  Why I Wrote the New Olive Tree Affirmations Book: Jews, Christians, and the Olive Tree

  Sep 22, 20268 min

  Send us Fan Mail The new Olive Tree Affirmations book is officially here! In this special episode, Ryan Lambert shares the story and vision behind his new book and explains why he believes its message is especially important right now. At a time of rising antisemitism, many Christians genuinely want to stand with the Jewish people but aren't always sure what that means biblically, theologically, or practically. Drawing from Paul’s Olive Tree metaphor in Romans 11, Ryan explores why the Church’s relationship with the Jewish people is not a peripheral issue, but one that touches Christian identity itself. Discover the vision behind ten biblical affirmations designed to challenge replacement theology and antisemitism, honor the Jewish people, and help build healthier relationships between Jews and Christians.

  The Challenge and Power of Changing Our Minds: A Reflection for the Jewish New Year

  Sep 8, 20266 min

  Send us Fan Mail As Rosh Hashanah and the Jewish year 5787 approach, Ryan Lambert shares a few personal reflections on something that can be both difficult and incredibly important: being willing to change our minds. What does it mean to hold deeply to our convictions while still remaining teachable? Where might we need to think differently about ourselves, another person, a relationship, or even some of the assumptions we've inherited? Ryan reflects on why this kind of humility is essential not only for personal growth but also for building better relationships between Jews and Christians. As we enter a new year, perhaps one of the most important questions we can ask ourselves is: Where might I need to change my mind? L'shanah tovah! May 5787 be a sweet, healthy, and happy new year.

  Jewish Prayer for non-Jews? A Conversation with Darren Huckey

  Sep 1, 202657 min

  Send us Fan Mail Can Jewish prayer be spiritually beneficial for non-Jews? And if so, how can Christians engage Jewish prayer in a way that is healthy, respectful, and honors the Jewish people and Jewish tradition? As Jewish-Christian relationships continue to improve and more Christians seek to reconnect with the Jewish foundations of their faith, questions like these are becoming increasingly relevant. In this episode of Bridge Builders Forum, Ryan Lambert sits down with author and Bible teacher Darren Huckey for a thoughtful conversation about Jewish prayer for non-Jews. Darren is a non-Jewish follower of Jesus who has spent decades engaging deeply with Judaism and Jewish prayer and is the author of the new book Lost in Prayer: A Messianic Guide to Navigating the Siddur and Finding Intimacy in Prayer. Together, Ryan and Darren discuss what Jewish prayer actually is, the value of liturgical prayer, the Jewish concept of kavanah, the role of spontaneous prayer in Judaism, and some of the complicated questions surrounding Gentiles praying from the siddur. They also explore how followers of Jesus might engage Jewish forms and rhythms of prayer while remaining faithful to their own convictions. There are different Jewish and Christian perspectives on these questions, and this conversation does not pretend otherwise. Instead, it offers one thoughtful contribution to an important and developing conversation about what healthier engagement between Jews and Christians can look like in practice.
