When an Orthodox Jew and Evangelical Christian Build Together
What happens when an Orthodox Jew and an evangelical Christian become friends—and decide to build something together?
In this episode of Bridge Builders Forum, Ryan Lambert sits down with Gidon Ariel and Bob O'Dell, co-founders of Root Source, an organization helping Jews and Christians study Scripture, learn from one another, and build meaningful relationships across religious differences.
Originally recorded during an Olive Tree Network gathering, this conversation explores how their unlikely partnership began, what they've learned from one another, and why Jewish-Christian bridge-building matters now more than ever.
Bob also shares insights from his book Five Years with Orthodox Jews and introduces the Echoes Bible, an initiative highlighting connections between the Old and New Testaments.
It's an encouraging conversation about friendship, faith, and the possibilities that emerge when Jews and Christians approach their differences as opportunities for learning rather than deficiencies.
