Nourish Your Biblical Roots with Yael Eckstein

• Life on a Kibbutz

  Michele Bachmann has long been a friend of The Fellowship—serving on the Board—and of Israel. But what many might not know is that this American and Christian supporter of Israel also once lived in the Holy Land.That’s right, after graduating high school, Michele spent time living and working on a kibbutz in the Holy Land. Kibbutz Be’eri, where a young Michele lived, came to the world’s attention in the days following the Hamas attacks of October 7, as it was the community hit hardest along the Gaza border.Michele stopped by The Fellowship’s stage at this year’s National Religious Broadcasters (NRB) convention to speak with Bishop Paul Lanier about her time spent living in Israel, how that shaped her faith and her lifework, how that community faced the terror of 10/7, and what Christians like her are doing to stand for Israel today.Join us for this conversation between two Christian friends of Israel, as they discuss the Holy Land of yesterday, today, and tomorrow.For more information on today’s episode visit mybiblicalroots.org.And listen to Yael Eckstein and Bishop Lanier on The Chosen People.

• Finding God Beneath the Surface

  Soon, my family will join Jews around the world to celebrate one of the most joyous holidays on the Jewish calendar—Purim, which commemorates the events written about in the Book of Esther.During the Purim celebration, Jewish people host parties, share holiday treats with friends, and dress up in costumes and masks—a lot like Halloween. But unlike Halloween, people go door to door in order to give treats, not receive them. And the costumes have nothing to do with ghosts or gore.As Yael shares on today’s special Purim episode, this is because the message of Purim is that things aren’t always as they seem. We must look beneath the surface to see God in everything, and behind the masks we often wear to see God in every person.Listen to more of Yael’s Bible teachings on her new podcast, The Chosen People.

• Be Strong and Courageous

  If we want our children to live according to godly—not worldly—values, then courage is one of the most important values that we can pass down to them.Courage is celebrated each year during the biblical observance of Purim, which commemorates the story of Queen Esther, whose courageous actions saved the Jewish people from certain annihilation. As Yael shares, it is faith that gave Esther her courage, and courage that gave her the confidence to take a stand for her people. Together, faith and courage have always advanced God’s work on earth.Listen to Yael’s inspiring call to raise the next generation to be “strong and courageous.”And listen to more of Yael’s Bible teachings on her new podcast, The Chosen People.
