  • 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.

Archaeology and the People of the Bible
Q: What does the Tel Dan Stele tell us about David's historicity?
It provides a ninth-century BC reference to the 'House of David,' supporting David as founder of the Israelite dynasty and confirming biblical accounts.
Archaeology and the People of the Bible
Q: How do you determine if a person mentioned in the Bible is the same as someone found in an archaeological source?
Kennedy explains five criteria: matching name, family connections, occupation, geographic context, and chronology; when three or five align, the match becomes solid.
Jeroboam – Up Close and Personal
Q: Who was Jeroboam and how did he become king?
Jeroboam rose from Solomon's northern administration as a capable builder, received a divine promise, but ultimately made choices that led to idolatry and division of the kingdom.
Grafted In
Q: What do you mean by grafted in, specifically who is grafted in to whom and why?
Gentiles who believe in Jesus are grafted into Israel's olive tree, sharing in the nourishing sap of the root while Israel remains the natural tree; Jews who believe in Jesus also share in these blessings. This is not about replacement, but inclusion within the same spiritual promise.
The Good Shepherd—Part 2
Q: How do you approach sharing the gospel with Jewish friends in a respectful way?
The guest suggests using cultural sensitivities and the messianic prophecies as entry points, supported by external resources from Life in Messiah to equip practical outreach.
