Isaac Brickner leads the Los Angeles branch of Jews for Jesus, a 50-year-old ministry with a single focus: relentlessly pursuing God’s plan for the salvation of the Jewish people. In this conversation, Isaac recounts his family’s story—from a businessman’s faithful witness in Ukraine generations ago to his own calling at the Western Wall as God whispered, “They don’t know.”
We unpack identity tension (being Jewish and following Jesus), why the New Testament is deeply Jewish, what “the remnant” means (Romans 9–11), and how the biblical feasts point to Jesus—past and future. We also talk about how Christians can wisely love Jewish neighbors amid rising antisemitism, why “leave them alone” isn’t love, and why the best way to “support Israel” is to bring the hope of the gospel to Israelis and Palestinians alike.
If you’ve ever wondered how to share Jesus with Jewish friends without being pushy—or how to see the Bible’s big story with fresh eyes—this one will steady your heart and sharpen your witness.
