Inside The Epicenter With Joel Rosenberg

Half a century ago, there were fewer than 2,000 Jews who believed Jesus was the Messiah. Today, there are approximately one million worldwide.  In this episode of Inside, The Epicenter with Joel Rosenberg, Joel and Carl discuss today’s incredible phenomenon—more and more people of Jewish descent coming to Jesus. Joel tells listeners about the English & Hebrew video testimonies that are getting millions of views and encourages the Church to boldly share the Gospel with the Jewish people, despite the obstacles. Joel also talks about the lack of interest in this topic by even the Christian media. He discusses a recent film – written and directed by two Jewish men, Stephen Spielberg & Tony Kushner – that depicts Christian and Jewish cultures mingling in a surprising and entertaining way.   Listen to this episode to find out more.   Learn more about The Joshua FundMake a tax-deductible donationThe Joshua Fund Stock Media provided by DimmySad/Pond5    (02:48) Follower of Jesus tries to Convert Steven Spielberg(07:00) How do We Know There are a Million Jewish Believers?(08:36) What is Leading This Movement of Messianic Jews?(13:44) Videos That the Jewish People Can’t Stop Watching(23:01) What Does the Bible Prophecy that “All Israel Will Be Saved” Mean?(27:20) The Conversation Joel DOESN’T Want to Have with Jesus Discover more Christian podcasts at lifeaudio.com and inquire about advertising opportunities at lifeaudio.com/contact-us.
