Messianic Judaism Next, or MJ Next, is a podcast founded to ignite candid and long-overdue conversations confronting current issues within Messianic Judaism, bringing it closer to a traditional, sustainable, and grown-up religion.We take the legitimacy of Torah and Messiah as givens well past re-litigation. Instead, we call for a Messianic Jewish Revolution that starts from the template of Judaism – complete with its collective wisdom, tradition, scholarship, lifecycles, and rabbinic pedigree – accepting Yeshua as the Messiah and the legitimacy of the New Covenant writings sans the filter of Christian dogma.We will tackle wide-ranging contemporary topics through uncompromising honesty and humor, serving up a crass, unorthodox style in service of an Orthodox Messianic Judaism.You can find us at https://www.mjnext.fm.We welcome and encourage your feedback. If you have topic suggestions, send us an email (info@mjnext.fm).
