In this episode of A Jew and A Gentile Discuss, Carly and Ezra talk with Tara-Leigh Cobble, host of The Bible Recap podcast. Tara-Leigh is a real kindred spirit with her love for God’s Word, for Israel and the Jewish people and helping Christians understand the Jewish roots of their faith in Jesus.
Join them for a fun conversation about
- the way we discovered Tara-Leigh that can only be by God’s hand
- what Tara-Leigh does and how she turned from someone who had no interest in going to Israel into a leader of twice-a-year teaching tours
- misconceptions people have about Israel before going,
- the interesting and pleasant surprises some of them encounter once there
- how Tara-Leigh observes the Sabbath
- and how visiting Israel has changed her Bible reading
Along the Way
Along the way, you’ll also hear about
- an interesting comfort that concerned tourists don’t often think about when traveling to Israel
- a curious story about a driver, baby car seats and an eye-opening encounter with cultural differences
- the unexplainable peace one feels in Israel
- building relationships with Jewish people
- something known as “the Shabbat elevator”
- how the Israel landscape isn’t as brown as you might think it is
- and a fantastic way of sharing your faith with international Uber drivers
