The Jewish Road Podcast
Many Christians struggle to make sense of the Old Testament, or quietly wonder if it still matters. Many Jewish people have never seriously considered Jesus. But what if the two parts of the story were never meant to be separated? Hosted by Jewish followers of Jesus, Matt and Ron Davis, this podcast connects the Hebrew Scriptures with the hope of Messiah found in the New Testament. We tell the story of Israel and help Israel tell her story. God made a promise. God keeps His promises. He’s not done with Israel. And neither are we.

What if you’ve been reading the Bible in black and white… when it was meant to be in technicolor?
David Mack, founder of BLAC Ministries (Biblical Learning and Application Community), joins Matt and Ron to share how discovering the Jewishness of Jesus transformed his walk and his teaching.
From a life-changing encounter with Arnold Fruchtenbaum to building global discipleship resources translated into Swahili, Urdu, and Spanish, David’s journey is rooted in reclaiming the full biblical story.
They explore why Torah still matters, how modern churches often sideline Israel, and why a Star of David baseball cap stirred everything from conversations to controversy.
With humility and passion, David calls the Church to return to its Jewish foundation - not just for theological accuracy, but for spiritual vitality.
Key Takeaways
The Bible in Full Color: The Jewish context of Scripture brings both Old and New Testaments into clearer focus.

Friday Aug 22, 2025
Jerusalem isn’t just a city - it’s the heartbeat of history.
In this episode, recorded on the eve of Jerusalem Day, Amir Mor, a seasoned tour guide and native Israeli, walks us through the story of Jerusalem like few can.
From King David’s capital to Montefiore’s daring vision, from the Six-Day War to October 7th, Amir shares not only the triumphs but the traumas that have shaped Israel’s soul.
But this isn’t only about history. It’s about faith, resilience, and the question echoing across centuries: Where is God in the struggle?
Amir’s stories - personal, raw, and powerful - give us a window into Israel’s pain, its perseverance, and its unshakable hope.
As anti-Semitism rises worldwide, Amir reminds us that truth still matters. Evil is real. But so is redemption. And in the middle of war, prayer, and tears, there is a greater story unfolding.
Listen in, and let this journey through Jerusalem stir your heart for Israel, deepen your understanding of its history, and call you to stand for truth in a world upside down.
Key Takeaways
Jerusalem has been the Jewish capital for 3,000 years, yet its freedom has been fought over again and again.
Yom Yerushalayim (Jerusalem Day) marks the reunification of the city in 1967 - a prophetic turning point for the Jewish people.
October 7th shattered Israel’s sense of safety, yet stories of survival reveal remarkable courage and unity.
Coexistence in Jerusalem is far more real than the media portrays, though tensions remain.
God’s presence is evident even in war - seen in soldiers lighting candles, praying, and clinging to faith.
The rise of global anti-Semitism demands a clear stand for truth and for Israel.

From Lebanese Militia Fighter to Israeli Pastor (featuring Pierre Altuna)
Friday Aug 15, 2025
Friday Aug 15, 2025
What happens when a boy grows up in the crossfire of Lebanon’s civil war, trains in Israel’s military camps, and survives a bomb blast by a miracle? Pastor Pierre Altuna’s life is a mix of danger, loss, and unexpected grace.
From being kidnapped by the PLO to fighting Hezbollah, his story is filled with moments where death seemed certain - until God intervened.
But this is more than a soldier’s memoir. It’s the journey of a man who knew “Christian” only as a label - until relentless love from his wife and a persistent pastor led him to surrender to Yeshua.
Now leading a vibrant Messianic congregation in northern Israel, Pastor Pierre stands as both shepherd and protector, guiding his flock through rockets, war, and the hope of reconciliation between Jew and Gentile.
This is faith forged in fire, hope born in the shadow of conflict, and a call to stand with Israel for the sake of God’s Kingdom.
Key Takeaways
Lebanon’s Civil War shaped his identity - and his understanding of survival.
Kidnapped by the PLO - rescued only through family intervention.
Trained in Israel - learning the mindset of Hezbollah.
Survived a bombing - a helmet swap he calls a miracle.
From cultural Christian to believer - through his wife’s faith and a persistent pastor.
Leads a multi-ethnic Messianic congregation in Nahariya, near the Lebanese border.
Equips soldiers - providing gear, training, and spiritual encouragement.
Sees Israel as a living picture of resurrection after the Holocaust.
Prays for peace between Israel and Lebanon like the days of Solomon and King Hiram.

