🎙️ Jew & Gentile Podcast — Episode Notes This week on The Jew and Gentile Podcast, Chris and Steve begin with the unusual story of twins born with dramatically different skin tones—one black and one white—which leads into a fascinating biblical connection: the nation of Israel traces its story back to twins, Jacob and Esau. The guys also share some updates from recent travels to Williams Bay, Wisconsin, and Northwest Bible Chapel in Chicago, including more Stick With Israel sticker giveaways and a funny follow-up about longtime listener George, whose daughter discovered even more candy wrappers in his shower drain. They also preview upcoming FOI Equip classes, including Dr. Peter Goeman’s September series, Is the Church the New Israel?, and Dr. Kobby Barda’s October presentation, An Israeli’s View on Christian Zionism. Chris and Steve then turn to Jesus’ penetrating question in Matthew 16:26: “What good will it be for someone to gain the whole world, yet forfeit their soul?” They explore the timeless idea of trading what is eternal for temporary success, drawing connections to works such as The Picture of Dorian Gray, The Screwtape Letters, and The Pilgrim’s Progress. The conversation also touches on Jesus’ patience with people, Milton Friedman’s famous exchange with Phil Donahue, the strategic value of America’s alliance with Israel, concerns over Israel’s growing “brain drain,” and new developments in Israeli politics. And in keeping with the theme of Jesus’ question about gaining the whole world, the guys close with a Yiddish word connected to “world.” Is the Church the "New Israel"?

🎙️ Jew & Gentile Podcast — Episode Notes In this episode of The Jew and Gentile Podcast, Steve joins the conversation from beautiful Lake Geneva, Wisconsin, while Chris hosts from New Jersey. Together, they discuss several significant developments involving Israel and the Middle East, including the U.S. Army’s new “Hammer of the Gods” system designed to disrupt missile attacks, recent Israeli political polling showing Likud in second place, and the ongoing disagreement over plans for an Israeli withdrawal from Gaza and the disarmament of Hamas. They also preview Dr. Peter Goeman’s upcoming FOI Equip class, Is the Church the New Israel?, scheduled for September 3, 10, and 17. Chris and Steve also reflect on the immeasurable love and greatness of God through the hymn The Love of God and its connection to the ancient Jewish poem Akdamut. Written in Aramaic by Rabbi Meir Ben Isaac Nehorai, the poem declares that even if the oceans were filled with ink and the heavens became a scroll, God’s greatness could never be fully described. The episode also considers several powerful questions Jesus asked throughout the Gospels and concludes with a classic Yiddish Ellis Island story explaining how the phrase “shoyn fargesn”—“I’ve already forgotten”—became the name “Sean Ferguson.” Is the Church the "New Israel"?

Register: foiequip.org   🕎 Yiddish Word of the Day Shoyn Fargesn— I forget An elderly Yiddish-speaking man arrives at Ellis Island after a long and exhausting journey. Along the way, he has passed through so many processing centers—and been given so many different versions of his name—that by the time an immigration officer asks, “What is your name?” his mind goes completely blank. Flustered, he mutters in Yiddish, “Shoyn fargesn,” meaning, “I’ve already forgotten.” The officer nods, writes it down, and from that day forward, the man is known as Sean Ferguson. 🎧 Subscribe, Share & Support Listen wherever you get your podcasts: 🎧 Apple Podcasts | Spotify | YouTube 🌐 https://jewandgentile.org 💬 Free Pro-Israel Stickers Show your support for Israel with FOI’s free pro-Israel stickers 🇮🇱 📲 Text 424-444-1948 to get yours today!   ☕ MUG-ON-A-MUG Sip your coffee with some serious Jewish-ministry vibes ☕ With a gift of $10 or more to FOI Equip, you’ll receive your very own Jew & Gentile Podcast Mug-on-a-Mug! 💬 Oy—look at Steve’s punim!

🎙️ Jew & Gentile Podcast — Episode Notes This week on The Jew and Gentile Podcast, Chris gives listeners an update on his health and recovery, and Steve joins him for a wide-ranging conversation about Jewish history, faith, and the enduring connection of the Jewish people to their homeland. They discuss the surprising fate of Theodor Herzl’s former home, which has become a pizzeria, before turning to Tisha B’Av—the saddest day on the Jewish calendar. Chris and Steve explain the tragedies traditionally remembered on the ninth of Av, including the destruction of both Temples in Jerusalem, the defeat of the Bar Kochba revolt, and the expulsions of Jewish communities from England and Spain. They also revisit the famous story of Napoleon recognizing that a people who mourned Jerusalem for nearly 2,000 years would surely one day return. The conversation also explores several powerful questions Jesus asked, including, “Who do you say I am?” and “What can a man give in exchange for his soul?” Chris and Steve consider what these questions reveal about faith, doubt, identity, and the eternal value of the soul. Plus, they discuss wooden beams believed to date to the First Temple period, controversial comments about religious Zionists serving in Israel’s military, developments involving the Lebanese army in southern Lebanon, and President Trump’s comments concerning Benjamin Netanyahu. Listeners will also learn the Yiddish word challish, meaning faint or weak with hunger, and hear how they can receive free pro-Israel stickers, become a free FOI Equipper, and join upcoming classes studying the Bible from a Jewish perspective.   Is the Church the "New Israel"?

