In this class, Dr. Tim Sigler joins Jewish believers Steve Herzig and Lorna Simcox to help us think biblically and lovingly about the next steps. Together, they explore how to welcome a new Jewish believer into your congregation, how Jewish followers of Jesus relate to the Law, and how Messianic congregations factor into the conversation.

March 06, 2026Purim, Iran, If There Is No God, Bomb Shelter Dating Apps, and Freilach (Episode #238)
🎙️ Jew & Gentile Podcast — Episode Notes
🇮🇷 Iran & Terrorism Against Americans
A recent White House article outlines decades of Iranian regime terrorism targeting Americans, beginning after the 1979 Islamic Revolution.
https://www.whitehouse.gov/articles/2026/03/the-iranian-regimes-decades-of-terrorism-against-american-citizens/
📖 Teaching Segment: Minutia in Genesis
📜 Biblical Reflection — Genesis 1:1
“In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth.”
Scripture assumes God’s existence

Echoed in:
📖 John 1:1 – In the beginning was the Word

📖 Mark 1:1 – Beginning of the gospel
🏛️ Faith & Western Civilization
Dennis Prager – If There Is No God…
Key argument:
Without God → Who defines good and evil?
Observations:
⚔️ The 20th century (most secular) was also the bloodiest

~150 million civilians killed under Nazism & Communism

Margaret Thatcher:
“The moral foundation of this system is the Judeo-Christian outlook… each person matters.”
Concern:
Shift from values (“I must”) → feelings (“I want”)
Key question:
❓ Is Western civilization weakening because Genesis 1:1 is being forgotten?
🕊️ Finding Messiah in Passover
🎁 Free Digital Download
You can access Finding Messiah in Passover at:

It’s designed to help you:
Understand the Jewish roots of your faith

See the gospel woven into the Exodus story

Share these truths confidently with others

Whether you’re preparing for a Seder, teaching a Bible study, or just wanting to go deeper — this is a powerful resource.
Because when you see Messiah in Passover, you realize something profound:
God’s plan of redemption wasn’t improvised.
It was woven into the story from the beginning.

You’ve probably heard the objections: “We don’t have the originals,” “The manuscripts contradict each other,” or “The New Testament has been changed so many times.” Dr. Wallace has spent decades studying these claims, and in this class he walks us through what the evidence actually shows.

📖 Teaching Segment: Minutia in Genesis
Led Zeppelin, “Stairway to Heaven,” and Genesis 28
Reference the song “Stairway to Heaven” sung by Robert Plant

Connect it creatively to Jacob’s ladder in Genesis 28:10–22

Jacob’s Story (Genesis 28)
Traveling to find a wife; stops in the middle of nowhere

Uses a stone for a pillow

Dreams of a ladder reaching from earth to heaven

Angels ascending and descending

The LORD at the top, reaffirming the Abrahamic promise

Jacob’s Response
“The Lord is in this place, and I didn’t know it.”

Calls it the gate of heaven

Declares the place awesome in the true sense

Turns the pillow-stone into a pillar

Anoints it

Names it Bethel (“House of God”)

Makes a conditional vow:
If God is with me

If God keeps me

If God provides bread

If God returns me in peace
→ Then the LORD will be my God

New Testament Bridge — John 1
Jesus says of Nathanael: “An Israelite in whom there is no Jacob (no deceit).”

John 1:51: “You will see heaven opened and angels ascending and descending on the Son of Man.”

