August 27, 2025Fighting Antisemitism with Faith in Italy: An Interview with Tiauna Lodewyk (Episode #212)
🎙️ Jew and Gentile Podcast Show Notes
In this episode, Steve and Chris sit down with Tiauna Lodewyk, Canadian Representative with The Friends of Israel Gospel Ministry in Ontario. Recently, Tiauna joined a Jewish group traveling through Italy to explore the rich history of Jewish life and heritage there.
What started as an educational journey—designed to help combat antisemitism on college campuses—quickly became something far deeper. For Tiauna, Italy was ministry around every corner: conversations with Jewish friends, moments of encouragement, and countless opportunities to live out her faith and show the love of the Messiah.
Join us as Tiauna shares stories from her time in Italy, the challenges of standing with Jewish people today, and how God is using her in Canada and beyond to build bridges of hope and truth.

(What do you do when you find He is the way?)

v.37 – Revive me in Your way

v.40 – Revive me in Your righteousness

✡️ VAV (vv. 41–48)
v.41 – Salvation comes from Your Word

v.42 – Why trust it? Because it's true

v.43 – Don’t take the Word of truth out of my mouth

v.45 – Walk in liberty – but how do we balance freedom and obedience?

v.46 – I will speak of Your testimonies and not be ashamed

Pintele Yid (פּינטעלע ייִד) – The Jewish Spark

🎙️ Jew & Gentile Podcast — Episode [#209]
Title: “The Shower Sandwich Saint, Open My Eyes That I May See, Netanyahu’s Gaza Gamble, and Mechiah”
In This Episode:
Steve returns from Chicago with heartwarming and hilarious listener stories—including one involving a shower, a sandwich, and a plugged drain. We reflect on Psalm 119, explore cruise dreams, and tackle headlines from around the world and Israel. Plus, don’t miss two exciting FOI Equip classes coming this fall!
🧼 Listener Story: Sandwich in the Shower
A beloved listener—famous for eating a sandwich in the shower while listening to the podcast—is now with the Lord.
His daughter shared:
“The shower drain was clogged. I pulled out sandwich bags and candy wrappers. I don’t know what he was doing in there, but I know he felt better with the water falling on him.”
Rest well, 8th Listener. You made us laugh and left your mark (in the pipes).
Also… multiple people in Wisconsin and Chicago claim to be the “8th Listener.” The legend grows.
🚢 Cruise Life Update
Chris dreams of a simpler life—on the high seas.
New goal: $1.8 million for an unlimited cruise package, complete with a private room and bathroom.

July 31, 2025A Hymn Rooted in Rabbinic History, Chicago Cops, ORIGINS and Israeli Rockets, and Kina Hora (Episode #208)
🎙️ Episode 208 – A Hymn Rooted in Rabbinic History, Chicago Cops, ORIGINS and Israeli Rockets, and Kina Hora

Hosts: Chris Katulka & Steve Herzig
Location: On-location at Conference Point Camp, Wisconsin
This week’s Jew and Gentile Podcast is a jam-packed, heartwarming, and powerful mix of laughter, testimonies, faith, and frontline ministry. Chris and Steve take us into the heart of Friends of Israel and Conference Point Camp where stories of bravery, Jewish-Christian unity, and old-school fun collide.
📚 Upcoming FOI Equip Class – Isaiah 53: Could This Be Jesus?
Taught by Dr. Will Varner | September 11 & 18
🔗 https://foiequip.org
👮‍♀️ Faith Behind the Badge
A Chicago police officer (whose name is withheld for safety) shares her experience as a believer in law enforcement. From dangerous neighborhoods to Faith Fridays—weekly prayer walks with clergy across crime-ridden areas of Chicago—her story reveals hope and gospel light shining in unexpected places.
“There are more Christians in the force than you’d expect—and the community wants us there.”
🕎 From DNA to Hanukkah: A Young Boy’s Love for Israel
13-year-old David Nelson discovered his Jewish heritage and fell in love with Israel. He shares how receiving a Hanukkah Box from The Friends of Israel sparked meaningful connections and some amazing Israeli cooking.
“I used the olive oil and Za’atar mix to make Israeli toast!”
🎲 Mahjong, Memory, and Jewish Heritage
Steve’s daughter Shayna explains how a once-forgotten game—Mahjong—is making a comeback in Jewish and non-Jewish communities alike. She also highlights a powerful Billy Joel documentary that connects the pop icon to his Holocaust-survivor roots and explains why it should be required viewing for Christians today.
📖 A Hymn Rooted in Rabbinic History
Dr. Mike (Shayna’s husband and NT scholar) draws surprising connections between the classic hymn The Love of God and rabbinic sayings going back to the first century. This mini-lesson in Jewish-Christian literary overlap will change how you hear that familiar verse.
🇮🇱 Missiles Overhead, Faith Undeterred: Micah’s ORIGINS Story
FOI graphic designer Micah recounts his recent experience on the ORIGINS Israel trip, where participants served Israeli communities during what’s now called the 12-Day War. As ballistic missiles from Iran rained overhead, Micah and others took shelter—but also stepped out in service and prayer.
“God gave me peace I didn’t understand. I’d go back again in a heartbeat.” -Micah Husk

🗣️ Yiddish Word of the Day: Kina hora (קײן עין הרע) – a contraction of the Yiddish/Hebrew phrase kayn ayin hara that literally means “no evil eye.” It’s used after mentioning something good to ward off envy or bad luck—much like knocking on wood. Keeping this humble, cautious attitude reflects the heart of Psalm 119, which urges us to safeguard our hearts and remain grounded in God’s Word rather than tempting fate.

