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.

Is God a Zionist?
That's the question that Chris' upcoming book seeks to answer, and the one we start to dive into today as we return to the podcast with our first episode of season 3 of One New Man.
This episode was a primer for what's coming up this season, where John and Chris are going to be teasing apart Chris' new book, really going in depth to discuss the answer to the question we think ALL Christians need to answer.
There are enormous theological and cultural consequences to being on the wrong side of this, and with all the noise we're seeing in the media and culture lately, it's vital that Christians are well-informed and know God's word on this topic.
Make sure to listen to this episode to get a solid baseline of understanding so that you can follow along as we continue to unpack each chapter of the book in future podcast episodes.
