About
Welcome to The Teacher and The Preacher. I'm the teacher, Aaron Lipkin . . . And I'm the preacher, Dave McGarrah . . .
And so the dialogue begins each week. 9,000 miles apart, Aaron Lipkin in Israel joins Pastor Dave McGarrah in the U.S. to bridge the distance between Jews and Christians. Originally broadcasting to over 100,000 listeners on radio stations across the United States, and now to an expanded audience through a worldwide podcast, a Christian pastor and an Orthodox Jew seek to inspire and enlighten, opening listeners’ minds and hearts to deeper levels of faith. Always respectful, but never shying away from real differences, ours is a new kind of religious dialogue based on authentic understanding and mutual respect. Whether we’re discussing Biblical lessons for our times, on-the-ground events in Israel, ideas for living a meaningful life, the different worldviews of Judaism and Christianity, or questions our listeners ask us – if it’s about God and His world, it’s a conversation for The Teacher and the Preacher.
