Did you know that the descendants of Ishmael have played a key role in helping the people of Israel?

In this episode of the Curt Landry Podcast, Rabbi Curt is joined by special guest Dr. Faisal Malick, a former Muslim who shares his radical encounter with Jesus and God’s heart to rescue, restore, and redeem the descendants of Ishmael. Ishmael means “God hears.” For thousands of years, wounded by the pain of fatherlessness, Muslim hearts have been crying out, and the God of Abraham, Issac, and Jacob hears them and is responding in glorious ways. The agenda of Islam cannot compete with God’s vision for the Muslim people. They are not the enemy, but God’s unfinished story.

Join Rabbi Curt and Dr. Faisal Malick as they share the important distinction between the Muslim people and the Islamic religion that holds them hostage, highlighting passages in the Bible where the descendants of Ishmael were involved in helping key Jewish leaders. This is the hour of One New Man reconciliation, for Believers to arise and participate in God’s prophetic rescue mission to bring Ishmael home.

Dr. Malick's book, "Ishmael Returns: God's Vision vs. Islam's Agenda for Muslims," is available at https://www.faisalmalick.com or on Amazon.

Are you willing to embrace God’s Word and follow it?

In this episode of the Curt Landry Podcast, Rabbi Curt and Darrell Puckett talk about the Hebrew month of Shevat, a time to receive divine instruction for the year ahead. This month highlights the transformation that comes through meditating on God’s Word. We can’t allow mass media manipulation to discourage or distract us from what God is doing. He will judge evil and vindicate the righteous. The truth will prevail, and He is leading His people toward a future of hope. As we meditate on His Word and seek first His Kingdom, He will light up our path and fill our thoughts with life and peace.

Join Rabbi and Darrell as they unpack global awakening in 2026, the One New Man reformation, and how to declare war on negative thinking.

Are you willing to pray for those you dislike or disagree with?

In this episode of the Curt Landry Podcast, Rabbi Curt and Darrell Puckett discuss the importance of interceding for government leaders, based on the principle of 1 Timothy 2:1-2–Paul’s instruction to pray and intercede for all people, including kings and all those in authority. There is no exception to this, as Jesus instructs us to pray for even our enemies. The only way to dismantle evil or strengthen the righteous is through persistent prayer–the Scriptures tell us the hearts of kings run through God’s hands like water (Proverbs 21:1). He’s in control, judgment belongs to Him, and our job is to align with His will by exalting His authority and purpose in all things.

Join Rabbi as he shares personal examples of praying for political leaders, and a warning to those with influence to use their platforms to bless and honor truth, rather than curse.

The first few months of the new year, between Hanukkah and Purim, are a time of battle between a miracle and the promise of the miracle. God wants to bring a new thing, but we cannot stay in disbelief, doubt, and disillusionment from our past. We must choose praise in the waiting, inviting God to search our hearts and cleanse our mindsets. As we shift our habits and patterns in alignment with faith, we are ready to receive what He is preparing for us. Join Rabbi and Darrell as they share tools to help you realign with your purpose and God’s plans in the new year, and lead in a prayer for healing and breakthrough, specifically for families struggling with infertility.

Are you struggling with what to do about Christmas?

In this episode of the Curt Landry Podcast, Rabbi Curt and Darrell Puckett discuss the tensions surrounding the celebration of Christmas, particularly its pagan roots. It’s become more widely understood that Jesus likely was not born on December 25, and some have felt it better not to associate with the day at all. This is understandable, and it remains an area of personal conviction.

Though the roots of Christmas are pagan, if your focus on the day is to celebrate and remember the coming of Jesus Messiah, your heart is not pagan. For many, it’s about redefining the symbols of Christmas – to see the tree as representing the one on which Yeshua died for our sins, and the gifts pointing to the Son of God as the ultimate gift to the world. Rabbi shares his background growing up, and his personal conviction to be a Hanukkah-Christmas Jewish person, keeping Jesus, the Light of the World, at the center of both celebrations.

Join Rabbi and Darrell as they discuss how Judeo-Christian celebrations are under attack, the liberty that Jesus provides, and the encouragement, no matter your conviction, to let the Light of the World shine through your life this season.

Are you ready to receive fresh strategy and vision?

In this episode of the Curt Landry Podcast, Rabbi Curt and Darrell Puckett talk about the Hebrew month of Tevet, a time of divine strategies and spiritual insight. The month is associated with the Hebrew word “Ayin,” which means “eye” or “spiritual vision,” and the number 70, which represents completion and focus. During this month:

• Ask God for spiritual strategy, authority, and protection
• Trust Him as your Rear Guard
• Refine your vision for the new year
• Hold onto hope and expectation

Join Rabbi and Darrell as they discuss how to guard against spiritual distractions, nurture your marriage, family, and home life, and write out the vision God has given you, decreeing and declaring it will come to pass in His perfect time.

Are you willing to live a countercultural life?

In this 100th episode of the Curt Landry Podcast, Rabbi Curt and Darrell Puckett talk about the spiritual significance of the story of Hanukkah and the parallels we see in our culture today. The results of recent elections in America underscore that the righteous must rise up, taking a countercultural stance that first starts in every heart and home.

Join Rabbi and Darrell as they share the power of anchoring your family in your spiritual heritage, living a lifestyle that blesses others, and the courage to not compromise but hold to godly conviction.