One New Man in a Divided Europe (featuring Sebastiaan van Wessem)
Tuesday Aug 12, 2025
Tuesday Aug 12, 2025
What happens when a Dutch pastor encounters the living heartbeat of Jerusalem?
Sebastiaan van Wessem shares his journey from a seminary-trained, Western lens to a Bible interpreted through first-century Jewish eyes.
From his first trip to Israel to the relaunch of KNGDM Alliance - with Jerusalem at its center - Sebastiaan has been on a mission to unite Jew and Gentile under Messiah.
But this vision unfolds in the shadow of rising antisemitism across Europe. From street protests to political battles over Israel’s right to defend itself, Sebastiaan exposes the spiritual forces at work and the cost of standing with God’s chosen people.
In this episode, you’ll hear how the One New Man isn’t theory - it’s a prophetic calling that challenges the Church to live as a united testimony before the Lord’s return.
Key Takeaways
First-century eyes change everything - reading Scripture as Jesus’ listeners did transforms theology and practice.
Jerusalem must be the center - God’s plan for His Kingdom flows from Zion.
Antisemitism is alive and escalating - from soccer riots to parliamentary moves against Israel.
One New Man is more than unity - it’s Jew and Gentile, distinct yet one in Messiah.
Prophecy is unfolding - growing global hostility toward Israel affirms the Bible’s truth.
The Church must demonstrate, not just teach - unity has to be lived, not only preached.
Partnership with Messianic Jews is vital - relationship precedes mission.
The Great Commission and Israel are linked - God’s timing involves Jew and Gentile together proclaiming the Kingdom.

He once burned with hatred for Israel. Now, he’s rebuilding bridges from Nazareth to Jerusalem, from Arabs to Jews, and from division to divine reconciliation.
In this riveting episode, Dr. Rev. Saleem Shalash shares his extraordinary journey - raised as a Catholic Arab in Israel, hardened by bitterness, and unexpectedly wrecked by grace. A tragic accident. A voice from heaven. A Bible in his hands for the first time.
But this isn’t just a personal conversion story - it’s a call to the Church, to the nations, and to anyone willing to see beyond headlines and into the heart of God.
From confronting replacement theology to launching a humanitarian aid center that serves Jews and Arabs alike, Saleem is living proof that Jesus is still building bridges.
Key Takeaways
Identity with Depth: Saleem is an Arab Israeli believer - not a convert from Islam, but a lifelong Christian navigating complex identities in the land of Israel.
A Tragic Catalyst: The death of a friend forces a deep spiritual reckoning, leading to a radical encounter with God.
From Religion to Relationship: His path led through doctrine, but it was mercy that truly changed him.
The Eldest Son Syndrome: A powerful revelation from the story of the Prodigal Son unveils a common spiritual pride within the Church.
Hatred Healed by the Spirit: A supernatural moment in prayer replaces years of hatred for the Jewish people with overwhelming love.
Jesus in the Old Testament: Saleem rediscovers his Bible, this time finding Yeshua in every chapter - from Genesis to Malachi.
Bridge Builders in Action: Through Home of Jesus the King Church, he brings food, aid, and the gospel to Arabs, Jews, refugees, and Muslims alike.
Challenging the Church: A strong rebuke to Western Christianity for turning from God’s promises to Israel.
Cultural Keys: How understanding ancient Jewish culture unlocks deeper meaning in Scripture.

Jesus Was Not a Christian (featuring Scott Volk)
Tuesday Aug 05, 2025
Tuesday Aug 05, 2025
Jesus wasn’t a Christian. He was a Jew. That truth alone is enough to unravel centuries of misunderstanding - and stir up the spiritual resistance of our age.
In this powerful episode, Scott Volk shares his deeply personal journey from being an "ignorant Jewish pastor" to leading a global ministry that blesses both Jews and Arabs in the name of Yeshua.
With passion and clarity, Scott dismantles replacement theology, calls the Church to awaken from its apathy, and reminds us that Israel holds the key to God’s redemptive plan for the world.
From heartfelt humor to prophetic fire, this is more than theology. It’s a wake-up call for the Church to embrace the Jewishness of Jesus, God’s eternal promises, and the unity He desires among all people.
Key Takeaways
Jesus was never a Christian. He was, is, and always will be Jewish - and understanding that reshapes everything.
The Church is missing a crucial piece. Without Israel, we don’t just miss context - we miss God's plan.
Ignorance isn’t innocence. Even well-meaning pastors can miss the heart of God without revelation.
God chose the weak - not the worthy. Israel isn’t superior. It’s chosen to showcase God’s glory.
Anti-Zionism often masks anti-Semitism. Scott draws a straight line from Haman to Hamas.
We need a four-fold response: Pray. Provoke. Proclaim. Provide. This is how the Church blesses Israel biblically.
Revival hinges on Israel. Romans 11 calls the salvation of the Jewish people “life from the dead.”
True unity doesn’t erase ethnicity. It celebrates the One who redeems every tribe, tongue, and nation.
God gets the glory - not Israel, not America, not us. Humility is the only posture for this moment.

