How Did Christianity Disconnect from its Jewish Foundations? An Interview with David Blease

In this riveting discussion, Jeff talks to David Blease, Director of the Center for Israel at Gateway Church in Texas. They explore how Christianity, although entirely a Jewish sect in the First Century, became a separate religion that has largely lost its connection to Judaism. David Blease is an American pastor, Christian influencer, and podcast host. He is the Teaching Pastor at “Gateway Center for Israel” and a host for the “Covenant & Conflict” podcast series. David graduated from The King’s University in 2016 with a degree in Christian Studies.In 2012, David attended the Gateway Conference, where he learned the Jewish context of scripture which significantly reshaped his understanding of the Bible. This newfound understanding helped deepen David’s relationship with God, his passion for Israel, and his love for the Jewish people. He now dedicates much of his time to teaching the Church how to develop and foster a sincere love for Israel and the Jewish people. David Blease and his wife (Mikayla Blease) have three children and live in Dallas/Fort Worth.You can learn more about Center for Israel here: https://centerforisrael.com https://gatewaypeople.com/ Support the showIf you enjoy our podcast, please consider supporting the show HERE so that our Bible-based message about Israel can continue.
