LIFE & FAITH. SCRIPTURE & Israel.
LEARNING ALONG THE WAY ᵕ̈
Hey, I’m Jake! A British-born American Jew, and a follower of Jesus. We’re all on a journey called life. I’m no different. Just call me your fellow brother.
I’m also a graduate student studying Jewish-Christian relations, a student of Scripture. As a lifelong learner, I seek to make the most of this one life I’ve been given.
I am fascinated by truth, worldviews, Jewish-Christian relations, and knowing God.
Here, I share life & faith and whatever I’m learning along the way.
a fellow sojourner
For the past three years, I've served in full-time church ministry in Jax Beach FL primarily in discipleship ministry,
spiritual formation, and administration. Before that, I studied Business Finance at Liberty University—trying to head toward a career in wealth management.
God changed my direction and I left the path I had planned.
This journey has led me into graduate study, with a burden to build bridges between Jews and Christians, Israel and the nations, and biblical truth in todays culture of chaos.
Living on mission
Can we all agree the world is broken? We need something beyond ourselves.
I want to see a generation know Jesus in the fullness of who He is—to see Him as the Jewish Messiah, understand Israel biblically, and discover the beauty of God's purposes for Israel and His global ecclesia (Church).
As a Jewish follower of Jesus, I carry a heart to share the good news of Messiah and mend an ancient divide—building bridges between Jewish identity and Christian faith, Jews and Christians, Israel and the nations.
with a lifelong vision
In a culture of chaos, I’m here to pursue truth in love, wrestle with life’s toughest questions, and invite others into the same pursuit.
In the words of a first century Jewish Rabbi, “Then you will know the truth, and the truth will set you free.”
— Yeshua of Nazareth (John 8:32)
So, I’m on a journey…To see Jesus rightly. Understand Israel biblically. Live ready for His return.
