âYour book is our book. Your heroes are our heroes. Your values are our values.â
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 happenedâand 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 Fellowshipâs Yael Eckstein. Moore details his work fighting anti-Semitismâwhich is on the riseâas 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 Fellowshipâs 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.

While The Fellowship does much of its lifesaving work in the Holy Land of Israel, we help Godâs children whenever and wherever they find themselves in need. For more than three decadesâand especially since the ongoing Russian war in Ukraine began in 2022âmuch 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 Fellowshipâs 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 theyâve witnessed and experienced firsthand on the ground in Ukraine, what life is like for Ukraineâs 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 worldâand what The Fellowship and our faithful friends are doing to save their lives.

âHe who saves one life saves the world entire.â
These words from the Talmud have inspired generations of people of faith. And they have certainly influenced the life of this weekâs 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 communityââa minority within a minority,â he says, giving us a brief history of his ancestorsâ food and cultureâand has vowed to be a voice for Godâs 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.

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 eventsâa 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, weâll learn how counting each dayâin the right wayâis the secret to making every day count.

God does not want us to forget His eternal capital!

âThis is like coming back to my roots.â
Thatâs 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 faceâin America and in Israel. But he also uses his voice to talk of the good being done.

Itâs 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 Israelâs 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 Navyâs 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 Israelâs 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!

For many Jews, Yom HaShoah, Israelâs Holocaust Remembrance Day, is deeply personal. Itâs a day to remember one of the darkest times in history that resulted in the horrific murder of six million Jewish souls.
But while Yom HaShoah is a somber day when the entire nation pauses to remember the lives lost at the hands of the Nazis, itâs also a time for all of us to remember the lessons from the Holocaust. And itâs a time when we renew the pledge that the Jewish people adopted after this catastrophic event: Never forget.
Yet as Yael Eckstein reminds us, it is not enough to just remember; we also must take meaningful action. In todayâs powerful podcast, Yael shares two valuable lessons we can learn from the Holocaust about the power of oneâthe value and importance of saving even one life and how even one person can make a tremendous impact in the world.

As the Jewish people celebrate Passover, weâd like to share this inspiring conversation between Yael Eckstein and Bishop Paul Lanier. The two discuss the relevance today of the ancient and timeless Exodus story for both Christians and Jews.
The Passover celebration rallies people of faith around the table and reminds us of who we are in God. And through Passover, we are reminded that God is always with usâthrough our afflictions and our sufferingâbringing us His redemption.

One of the best ways to learn about something is to ask questions. In this special Passover episode, Yael Eckstein explains how the tradition of the Passover seder teaches us to ask questions. In fact, the telling of the Exodus story begins not with facts and explanations, but with questions.
As Yael explains, this time-honored tradition of asking questions during Passover is an annual reminder that God wants us to be lifelong seekers. By asking God our questions and entering Passover with a spirit of curiosity, we are more open to learning, rediscovering, and recommitting to Him on our journey of faith, ultimately, growing ever closer to Him.
Asking questions is a skill that we teach our children at Passover, but itâs an important skill that can help all of us, no matter our age. This episode will show us how!

With March Madness upon us, weâd love to share this favorite conversation between Fellowship President and CEO Yael Eckstein and Coach Bruce Pearl, a legendary college coach whoâs also a strong Jewish voice in todayâs worldâon and off the basketball court.

Michele Bachmann has long been a friend of The Fellowshipâserving on the Boardâand of Israel. But what many might not know is that this American and Christian supporter of Israel also once lived in the Holy Land.
Thatâs right, after graduating high school, Michele spent time living and working on a kibbutz in the Holy Land. Kibbutz Beâeri, where a young Michele lived, came to the worldâs attention in the days following the Hamas attacks of October 7, as it was the community hit hardest along the Gaza border.
Michele stopped by The Fellowshipâs stage at this yearâs National Religious Broadcasters (NRB) convention to speak with Bishop Paul Lanier about her time spent living in Israel, how that shaped her faith and her lifework, how that community faced the terror of 10/7, and what Christians like her are doing to stand for Israel today.

Soon, my family will join Jews around the world to celebrate one of the most joyous holidays on the Jewish calendarâPurim, which commemorates the events written about in the Book of Esther.
During the Purim celebration, Jewish people host parties, share holiday treats with friends, and dress up in costumes and masksâa lot like Halloween. But unlike Halloween, people go door to door in order to give treats, not receive them. And the costumes have nothing to do with ghosts or gore.
As Yael shares on todayâs special Purim episode, this is because the message of Purim is that things arenât always as they seem. We must look beneath the surface to see God in everything, and behind the masks we often wear to see God in every person.

If we want our children to live according to godlyânot worldlyâvalues, then courage is one of the most important values that we can pass down to them.
Courage is celebrated each year during the biblical observance of Purim, which commemorates the story of Queen Esther, whose courageous actions saved the Jewish people from certain annihilation. As Yael shares, it is faith that gave Esther her courage, and courage that gave her the confidence to take a stand for her people. Together, faith and courage have always advanced Godâs work on earth.
Listen to Yaelâs inspiring call to raise the next generation to be âstrong and courageous.â

Tu BâShvat is a Jewish holiday thatâs considered the New Year of the Trees. Tu stands for the number 15, and Shvat is the name of the month in which the holiday falls. The fifteenth of Shvat, which falls in the winter, is the official date of this New Yearâone of four new years on the Jewish calendar!
Tu BâShvat, also called the âbirthday of trees,â takes place in the dead of winter. You might think that the spring, when the trees blossom and bloom, would be a much more appropriate time. Or maybe even autumn, when the trees display their brilliant colors. But winter, when we celebrate the life of the trees, is a time when the trees seem least alive. Many are completely bare and look all but dead. To understand why Tu BâShvat is the New Year for Trees, we have to look beneath the surfaceâŠ
In this episode, Fellowship President and CEO Yael Eckstein shares about the celebration of Tu BâShvat, and the lessons we can learn from this joyous ancient observance.
Listen nowâthen see what you know about this Jewish celebration of Godâs Creation!
