80 – Jesus Is Jewish, and That Changes Everything | Damian Eisner & Jacob Fronczak 55:54

4h ago55:54

55:54

Our tagline here at Messiah Podcast is “Jesus is Jewish, and that changes everything.” But what exactly do we mean by that? What changes specifically? Our guest today, Messianic Jewish Rabbi Damian Eisner, is here for a conversation about what the Jewish Jesus means for Christians and for Jews, and how this seemingly simple historical fact opens up…

The Good Life 27:25

2d ago27:25

27:25

The shofar has sounded. The fast is broken. Now what? Jonah’s story doesn’t end with his mission to Nineveh—it ends with God’s question about how we will live going forward. Jonah is a mirror for us: everyone else in the story submits to God…except the prophet himself. The good life isn’t found in anger, self-pity, or self-provision. It’s found in …

Mercy & Wrath - Erev Yom Kippur 25:46

5d ago25:46

25:46

Traditionally, we read the Book of Jonah on Yom Kippur because it forces us to face a hard question: do we want God’s mercy only for ourselves—or also for our enemies? Jonah wanted wrath for Nineveh. God wanted mercy. And if we’re honest, most of us live with the same tension: mercy for me, wrath for them. But here’s the truth: if God’s mercy isn’t…

The Sign - Shabbat Shavuah 24:12

9d ago24:12

24:12

Jonah’s time in the belly of the fish wasn’t about punishment. It was a sign. What looked like death was actually the doorway to new life. If you’ve been in a season that feels like the end—through pain, loss, or brokenness—God’s goal isn’t your destruction. It’s transformation. That’s the heart of Shabbat Shuvah: real teshuvah (return) means dying…

The Mirror - Erev Rosh Hashanah 26:48

14d ago26:48

26:48

As we begin Rosh Hashanah we attempt to look honestly at ourselves—and the story of Jonah is the perfect mirror. Jonah heard God’s voice clearly, but chose to run. He’s the prophet who wouldn’t repent, while everyone else in the story did. What about us? Are we running—from our past, from God’s calling, from forgiveness? Part 1 of our Jonah series,…

Today, God sets before us the same choice—to receive blessing through obedien…
