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.

This episode is a divergence of the normal ONM topics. This episode was recorded with Chris's wife, Justice a few weeks ago. We felt the topic was important enough to share with the ONM audience as well. In this thought-provoking episode Justice and her husband Chris Kuehl delve into the explosive aftermath of Charlie Kirk's tragic assassination. Join them as they discuss the intricate web of theories surrounding his death, including controversial claims by Candace Owens and Tucker Carlson. This episode unpacks Charlie's heartfelt beliefs about Israel and his interaction with influential figures. Discover the heart of the controversy, the spiritual reflections sparked by recent events, and a heartfelt call for discernment amidst rising misinformation. Tune in for an episode that blends a deep dive into modern political dynamics with a profound spiritual journey.

In this episode of 'One New Man,' Chris rejoins John after a hiatus to interview 'T,' a Messianic Jewish believer who recently completed seven years in the Israeli Defense Forces (IDF) as a combat engineer. T recounts his experiences, shedding light on the complex responsibilities and moral dilemmas faced by IDF soldiers in Gaza, especially regarding the use of explosives and encounters with IEDs. T shares personal stories of bravery, loss, and the relentless pursuit to protect civilian lives, revealing the harsh realities and ethical constraints the IDF operates under. The discussion also delves into the broader societal and spiritual impact on both Israeli and Gazan communities, the support and challenges within the Messianic Jewish community, and the delicate balance of maintaining faith and duty. T emphasizes the critical role of global understanding and support for Israel while cautioning against spiritual and ideological misconceptions.
