Yeshua as Messiah: Finding Jesus through the Old Testament with Ammi Zimmerman

In this episode of The Unpolished Church, Jon Sherwood (https://www.jonsherwood.com) interviews Ammi Zimmerman.

Raised within a diverse range of Jewish traditions—from Torah-Observant “Tanakhism” to Conservative Rabbinic Judaism—Ammi has always held a deep love for YHWH, the God of Israel, and for the rich history of the people of Israel from the time of Abraham to the Second Temple period.

During their freshman year of college, Ammi was introduced to Jesus the Messiah.

Initially setting out to challenge Jesus' messianic claims, they instead found themselves captivated by the heart and message of Jesus of Nazareth. This encounter led Ammi to embrace the Way, the Truth, and the Life, and begin following the Lord.

Now, Ammi feels called to pursue Biblical teaching in the near future and intends to use this channel as a small platform to share insights and grow in that calling.

You’ll hear:

- A unique upbringing across Israelite and Rabbinic Jewish traditions

- Honest doubts about Jesus, the church, and Christian doctrine

- How reading the Bible, watching The Chosen, and encountering Christian friends led to a powerful turning point

- A supernatural experience that changed everything