Is Israel Starving the Palestinians? (featuring Yair Pinto)

Friday Aug 01, 2025
Is Israel Starving Palestinians? A Firsthand Report from the Border
There’s a growing claim in the global media that Israel is blocking food and aid from reaching Palestinians in Gaza. But what’s actually happening on the ground?
In this episode, we’re joined by Yair Pinto, an Israeli believer, IDF reservist, and voice on TBN Israel. Yair recently returned from a UN distribution facility near the Gaza border, where millions of meals are sitting untouched—spoiling in the heat. From what he’s seen firsthand, the problem isn’t the supply. It’s the systems of control and obstruction.
Together, we take a closer look at how Hamas and the UN are shaping the flow of humanitarian aid, the double standards Israel continues to face, and what we can do to cut through the confusion from afar.
If you’ve been trying to sort out what’s real and what’s rhetoric, this is an episode worth your time.
Key Takeaways:
October 7 wasn’t just a terror attack - it launched a war across multiple fronts, including the battlefield of global opinion.
Yair’s unique voice - as an IDF soldier, a Messianic Jew, and a media communicator - brings clarity few can offer.
The truth about humanitarian aid: Israel sends it. Hamas steals it. The UN looks the other way.
The war is spiritual: Satan hates a faithful God - and Israel is His proof.
The media war is being lost - but truth still has a remnant.
Israel’s fight is defensive, not imperial: It’s survival against genocidal hatred.
Many Palestinians remain under the grip of Hamas ideology, not because of race or religion, but radical indoctrination.
Even amidst sirens and rockets, God is still doing miracles in Israel.
Prayer matters - especially for the children, the hostages, and even for Israel’s enemies.

From the Bomb Shelter Capital of the World (featuring Michael Beener)
Tuesday Jul 29, 2025
Tuesday Jul 29, 2025
On October 7, 2023, the city of Sderot became one of the first places Hamas unleashed its brutal assault. But right there - in a city riddled with bullet holes, bomb shelters on every corner, and stories of terrorized children - there’s something unexpected: life.
In this gripping and emotional episode, we sit down with Pastor Michael, leader of City of Life Ministries, just steps from the rubble where terrorists stormed and slaughtered innocent police officers on that Shabbat morning.
He takes us into the chaos of those early hours, the miracle that spared his apartment building, and what it’s like to raise a family under rocket fire - with just 15 seconds to run for cover.
But this isn’t just a story of survival. It’s a story of spiritual resistance. Of staying. Of blessing. Of building a community that not only endures, but proclaims hope in Yeshua despite pressure, persecution, and war.
This episode reveals what the global headlines miss: how God is still writing His story in the land of Israel - even when the world wants to erase it.
Key Takeaways:
The October 7 Attack in Sderot: Pastor Michael recounts how Hamas deliberately targeted the local police station - killing friends and neighbors - while miraculously sparing nearby residents.
Raising Families Under Fire: For over two decades, families in Sderot have lived under constant rocket threat. Bomb shelters aren’t just safety - they’re part of daily life.
A Ministry of Life in a City of Death: City of Life Ministries feeds the hungry, counsels the traumatized, shelters the displaced, and proclaims the eternal hope found in Yeshua - right in the heart of a war zone.
Opposition from Within: While Hamas wages war outside, ultra-Orthodox communities protest against Messianic Jews inside. Pastor Michael shares the spiritual and legal battles they’ve faced and how they keep loving their enemies.
The Bigger Picture: What if this war is stirring both Jews and Christians toward a deeper prophetic return - to the land, to the Scriptures, and to one another? Pastor Michael unpacks a theopolitical vision of what God might be doing in our time.

The Massacre In Syria No One's Talking About (featuring Mansor Ashkar)
Wednesday Jul 23, 2025
Wednesday Jul 23, 2025
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.
Some have taken matters into their own hands, crossing illegally into Syria in an attempt to rescue their relatives.
This episode is not only a wake-up call - it’s a moral reckoning. Why is the world silent? And what does this mean for Christians and Jews who claim to care about justice?
Key Takeaways:
The Druze community is facing targeted violence in Syria, yet global media coverage is virtually nonexistent.
Mansor Ashkar sheds light on the history, loyalty, and sacrifice of the Druze people, and their deep connection to Israel.
Some Israeli Druze soldiers are risking everything to save family across the border.
This isn’t just a military story - it’s a humanitarian crisis happening in real time.
Matt and Ron call on listeners to see the spiritual and moral dimensions of this moment.
