Why would Christians talk about Hanukkah? In this episode of The Elephant Room, Dr. Scott Stewart and Garrett Milovich explore the Feast of Dedication, its place in the New Testament, and why Jesus’ participation in Hanukkah matters for understanding Scripture and faith today.

In this episode of The Elephant Room, Dr. Scott Stewart tackles one of the biggest—and most overlooked—issues in modern Christian understanding: the original language of the Bible. While many believers approach Scripture through a Greek lens, Dr. Stewart uncovers why Hebrew plays a far more dominant role in the biblical narrative and why recognizing this matters for interpreting Jesus’ words, Hebrew idioms, and even familiar Old Testament stories. From “a good eye” to “ravens feeding Elijah,” this episode explores how missing the Hebraic context can distort meaning—and how rediscovering it can illuminate the Scriptures in powerful ways. Join Dr. Stewart on this theological safari as he exposes the elephant in the room: the Bible speaks Hebrew, and understanding that changes everything.

In this eye-opening episode, The Elephant Room tackles the linguistic elephant few churches address: the Bible’s overwhelmingly Hebrew origin. Join Dr. Scott Stewart as he unpacks Hebrew idioms, translation pitfalls, and the cultural clues that illuminate stories we thought we understood.

From the Feasts of the Lord and the role of Israel to the Hebrew roots of Scripture and the language of Jesus Himself. Thought-provoking, Bible-based, and unapologetically bold, this is where truth and tradition meet head-on.

In this episode of The Elephant Room, Dr. Scott Stewart tackles one of the biggest yet most overlooked topics in Christian teaching — Israel. He explores why Israel, mentioned over 6,000 times in Scripture, receives so little attention in modern pulpits despite being central to God’s covenant, prophecy, and plan of redemption. Dr. Stewart revisits previous “elephants” such as the feasts of the Lord, the Holy Spirit, and the law, tying them together to show how Israel remains at the heart of God’s story — past, present, and future. With insight from Ezekiel 36, he reminds listeners that God’s restoration of Israel is for His holy name’s sake, not politics, and calls pastors and believers alike to align their worldview with God’s Word, not the world’s narratives.
