Through “The Chosen People,” listeners will journey into the hearts and minds of ancient Israel, experiencing tales of wonder and war, slavery and salvation. These powerful stories reveal not only the history of a nation but also the essence of being people of faith — wrestling with God, surviving trials and tribulations, and finding purpose amid tragedy and sin.
“The biblical characters each hold divine revelation, which is especially relevant to us today, as the world seems so dark and scary. When we dive deep, we realize that their stories are our stories — their fall from grace, their struggle to survive and the heroes who rose to build and save a nation, all hold profound wisdom and guidance for our lives as both Christians and Jews,” said Eckstein. “Within these biblical narratives lie deep spiritual truths about faith, prayer and the human spirit. They are stories that continue to define the people of Israel to this day, and can help Christians understand the root of their faith in a practical and inspirational way.”
Recorded in Israel, “The Chosen People” brings ancient history to life with vivid storytelling and spiritual reflections. Listeners are invited to reflect on how the Bible’s lessons apply to their own lives of faith and prayer.
“We are honored to bring this unique series to our audience,” said Matthew Potter, co-founder of PRAY.COM. “Yael’s Jewish perspective illuminates the richness of these Old Testament stories, inviting listeners to explore the spiritual heritage of Israel and its role in shaping their own faith journey.”
With themes of survival, redemption and divine purpose, “The Chosen People” invites listeners to immerse themselves in Bible stories that resonate across time. Whether discovering these stories for the first time or revisiting them with fresh eyes, listeners of this series will be inspired to reflect while finding a deeper connection to the foundational truths of Scripture.
“The Chosen People” will be available exclusively on PRAY.COM starting October 2024. To subscribe and learn more about the podcast, visit thechosenpeople.com and preview the trailer here.
