Our host today is our own Kerby Anderson. First up, Kerby welcomes back Jeremiah Johnston, President and Founder of Christian Thinkers Society. Unleashing Peace is Jeremiah’s new book! In the second hour, his guest is Rabbi Jason Sobel. The Rabbi will share his new book, “Mysteries of the Messiah.”
As president of the Christian Thinkers Society and author/co-author of ten books, Jeremiah is passionate about resourcing believers to give intellectually informed reasons for what they believe. He speaks regularly and contributes to national publications and shows, including, Fox News, CNN, USA Today, Relevant, The Christian Post, and several other media outlets.
Jeremiah and his wife, Audrey, along with their five children, live in Texas.
Rabbi Jason received his rabbinic ordination from the UMJC (Union of Messianic Jewish Congregations) in 2005. He has a B.A. in Jewish Studies (Moody) and an M.A. in Intercultural Studies (Southeastern Seminary). He is a sought-after speaker and has made multiple appearances on national television, including the Trinity Broadcasting Network, the Daystar Network, and the Dr. Oz Show. Rabbi Jason is the author of Breakthrough: Living a Life That Overflows, Finding Jesus in the Jewish Holidays, and he is also the co-author of New York Times bestseller The Rock, the Road, and the Rabbi with Kathie Lee Gifford.
Most people do not understand how the Bible fits together—even people of faith. Too many Christians accept half an inheritance in that they are content to embrace merely the New Testament. On the flip side, Jews often experience this by embracing only the Old Testament. But God has an intricate plan and purpose for both.
In Mysteries of the Messiah, Rabbi Jason Sobel, raised in a Jewish home in New Jersey but now a follower of Yeshua, pulls back the curtain to show the many connections in Scripture hidden in plain sight. Known for his emphatic declaration “but there’s more!” he guides readers from the story of creation through Revelation to see the passion and purpose of the Messiah, the Torah, and several of the patriarchs and prophets.
God’s Word, written by many people over thousands of years, is not a random selection of people and stories, but they have intricate connections. Rabbi Jason connects the dots for readers, helping them see with clarity what God intended.
Because, says Chip Ingram, peace isn't a feeling; it's a choice.
