The Jewish Road PodcastStill Chosen: Did God Make an Unconditional Covenant With Abraham?The question of Israel’s chosenness isn’t abstract - it’s foundational.
If God’s covenant with Abraham is conditional, then Israel’s future and even our own assurance in Christ are uncertain. But if it’s unconditional, then God’s faithfulness to Abraham secures hope for us all.
In this episode, Ron and Matt Davis trace the Abrahamic covenant from Genesis 12, 15, and 17. They unpack the ancient covenant-cutting ceremony, the unconditional nature of God’s promise, and how the Mosaic covenant fits alongside it.
They also show how the New Testament reaffirms - not erases - God...
2025-09-1938 minThe Jewish Road PodcastStill Chosen: Why Are So Many Christians Confused About Israel Right Now?For many Christians, the ground feels like it’s shifting under their feet. You grew up hearing “pray for the peace of Jerusalem,” then watched trusted voices say, “the church is the new Israel.” Add the noise of social feeds and the headlines of 2025, and it’s easy to wonder who to trust.
In this new season, our theme is Still Chosen: Dispelling the Israel Delusion. Matt and Ron open the Scriptures and the conversation. They name three forces driving confusion today: cultural pressure, theological drift (especially replacement theology’s fresh packaging), and pastoral silence that leaves a vacuum fille...

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.

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...

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!

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...

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.

2011-09-1400 minConfessions Of An EMS Newbie Podcast60 Licensed To Raise The Dead(25:57) Ron has his cardiology finals. Both the written, which was a third of my grade, and the practical which was 3% and got him his ACLS card. But it was 3% if you don’t pass, you don’t pass the course.
Now he’s asking Kelly, is cardiology really that hard?
Do you know when you are stressed out? Turns out the Newbie didn’t.
