Gateway Center for Israel

How do we begin teaching our kids about Israel and the Jewish people? We start with the story. You don’t have to be a theologian or have all the answers. From an early age, we can introduce our children to Abraham, God’s covenant promises, and the Jewish people at the center of Scripture. In this episode of Covenant & Conflict, Nic and Tabatha share how parents can help their children understand Israel, recognize their place in God’s redemptive story, and grow in gratitude for the Jewish people.

“Identity is formed in the story.” When we skip from Genesis 3 to Matthew 1, we miss a massive part of the biblical story… one that reveals who God is, how He works through His people, and how Israel and the nations fit into His redemptive plan. Without that foundation, we risk losing sight of Israel’s identity and our own relationship to the Jewish people. In this episode of Covenant & Conflict, Nic and Tabatha explore why understanding the whole story of Scripture matters and how we can help the next generation see their place in it.

Our kids are asking questions about Israel and the Jewish people that many of us have never had to wrestle with. They’re hearing competing voices, navigating conflicting perspectives, and trying to make sense of it all. In this episode of Covenant & Conflict, Nic and Tabatha share what they’re learning through conversations with their 14-year-old daughter and why it’s time for Christians to go deeper in their biblical understanding of Israel and the Jewish people.

Has God rejected Israel? In Jeremiah 31, God compares His commitment to Israel to the fixed order of creation. As surely as the sun, moon, and stars remain, His promises to His people endure. Yet many Christians have inherited a theology that suggests Israel’s rejection of Jesus resulted in God’s rejection of Israel. In this episode of Covenant & Conflict, Nic and Tabatha unpack the biblical story of Israel, God’s covenant faithfulness, and why understanding these promises matters for how we read Scripture and teach the next generation.

Sometimes the seeds we plant through conversations about Jesus take root in ways we never get to see. Trysten Tice shares how conversations with her Jewish mother about the Old Testament, Isaiah 53, and Jesus as the Messiah eventually led to something incredible. What began as a mother simply showing up to support her daughter became a personal encounter with Jesus and a life transformed. A beautiful reminder that God is working even when we can’t see it.

One encounter with Yeshua changed everything. When Rabbi Marty Waldman, the son of Holocaust survivors, publicly gave his life to Jesus, he had no idea how radically his life was about to change. What followed was a powerful experience of deliverance, an infilling of the Holy Spirit, and a prophetic word that would help shape his calling. He left with a burning desire to bring the hope of Yeshua to his own Jewish community.

Never forget. Never stop praying. Show love to your Jewish brothers and sisters. “As one whom his mother comforts, so I will comfort you; you shall be comforted in Jerusalem.”

What happens when Jews and Gentiles come together in true unity? Rabbi Marty Waldman shares how this kind of unity can become a catalyst for reconciliation across even the deepest divisions. From Catholics and Protestants in Spain weeping, repenting, and embracing one another, he has witnessed what can happen when the Holy Spirit moves through a unified Body. Unity between Jews and Gentiles isn’t just significant. It may be a missing link.

For Rabbi Marty Waldman, believing in Jesus felt like a betrayal of his family, his history, and the Jewish community he loved. As the son of Holocaust survivors, Yeshua was someone he couldn’t even allow himself to consider. Until God began drawing him in a way he couldn’t explain. That encounter changed the course of his life and eventually led him into a calling for reconciliation and unity between Jews and Gentiles in the Body of Messiah.

What happens when we know Jesus in His divinity, but miss His humanity? For Petra Scott, discovering the Jewish context of Jesus felt like meeting Messiah all over again. Hear the full conversation on The Covenant & Conflict Podcast. #israel #covenantandconflict #podcast #bibleteaching
