My guest is content creator, pastor, and social media evangelist, Dan Bergman!

Dan was saved as a 15-year-old boy and called to preach when he was 16. The Lord greatly burdened him for the salvation of his Jewish father. God called him into Jewish missions when he was 17. 

He and his wife, Lois, began their deputation with Jewish Awareness Ministries in 2010, and in 2011 began a ministry to the Jewish population of Cleveland, OH. In 2015, they felt the Lord leading them to move to North Carolina to work out of the ministry headquarters and to help grow and strengthen the ministry.

All of this prepared and led them to a new ministry that God had already abundantly blessed!! 

In 2020, at the prompting of a friend, Dan started a TikTok account to see if he could reach people with the gospel on that app.  https://www.facebook.com/danielbergman99/reels/

Andrew Gabriel Roth and I had an amazing conversation about the Star of Bethlehem and the birth of the Messiah!

You don't want to miss this episode. Through YEARS of research with a friend from NASA, Andrew can give what he considers an accurate date of Jesus's birth--based on the signs God gave in the heavens and Old Testament rotation of priestly service.

We could only touch on the high points of his research, but you can find the full two-hour video below.

Martin Johnson is my guest today.

Martin Johnson is an award-winning writer and screenwriter. Martin shares his experiences of living with a traumatic brain injury and how God has used his brain injury to humble him. Martin is both a speaker and advocate for the Brain Injury Association of America.

Martin’s desire to walk humbly with God was birthed from the faith that the Scriptures say “walked humbly” with God. Martin believes the Christian experience isn’t about achieving and sustaining earthly greatness, but instead, a kingdom greatness that is only achieved through servanthood.

Today's guest is Brendan Maynard.

Brendan and his wife, Katie, are passionate about reaching the Jewish people with the Gospel and equipping fellow believers to do the same.

After coming to know the LORD himself at the age of 24, it was Brendan’s first reading through the Bible that he noticed the important place that the Jewish people hold in God’s heart. They are called God’s “firstborn son” (Ex 4:22), they are “the apple of His eye” (Deut 32:10), and God says that He will never reject them (Jer 33:25-26).

The Maynards began in Jewish ministry with Chosen People Ministries in Chicago where they were involved with local outreach and work with the Chicago Messianic Community. Then, from 2017 to 2021, were actively involved in outreach to Israeli tourists in the country of New Zealand.
