Episode 001: Rediscovering Israel: A Jew and Gentile Journey Together

In the inaugural episode of 'The One New Man Podcast,' hosts John Myers and Christopher Kuehl introduce themselves and outline the podcast's aims. John shares his transformation from a '60s hippie to a bank president and senior pastor in Israel, emphasizing his lifelong journey of faith and his return to the U.S. to continue the 'Israel Story' project. Chris, from Boulder, Colorado, recounts his own spiritual journey and deep connection to Israel, which began in 2007, leading him to theological studies focusing on the relationship between Israel and the church. The duo discusses their different perspectives—Jewish and Gentile, elder and younger—as they aim to bridge the gap between the church and the Jewish people, addressing historical, theological, and contemporary issues. They promise a mix of deep theological exploration, biblical studies, and discussions on modern Israeli issues, including interviews with special guests and tackling hot-button topics like Christian Zionism, replacement theology, church history, modern day Israel and the Israeli-Palestinian conflict. Listeners are invited to join this journey towards understanding and truth.Comments? Questions? Encouragement? We are here for it. Shoot us a text and let us know. We’d love to hear from you!
