What if the Bible was never meant to be read as two separate stories?Ron and Matt Davis of The Jewish Road join me for a fascinating conversation about reconnecting what was never meant to be disconnected — the Old and New Testaments, Jews and Gentiles, and the Jewish roots of the Christian faith.We talk about the early Jewish church, God's covenants with Israel, replacement theology, sharing the Gospel with Jewish people, prophecy, the return of Jesus — and why understanding the WHOLE story deepens our understanding of Scripture.THE JEWISH ROADhttps://thejewishroad.com/SUPPORT THE BRIDGEhttps://buy.stripe.com/aFabIU3Ch40o3K28G6bAs01CONNECT WITH THE BRIDGEhttps://linktr.ee/joycedorianThe BridgeHealing the disconnect between Jews and Christians

The gospel is for everyone... but what about the Jewish people?

Should a Lifelong Friendship End Over Israel?In this powerful episode of The Bridge, I sit down with educator, advocate, and speaker Abby Brody to discuss a heartbreaking reality she never expected to face. After October 7, Abby lost her best friend simply because she believes Israel has a right to exist.What began as one personal loss soon revealed a much larger story.
