling and followed him, while others did not; the dynamic reflects human reception of truth and the Spirit's work.
Climbing for Christ
Q: What kind of vision does Proverbs 29:18 describe, and why is it important?
Vision is defined as the Word of God; without it, people perish, because Scripture guides life and obedience.
Climbing for Christ
Q: Can people in heaven see what is happening on earth?
The guest suggests there may be limited awareness or insight granted by God into ongoing gospel activity, but it is not fully defined and likely not as a constant view of earthly events.
