About this listen
What if you’ve been reading the Bible in black and white… when it was meant to be in technicolor?
David Mack, founder of BLAC Ministries (Biblical Learning and Application Community), joins Matt and Ron to share how discovering the Jewishness of Jesus transformed his walk and his teaching.
From a life-changing encounter with Arnold Fruchtenbaum to building global discipleship resources translated into Swahili, Urdu, and Spanish, David’s journey is rooted in reclaiming the full biblical story.
They explore why Torah still matters, how modern churches often sideline Israel, and why a Star of David baseball cap stirred everything from conversations to controversy.
With humility and passion, David calls the Church to return to its Jewish foundation - not just for theological accuracy, but for spiritual vitality.
Key Takeaways- The Bible in Full Color: The Jewish context of Scripture brings both Old and New Testaments into clearer focus.
- Torah for Today: While it doesn't save, Torah still guides life, ethics, and culture - even for Gentiles.
- Wearing Your Faith: David’s Star of David hat sparked conversations - and backlash - across cultural and denominational lines.
- Discipling Globally: With online tools and multi-language teaching, BLAC Ministries equips believers around the world.
- The Church and the Jewish People: Many churches resist engaging with Jewish roots, but David persists with grace and truth.
