Christians all over the world in every denomination have questions about the Bible. Questions their theological frameworks have trouble answering. Like how could God disavow his covenant people Israel? Why did he give a law that he said was perfect and then say, well, no one has to keep it anymore. Chad Oltman is an evangelical pastor turned chaplain who has undertaken the journey from church to Messianic synagogue. Listen in to his conversation with Jacob Fronczak and learn what changed in his theology and worldview and how the Jewish idea of Tikkun Olam or repair of the world inspired him to start a new chapter of pastoral care, helping addicts recover.

👉 Key Discussion Points:

► Embrace Freedom in Spiritual Disruption You will learn why encountering major gaps in your theological framework shouldn't scare you. Instead of viewing disruption as a threat to your salvation, you will see how assuming "you already have all the truth" is actually the ultimate barrier to encountering God more deeply.

► Prioritize Ancient Context over Modern Opinion You will walk away with a practical reminder that modern cultural lenses and subjective opinions matter very little when evaluating ancient texts. You'll see why true discipleship means conforming your worldview to the text, rather than forcing the text to conform to you.

► Redefine Your Purpose through Tikkun Olam You will discover how the Jewish concept of Tikkun Olam (repairing the world) shifts your spiritual focus from just "waiting to go to heaven" to actively partnering with God to restore creation right now. You'll see how obedience to God's instructions plays a direct role in fixing our broken world.
