In episode three of the One New Man Podcast, host Chris, from Present Witness, talks with his close friend John Myers, founder of The Israel Story, about the relationship between Israel, the Church, and the Jewish people. They recap the previous week's discussion on God's call to Abram and the covenant promises made to him. This episode focuses on how the Old Testament affirms the covenant with Abraham and examines theological questions about the relationship between the Old and New Testament covenants. Chris and John also discuss the ongoing relevance of Israel and its land in God's plan, emphasizing the continued importance of the Abrahamic covenant even in light of New Testament teachings. The conversation is interwoven with personal dynamics, including Chris's anecdotes about expecting a second child and his recent lifestyle shifts. The episode features in-depth scripture analyses from both Testaments, touching on passages from Genesis, Psalms, Romans, Galatians, and Acts, as well as the thoughts of notable theologians. The dialogue emphasizes that the promises and covenants made with Israel remain significant and relevant, challenging interpretations that suggest the New Testament supersedes or nullifies them.
