The International Fellowship of Christians and Jews at NRB 2025

For the third consecutive year, the International Fellowship of Christians and Jews, often referred to as The Fellowship, is gearing up to exhibit at the NRB Convention, which is scheduled to take place from February 24 to February 27, 2025, in Grapevine, Texas. This year, they will showcase their largest booth yet, designated as Booth #801. The NRB International Christian Media Convention stands as the largest and most recognized event for Christian communicators and broadcasters, boasting an expansive exhibit hall featuring 270 exhibitors and organizations within 58,000 square feet of booth space, and is expected to draw over 5,000 attendees.

The Fellowship plans a robust lineup of engaging events throughout the convention week, including live recordings of the popular "Nourish Your Biblical Roots" podcast. Scheduled guests include:

• - Michele Bachmann and Bishop Paul Lanier, who will discuss their experiences of "Life on a Kibbutz."
• - iHeart host Ben Ferguson, focusing on the intersections of politics, faith, and the significance of Christian Zionism.
• - Cheryl Chumley, the Lead Opinion Editor of the Washington Times, sharing insights on critical matters that every American Christian should understand regarding Israel, and the prevalent issues impacting Christians and Jews.
• - On Thursday, Billy Hallowell, a host and producer at CBN Digital TV, will take the reins for a podcast session featuring a paramedic who has been assisting Israelis both before and since the tragic events of October 7.

In addition to these podcast recordings, attendees can look forward to a panel discussion on February 25, from 3:00 PM to 3:45 PM, that acknowledges the "Top 10 Influential Christian Zionists". This panel will honor remarkable figures like Michele Bachmann, former Congresswoman and current Dean at Regent University's Robertson School of Government; Mike Huckabee, former Governor and recently appointed Ambassador to Israel; Carlos Duran, President of the National Hispanic Pastors Alliance; Dumisani Washington, Founder of the Institute for Black Solidarity with Israel; Carlos Ortiz, a spiritual leader with a multitude of ministries; and Paul Lanier, Founder of Hope Community Church and Chairman of The Fellowship's Board of Directors.

Another highlight includes the Fireside Chat on February 26, from 2:30 PM to 3:30 PM in Texas Ballroom D, featuring Glenn Beck alongside Yael Eckstein, who will have an emotionally compelling conversation with Keith Elan Isaacson—a survivor of the October 7 incidents.

Yael Eckstein, the President and CEO of The Fellowship, expressed her excitement about the event, stating, "Every year, we look forward to all the connections and meaningful conversations with our Christian supporters that being at NRB affords. These connections are critically important to not only fulfilling our mission of building bridges between Christians and Jews but to inspiring more support to bless Israel and her people—which ultimately allows us to save even more Jewish lives around the world every year."
