“Now I know Why Jesus CANNOT Be the Messiah”
That’s what a Jewish attorney said to David after reading Jesus’ words from the cross, “My God, my God, why have you forsaken me?” He reasoned that no Messiah would say that.
What this attorney didn’t realize was that Jesus was quoting Psalm 22 which is one of THE most compelling prophecies pointing to Jesus as Messiah! We kick of the podcast with this story.
David Brickner of Jews For Jesus joins us with a conversation around his latest book, Does the Jewish Bible Point To Jesus: 12 Key Prophecies That Unfold God’s Plan.
Also we hear the story of David making the case for Christ with the late Larry King of Larry King Live. And how the carol, “O Little Town of Bethlehem” led to a world-wide movement to reach Jews for Jesus.
Also David unpacks the first prophecy of a Messiah from Gen. 3:15. David shares his story of being raised in a family of Jews for Jesus and why he initially walked away from Him.
And we talk about how vital it is to preach the love of God to ourselves and we hear about the hunger for Jesus that has emerged of out of the horror of October 7th in Israel. If you’re encouraged, please share!

Shawna Beyer
Shawna Beyer has a way of telling stories that create personal connection— to her, to one another, and to God. She has been a homeschool mom, church planter, project lead for a consulting company, and church staff member. Though she’s been involved in ministry with her husband (Dan) in Iowa, Arizona, and now Michigan, she was born and raised in Southern California and as they say, “You can take the girl out of California . . .” She is mom to four grown kids (Bryn, Drayson, Eden, and Haven) who no longer need her but humor her anyway. Shawna is passionate about the rhythms we weave into the fabric of our lives to fall more in love with God each day. Healthy foods are her go-to, but she will abandon that whole track in a heartbeat for a homemade cinnamon roll like Grandma used to make.
