The Jewish Road PodcastThe Massacre In Syria No One's Talking About (featuring Mansor Ashkar)While global attention remains locked on Gaza, another atrocity is unfolding across the border in Syria - and almost no one is talking about it.
In this episode of The Jewish Road Podcast, Matt and Ron Davis speak with Mansor Ashkar, a prominent Israeli Druze leader, to expose the silent ethnic cleansing of the Druze people by radical Sunni factions.
These are Israel’s allies - men who serve in the IDF, who have bled and died protecting Jewish lives - now watching their extended families be slaughtered just across the border.

Episode 113: "Don't Sit This One Out: Stand Like Esther with Your Vote"
With division on every front, some believers are stepping back, declaring "Jesus 2024: Our Only Hope." While it's a powerful reminder to keep our eyes on Him, it’s simply not enough to watch from the sidelines. Our faith calls us to be active, engaged, and responsible in our world - not passive spectators. This episode dives into why Christians must participate in the democratic process, even when it feels intimidating or divisive.
Drawing from the story of Esther, Ron and Matt di...2024-11-0415 minThe Jewish Road PodcastFirst-Century Youth Ministry (featuring Heather Quiroz)Summary

Empires and Kingdoms.
A moment to contextualize the moment we find ourselves in, what’s happening in our world today. The stage is being set. The actors are taking their place. The classic battle between allegiance to empire or kingdom is being waged. As we have gone through history, we have seen the Pharaohs building their empire demanding total commitment through oppression against the backdrop of a God leading His people through the wilderness, like a shepherd leads His sheep. We have seen empire rear its ugly head: Nebuchadnezzar and the empire of Babylon, Herod and the em...2022-03-1630 minThe Jewish Road PodcastWho Is This Child, Born Of A Virgin?Jesus did NOT begin His existence with His birth out of the womb of Mary.
He is the eternal Son of God. He “became” flesh in the womb of Mary through the supernatural work of the Ruach Hakodesh (Holy Spirit). It was a miracle from the beginning to end!
We want the birth of Jesus to be relevant to our Jewish people as the Messiah intended it to be.
We want to highlight the incarnation through Jewish eyes and provide an understanding of what this word, incarnation, could mean if you are a Jew r...2021-12-2429 minThe Jewish Road PodcastWhat Is Unique About The Messiah’s Birth?THE MESSIAH WAS TO BE BORN OF A VIRGIN.
When we approach the subject of the virgin birth, whether Jew or Gentile, we tend to think about the story we are most familiar with: Mary and Joseph, the baby in the manger, angels and shepherds. Though this miracle is a complicated thing to explain, we are dancing in familiar space in the Christian world. For us Jews, exploring this topic means we have wandered into foreign territory that’s “not for us.” At least that’s what our mothers told us.
The subject we’re talking abo...2021-12-2418 minThe Jewish Road PodcastWhen Will The Messiah Be Born?Question number two in our series is, "When will the Messiah be born?" Knowing WHEN the Messiah (Jesus) would come is important to know whether He has actually already come, is still yet to come, or maybe even both.
THE MESSIAH MUST COME WHILE THE SECOND TEMPLE WAS STILL STANDING.
“Behold, I send my messenger, and he will prepare the way before me. And the Lord whom you seek will suddenly come to his temple; and the messenger of the covenant in whom you delight, behold, he is coming, says the Lord of hosts.” (Malachi 3:1)
2021-12-2422 minThe Jewish Road PodcastWhere Will The Messiah Be Born?
It's December, and the Jewish people are once again bombarded with confusing messages about Christmas. Instead of trying to make sense of it all, we usually go to the movies and order in Chinese food.
The problem is that many of these messages are not only inaccurate but they also present a false picture of the incarnation and who Jesus really is.
On one hand, when approaching Christmas, the Jewish people can see it as embracing a "cultural Christmas" with the trees, tinsel, and Santa Claus.
On the other hand, the other option the Jewish people see is to embrace the...2021-12-2431 minThe Jewish Road PodcastShould Christians Celebrate Hanukkah?Are you looking for a way to celebrate Hanukkah with your family? Should you as a Christian even celebrate Hanukkah? Is it allowed?

This is a festival to celebrate their harvest and remember how God provided and protected them in the desert. His Presence was also "with" the people, and we track the Presence of God throughout the Bible.
The Feast of Booths (or Sukkot in Hebrew) is also a time where the Jewish people give thanks for all that God has given them. In this episode, we will explore what this ancient Jewish tradition means, why it was important to Jesus' disciples during his ministry, and...2021-09-2426 minThe Jewish Road PodcastFeast Of Booths - Act OneSukkot commemorates the 40 years Moses spent leading Jews out of slavery and into freedom. It takes place on the 15th day of the seventh month on the Hebrew Calendar, Tishri, or Sunday, September 19, 2021. From there it goes on for eight days.
Jewish tradition teaches that to remember our time in the desert, we should build a sukkah (booth) at home and decorate it with palm branches and leafy boughs of trees, and hang fruit from the makeshift ceiling, both of which are meant to remind us of Israel's harvest season.

It is the last day of the Days of Awe, and it's time to take stock in our lives. On this Day of Atonement, we are supposed to live with a spirit of repentance and be thankful for forgiveness.
As Jewish followers of the Messiah, our atonement was secured as Jesus was crucified on that cursed tree. There is nothing more we can do to earn ourselves forgiveness or atonement, it has already been provided for us. What is left is for us to receive it.

Since the beginning, man has been in search of something to do with sin. From the account in Act One with Adam and Eve (Genesis 3) in the garden, to the story of Ananias and Saphira (Acts 5) in Act Two, our first response is to hide from others, but especially an All-Knowing God.
During these "Days Of Awe," the 10 days between the Feast of Trumpets and the Day of Atonement, the Jewish community symbolically casts their sins into the depths of the sea.