Point:
In Genesis, the angels move on a ladder.
In John, the angels move on Jesus.
Jesus is the ladder—He is the connection between heaven and earth.
Babel vs Bethel
Babel: man tries to climb to heaven

Bethel: God opens heaven down to man

Moments When Heaven Opens in Scripture
John 1:51 – Angels ascending/descending on the Son of Man

Jesus’ baptism: Matthew 3:16; Mark 1:10; Luke 3:21

Acts 7:55–56 – Stephen sees Jesus standing at God’s right hand

Revelation 4:1 – A door opens in heaven

Revelation 19:11 – Heaven opens, white horse revealed

Ezekiel 1:1 – Heavens opened, visions of God

📖 Teaching Segment — Minutia in Genesis: Abraham’s Holy Chutzpah (Genesis 18)
Theme: Abraham displayed “holy chutzpah” by interceding for Sodom and Gomorrah.
What happens in Genesis 18?
God reveals His plan to judge the cities

Abraham steps in as intercessor — priest-like, friend-like

He negotiates with God (50 → 45 → 40 → 30 → 20 → 10)

God agrees each time

Tragically, fewer than 10 righteous people were found

Why this matters:
God is approachable

He delights in justice

Abraham models intercessory prayer

He stands between judgment and mercy

A foreshadowing of the priestly role fulfilled perfectly in Messiah

February 12, 2026An Enoch Life in a Lamech Generation, Israeli Bobsled Team, Shalom Mexico, and Shpatzir (Episode #235)
🎙️ Jew & Gentile Podcast — Episode Notes
🔥 Introduction & Welcome
Super Bowl still on my mind, Chris.
Not just the game — but what it says about culture.
The commercials, the halftime, the messaging — it’s all catechism in 30-second clips.
🏈 Super Bowl Reflections
📺 Commercials — Bigger, Louder, Flashier
Massive productions.
Bigger budgets.
Louder messages.
Flashier storytelling.
Question:
Is more actually better?
🎥 He Gets Us Commercial
https://youtu.be/l0-xrGol9MQ
Continued attempt to present Jesus in cultural spaces.
Raises the question: How do we faithfully share Christ in public arenas?
🎤 Halftime — A Cultural Shift?
Turning Point USA sponsored an alternative halftime event.
Reportedly over 5 million tuned in.
https://cbn.com/news/entertainment/millions-tune-tpusas-all-american-halftime-super-bowl-show
Growing conversation about faith in the NFL.
https://www.foxnews.com/media/something-has-shifted-nfl-its-not-about-game
Discussion Points:
Is something shifting spiritually in American public life?
Is faith becoming less hidden?
What does authentic witness look like in high-profile environments?
🗣️ Culture & Faith — Religious Liberty Conversation
There’s been a video circulating from a recent meeting of the White House’s Religious Liberty Commission, where an exchange took place about Zionism and antisemitism. The clip highlights how people are wrestling with:
the difference between religious identity and political ideology,
what it means to be faithful to Scripture in public discourse,
and how faith-based perspectives get portrayed in cultural and political arenas.

Whether you’re preparing for a Seder, teaching a Bible study, or just wanting to go deeper — this is a powerful resource.

It was woven into the story from the beginning.
📖 Minutia in Genesis
“An Enoch Life in a Lamech Generation”
(Dr. Will Varner)
Is it possible?
In Genesis 5, there’s a repeated drumbeat:
“And he died… and he died… and he died…”
Then Enoch breaks the pattern.
📖 Genesis 5:21–24 (NIV)
Enoch walked faithfully with God… and he was not, because God took him.
📖 Hebrews 11:5
By faith Enoch was taken from this life… he pleased God.
🚶 What Does It Mean to Walk with God?
Is it a walk?
Is it a talk?
Walking with God means:
To agree with God (Amos 3:3)
To please God (Heb. 11:5)
To trust God (2 Cor. 5:7)
To walk humbly (Mic. 6:8)
Enoch lived in a dark, pre-flood world.
God was grieved over human wickedness.
Judgment was coming.
In many ways, Enoch was a last-days believer before the Flood.
He walked in close fellowship with God.
His life testified against a corrupt generation.
Jude 14–15 says he even prophesied judgment.
Question:
Can we live an Enoch life in a Lamech generation?

Or are we taking a shpatzir with God like Enoch did?
