🎙️ Jew & Gentile Podcast — Episode [#209]
Title: “The Shower Sandwich Saint, Open My Eyes That I May See, Netanyahu’s Gaza Gamble, and Mechiah”

In This Episode:
Steve returns from Chicago with heartwarming and hilarious listener stories—including one involving a shower, a sandwich, and a plugged drain. We reflect on Psalm 119, explore cruise dreams, and tackle headlines from around the world and Israel. Plus, don’t miss two exciting FOI Equip classes coming this fall!

🧼 Listener Story: Sandwich in the Shower
A beloved listener—famous for eating a sandwich in the shower while listening to the podcast—is now with the Lord.
His daughter shared:

“The shower drain was clogged. I pulled out sandwich bags and candy wrappers. I don’t know what he was doing in there, but I know he felt better with the water falling on him.”
Rest well, 8th Listener. You made us laugh and left your mark (in the pipes).

Also… multiple people in Wisconsin and Chicago claim to be the “8th Listener.” The legend grows.
