Between Judaism & Christianity: A Messianic Story with Joshua Aaron

In this episode of the Covenant & Conflict Podcast, we sit down with Joshua Aaron to unpack one of the most complex and misunderstood topics in the Church today: the relationship between Judaism, Christianity, and the identity of Israel. Joshua shares his deeply personal story. He grew up between Orthodox Judaism and Christianity, encountered Yeshua as the Jewish Messiah, and now lives in the tension as a Messianic Jewish believer. From Holocaust family history to a miraculous reunion decades later, to raising children in Israel during war, this conversation is raw, emotional, and incredibly timely. We also address some of the hardest questions believers are asking right now. • Has the Church replaced Israel? • What is replacement theology, and is it biblical? • Why is antisemitism rising again, even among Christians? • How should believers view modern Israel? • What does Scripture actually say about Israel's future? This episode brings clarity, historical perspective, and a Spirit-led call to discern truth in a confusing cultural moment. If you have wrestled with Israel, the Church, or your theology around both, this conversation is for you.
