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.
