One New Man
The One New Man podcast is a wide-ranging conversation about Israel, the Jewish people, the Church, and our cultural moment concerning these topics. It is an ongoing conversation between a Messianic Jew, John Myers and a Gentile Christian, Christopher Kuehl. John is the founder of The Israel Story, and an early planter of a Messianic synagogue in Jerusalem, Israel. Chris is the founder of Present Witness. Together, they form the One New Man. You can expect conversations around Christian Zionism, biblical covenants, replacement theology, dispensationalism, covenant theology, church history, difficult verses related to these issues, election, salvation, the Israel / Palestinian conflict, and many other issues. We will also be interacting with arguments and positions all the way back from the church fathers to more modern thinkers like NT Wright and Karl Barth.

Episode 020: The Land of the Bible, A Virtual Experience with Shlomi
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
In this episode, Chris welcomes Shlomi, an Israeli tour guide, to substitute for his usual co-host. They delve into Shlomi's background, his upbringing near Tel Aviv, his traditional Jewish family, and his service in the IDF. Shlomi shares his journey from working at an insurance company to becoming a tour guide, detailing the rigorous training and certification process. They also discuss October 7th, when war erupted between Israel and Gaza, profoundly impacting Shlomi's life and the Israeli tourism industry. Amid the turmoil, Shlomi created an online virtual tour program to help people explore biblical sites and deepen their understanding of the scriptures. This innovative program uses Google Earth and other tools to bridge the gap for those unable to visit Israel. The conversation wraps up with optimism about the future of tourism in Israel and a call for support and engagement from the audience.