🎙️ Jew and Gentile Podcast — Episode #206
Title: Ambassador Huckabee, Quiet Cracking, Psalm 119, Remembering Pastor John MacArthur, and Mussar (Episode #206)
📅 This week on the Jew and Gentile Podcast:
Chris and Steve crack up—literally and figuratively—as they talk about the new workplace burnout trend known as “quiet cracking”—that slow, creeping exhaustion that leaves you wondering when your plate will finally shatter. Chris assures us he’s not quietly cracking… because he’s loud and already cracked up! 😆
📰 What’s Quiet Cracking?
It’s the emotional and spiritual fatigue that sneaks up quietly—like burnout in stealth mode. If you’ve been struggling to find joy in your work or just feel spiritually dry, this conversation will resonate with you.

We also take time to remember the incredible legacy of Pastor John MacArthur—the “Lion of the Pulpit.” After 56 years of faithful service, he is now with the Lord. Through Grace To You, Master’s Seminary, and his countless books and sermons, his voice shaped a generation of theological conservatives. As Mark Wingfield said:
“There is no single pastor who has been more influential on young theological conservatives in the last 50 years than MacArthur.”
🙏 Pastor MacArthur's life was a powerful example of what it means to equip the saints for the work of ministry—which is exactly why FOI created FOI Equip.

📜 Psalm 119 Spotlight
Chris and Steve dive into Psalm 119—a psalm so rich in truth it’s earned titles like:
The Garden of Sweet Flowers

The School of Truth

The Great Psalm

A Doxology of Praise for the Word of God

With 176 verses (8 for each Hebrew letter), it’s an acrostic celebration of God’s Word. Psalm 119 emphasizes how Scripture sanctifies, strengthens, and sustains believers through seasons of pressure, persecution, and praise.
Warren Wiersbe said:
“The law is not a weapon in the hands of an angry judge but a tool in the hands of a loving Father…”
✨ Key Takeaway: Seek the Lord with your whole heart (v.2), walk in His ways (v.3), and trust His Word to anchor you—even in a world full of cracks.

📖 Biblical Discussion: How Judaism & Christianity View Original Sin
🎥 Watch the Video
Check out this insightful YouTube explanation here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZExNKmKaRg4
✡️ Judaism’s View
Original Sin = Cosmic Consequence
Humanity inherited a yetzer hara—an evil inclination introduced at the Fall.

The Soul Remains Fundamentally Holy
Despite the spiritual tension, our inner soul remains sacred; the challenge is overcoming the yetzer hara.

The Struggle Is Within
Jewish theology emphasizes personal responsibility and the ongoing battle between good and evil inclinations within each person.

✝️ Christianity’s View
Original Sin = Universal Stain
From Adam’s disobedience, sin spread to all humanity (e.g., Romans 5:12).

Broken Relationship with God
This spiritual flaw blocks communion with God—sin must be removed.

Jesus, the Messiah, Is the Remedy
Through Jesus's life, death, and resurrection, believers’ sins are washed away, restoring their relationship with God.

📚 Supporting Bible Verses
Genesis 5:3
"When Adam had lived 130 years, he fathered a son in his own likeness, after his image, and named him Seth."
‑ Highlights the hereditary nature of humanity’s fallen condition.

Psalm 51:5
"Behold, I was brought forth in iniquity, and in sin did my mother conceive me."
‑ Emphasizes our innate sinful state from birth.

Romans 5:12
"Therefore, just as sin came into the world through one man, and death through sin, and so death spread to all men because all sinned."
‑ Establishes the Christian doctrine: sin for all originates in Adam.

Romans 3:23
"For all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God."
‑ Confirms universal guilt before God.

Romans 5:18–19
"One trespass resulted in condemnation for all people, but the free gift of righteousness ... resulted in justification and life for all people."
‑ Contrasts Adam’s sin with Christ’s redemptive act.

🎵 Worship Highlight
"Oh Happy Day" – 900 voices lift up Jesus!
Watch here: https://youtu.be/FtgnwslMZYQ
Lyrics celebrate the cleansing power of Jesus and the joy of salvation.
Originally inspired by an 18th-century hymn by Phillip Doddridge.

🔥🕊️ Main Topic: “To the Jew First” – What Does It Mean?
Paul’s phrase in Romans 1:16 sparks theological discussion:
Does “first” mean historically or especially?

We argue Paul meant “especially” – that the gospel is particularly for the Jewish people, not just sequentially to them.

Romans 2:9–10 confirms: both judgment and blessing come “to the Jew first.”

Jews aren’t better or worse than Gentiles – we’re all sinners (Romans 3:23).

Ephesians 2 shows how Gentiles are no longer strangers but brought near by the blood of Christ.

📖 “So then you are no longer strangers and aliens, but you are fellow citizens with the saints and members of the household of God.” — Ephesians 2:19