🎙️ Jew & Gentile Podcast — Episode Notes In this episode of The Jew and Gentile Podcast, Chris and Steve explore the Talmud’s fascinating—and often humorous—description of the Seven Types of Pharisees. Six represent outward, hypocritical religion: displaying good deeds for attention, delaying obedience with pious excuses, performing exaggerated acts of modesty, keeping score with God, or serving Him only out of fear. The seventh, however, is the God-loving Pharisee—someone whose obedience flows from sincere faith and genuine love for God. Chris and Steve also examine several thought-provoking questions Jesus asked in the Gospels, including, “Who of you by worrying can add a single hour to his life?” and “Why are you so afraid?” The conversation then turns to modern antisemitism and the dangerous stereotype that Jewish people cannot experience hatred or discrimination because they are supposedly wealthy. Rep. Becca Balint recently recalled an unnamed congressional colleague dismissing antisemitism by claiming that “all the Jews are rich”—a statement that exposes how ancient prejudices continue to appear in modern political life. Finally, learn the Yiddish word of the day: אָפּעראַציע (operatsye), meaning “surgery,” along with כירורגיע (khirurgye), the Yiddish term for the medical practice or field of surgery.

🎙️ Jew & Gentile Podcast — Episode Notes In this episode of The Jew and Gentile Podcast, Chris and Steve continue their journey tracing the theme of blood throughout Scripture, moving from the cross to the throne room of heaven. They explore how Revelation presents the shed blood of Jesus not as something forgotten after salvation, but as the eternal song of heaven: “You were slain, and have redeemed us to God by Your blood.” From Revelation 5:9 to Revelation 12:11, Chris and Steve show how the blood of the Lamb remains central to worship, redemption, and spiritual victory. The conversation also turns to the lasting glory of the Lamb in eternity, where the marks of redemption are never erased and the work of Christ is forever remembered. Along the way, Chris and Steve discuss how believers overcome by “the blood of the Lamb and the word of their testimony,” reminding listeners that Christ’s sacrifice is not only the foundation of salvation but the believer’s ongoing victory.

🎙️ Jew & Gentile Podcast — Episode Notes This episode of the Jew and Gentile Podcast Chris and Steve open with a lighter, cultural segment celebrating "Heimish" humor and food culture, including a look at a video on making cholent and kishka, alongside updates on FOI's Equip program — new Become an Equipper resources, free stickers ("Pray for the Peace of Jerusalem," "I Love Israel," "God Bless Israel," "Israel Forever"), and two upcoming Equip classes: Dr. Will Varner teaching "Matthew: The Most Jewish Gospel" (July 9 & 16) and Dr. Peter Goeman teaching "Is the Church the 'New Israel'?" (September 3, 10, 17). The hosts then transition into current events, covering a possible archaeological discovery tied to the Ark of the Covenant, a video on the Pool of Siloam, and a segment addressing the perennial question of why American Jews tend to vote left politically. The heart of the episode is a teaching installment in the ongoing series "The Shedding of Blood: From Genesis to Revelation," anchored in Leviticus 17:11 and the truth that "the life of the flesh is in the blood." Tracing the theme of blood through Scripture, the discussion moves from Christ's blood at the Last Supper (Matthew 26:28) inaugurating the New Covenant, through the cross as the final sacrifice, to Hebrews 9–10's argument for the superiority of Christ's once-for-all sacrifice over temporal animal offerings. It then follows blood's significance into the church age (Acts 20:28, Romans 5:9, Ephesians 1:7, Colossians 1:20, 1 Peter 1:18–19) as the basis of justification, redemption, reconciliation, and purchase, and finally into eschatology — blood in heaven's worship (Revelation 5:9), in the believer's spiritual victory (Revelation 12:11), and in the eternal glory of the Lamb (Revelation 7:14; 19:13; 21–22). The episode closes with the Yiddish Word of the Week segment, unpacking three Yiddish words for "question" — frage (an everyday question), kashe (a philosophical or tricky question, as in the Passover Four Questions), and shayle (a question of Jewish law posed to a rabbi).   Matthew: The Most Jewish Gospel Teacher: Dr. Will Varner 📆 JULY 9, 16 What it’s about: Thinking about studying Matthew?
