• Why Christians Support Israel
    Jun 18 2025

    “Your book is our book. Your heroes are our heroes. Your values are our values.”

    After years of helping grow the unprecedented Christian support we see for Israel and the Jewish people we see today, that is the answer that Rev. Dr. Johnnie Moore has long heard for why this special relationship has happened—and is still growing.

    The special friendship between Christians and Jews is certainly needed now more than ever, too, says Rev. Moore in this conversation with The Fellowship’s Yael Eckstein. Moore details his work fighting anti-Semitism—which is on the rise—as he also works to help persecuted Christians.

    With work that has helped people of faith in America, in Israel, and all around the world, Moore helped pave the way for the historic Abraham Accords, has served on the U.S. Commission on International Religious Freedom in the past two American presidencies, sits on The Fellowship’s board, and is a guiding light to people of faith everywhere.

    Join Yael for this conversation with a Christian friend of Israel and the Jewish people whose lifework is to spread this friendship, this fellowship, and this faith.

  • On the Ground, Saving Lives
    Jun 11 2025

    While The Fellowship does much of its lifesaving work in the Holy Land of Israel, we help God’s children whenever and wherever they find themselves in need. For more than three decades—and especially since the ongoing Russian war in Ukraine began in 2022—much of that work has been done in the former Soviet Union (FSU).

    Bishop Paul Lanier has made many trips to visit Fellowship-supported projects in Ukraine, and to visit with and provide aid to Jewish beneficiaries in the war-torn country. And Gadi Teichman Dan, Sr. Director of Content in The Fellowship’s Israel office, has not only made many such trips himself, he is an Israeli who immigrated from the region as a child.

    Gadi sat down with Bishop Lanier to discuss what they’ve witnessed and experienced firsthand on the ground in Ukraine, what life is like for Ukraine’s Jewish communities, and what hope is provided by Fellowship aliyah flights.

    Join these two men of faith and action for this important discussion about what Jews are experiencing around the world—and what The Fellowship and our faithful friends are doing to save their lives.

  • Allied Voices for Israel
    Jun 4 2025

    “He who saves one life saves the world entire.”

    These words from the Talmud have inspired generations of people of faith. And they have certainly influenced the life of this week’s podcast guest, Allied Voices for Israel Founder, Daniel Koren.

    An Israeli and a Canadian. A former journalist and a current shaper of the next generation. Daniel is of the Bukharian Jewish community—“a minority within a minority,” he says, giving us a brief history of his ancestors’ food and culture—and has vowed to be a voice for God’s people and a voice against hatred.

    Sharing with Yael about his own place in the Jewish world, how music led his choices in both career and embracing his culture and faith, and the challenges and rewards of fighting anti-Semitism in our troubled world, Daniel sits down with Yael to discuss what we all can do to be advocates for Israel and spread its light to the nations.

    Join us for this important conversation about fighting hate and spreading light as advocates and allies for Israel!

  • Counting the Days
    May 28 2025

    As a kid, did you count down the days until school ended and summer began? I know I did! And even as grownups, we count down the days to important events—a milestone birthday, a wedding, an anniversary, or a graduation.

    But when we count down the days, we can disregard them as mere obstacles to get through in order to reach the big event, rather than as the priceless gift that each day is.

    As we prepare to celebrate Shavuot, the Bible teaches us to count each day in a way that celebrates the moment. On this episode, we’ll learn how counting each day—in the right way—is the secret to making every day count.

    Find out what you know about Shavuot by taking our quiz!

  • Jerusalem: The Holy City
    May 21 2025

    This month, Jews in Israel celebrate Jerusalem Day—Yom Yerushalayim—commemorating the miraculous reunification of God’s Holy City after the Six-Day War of 1967.

    But as Yael Eckstein explains, we ALL—Christians and Jews—should celebrate Jerusalem! Not only is it God’s designated place where His Holy Temple once stood—and will someday stand again—but as the psalmist says, “If I forget you, Jerusalem, may my right hand forget its skill” (Psalm 137:5).

    God does not want us to forget His eternal capital!

    Join Yael as she explores the spiritual significance of Jerusalem and why its historical reunification is so important. Let’s praise God for the miracles He has done—and is doing—in Jerusalem!

    Learn more about Jerusalem and how God’s children celebrate His Holy City.

  • Ben Ferguson—A Strong Voice for Good
    May 14 2025

    “This is like coming back to my roots.”

    That’s what Ben Ferguson said when he sat down with Yael Eckstein at the National Religious Broadcasters (NRB) Conference in Dallas, TX. Ben began his career in Christian radio when he was just 12 years old, and attended his first NRB at 13, so he felt right at home as he talked with Yael about his lifework being a voice for what is right.

    A friend of Israel and of The Fellowship, Ben talks about using his platform to tell people about what is going on in the world, and of the many threats that people who have faith and who love freedom face—in America and in Israel. But he also uses his voice to talk of the good being done.

  • The IDF—The Strength of Our People
    Apr 30 2025

    It’s always an honor to meet our heroes. And recently, The Fellowship was able to do just that.

    Captain Guy Barak is truly a watchman on Israel’s walls. Having served in the Israel Navy for 26 years, Captain Barak has seen not only the many threats that the Jewish state faces on a daily basis, but has helped face those threats head-on. And in his current roles as the Israel Navy’s attache to the United States and the Israel Defense Forces (IDF) military attache to the United Nations, Captain Barak brings both his own experiences and Israel’s message of truth and light to the world.

    Captain Barak sat down with The Fellowship for a conversation in which he discussed his own experiences on October 7, 2023, as well as what Israel has faced in the many months of war since.

    This is a must-watch conversation for all who stand with Israel. Join us today!
