Ishmael Returns | How Muslim Hearts Are Coming Home to Jesus Ft. Dr. Faisal Malick

The Curt Landry Podcast

Show Notes

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.

Is archaeology confirming the historical accuracy of the Bible—and why are so many significant discoveries coming to light now? In this episode of the Curt Landry Podcast, Rabbi Curt sits down with New York Times best-selling author and filmmaker Dinesh D’Souza to discuss his new book, "The Stones Cry Out: Biblical Archaeology, Prophecy, and the Last Days." Drawing from three years of research and visits to excavation sites across Israel, Dinesh explores archaeological discoveries connected to biblical people, places, and events—from the patriarchs through the crucifixion. Together, Rabbi and Dinesh discuss what this growing body of evidence means for Believers, why biblical archaeology matters in conversations about Israel, and how these discoveries can strengthen your confidence when your faith is challenged. They also explore a compelling question: Why is so much evidence coming out of the ground in our generation? If you have ever wondered how history, archaeology, Scripture, and biblical prophecy intersect, this conversation will challenge you to look more closely at the evidence—and consider what the stones may be revealing.

In this episode of the Curt Landry Podcast, Rabbi Curt and Pastor Michael talk about the Hebrew Month of Cheshvan, a month of choices, endurance, and growth. Unlike Tishrei and other months in the Hebrew calendar, Cheshvan has no biblical feasts. It is spacious. It is quiet. And it’s here that God’s people face a question: will we nurture what God planted during the Fall Feasts, or will we return to the patterns we were called to leave behind? This season is often filled with counterfeits disguised as convenience, tempting us to revert back to what was familiar and felt easier. But as you invite Yeshua to purify your heart, refine your motives, and renew your mind, you will see the encounters at the Feasts move beyond mere memories or moments to become a source of endurance in your spiritual walk. Join Rabbi and Pastor Michael as they talk about how to rest, restore, and re-engage in the month of Cheshvan, what the tribe of Manasseh teaches us about turning pain into purpose, and how to find God’s glory in ordinary, everyday moments.

In this episode of the Curt Landry Podcast, Rabbi Curt and Pastor Michael discuss the Issachar anointing, its biblical roots, and how it applies to Believers today. The tribe of Issachar is distinguished as those who “understood the times and knew what Israel ought to do” (1 Chronicles 12:32). In a time of upheaval, wars, and deception, we need to be grounded in discerning the moment we are in, what God is speaking, and how to respond in faith, rather than react in fear. This anointing is not reserved for a select few – it can be asked for, nurtured, and developed through character growth, surrender to God’s will, and prayerful study. Join Rabbi and Pastor Michael as they share how the Hebrew calendar and biblical feasts help Believers grow in discernment of God’s prophetic time clock, avoid unnecessary stress and confusion, and maintain an eternal perspective amid challenging seasons. #ChristianPodcast #TheCurtLandryPodcast #BiblicalWisdom #Discernment #PropheticWord #IssacharAnnointing

In this episode of the Curt Landry Podcast, Rabbi Curt and Pastor Michael talk about integrating the Hebrew calendar into everyday life, not as a form of legalism but as a spiritual rhythm. The Feast Days are described as everlasting ordinances unto God Himself – His appointed times and seasons. The gift of Sabbath set at Creation, and the Hebrew months show patterns, cycles, and insights that are part of the inheritance of every grafted-in Believer. Aligning with God’s calendar and coming into greater awareness of His times and seasons is not an obligation or legalism, but a homecoming – an invitation to crawl, walk, run into a deeper life with Him. Join Rabbi and Pastor Michael as they share the cycle of the Feasts and their unfolding purpose, practical resources to learn more, and how aligning with God’s appointed times establishes a legacy of Kingdom purpose, faith, and identity for your family. #ChristianPodcast #TheCurtLandryPodcast #HebrewCalendar #JewishRoots #BiblicalTeaching #FeastsoftheLord

Fall Feast Guide: https://curtlandry.com/fallfeastbook In this episode of the Curt Landry Podcast, Rabbi Curt and Pastor Michael discuss the final Fall Feast, Sukkot, and how this 7-day period invites us to dwell in God's presence, reflecting on His protection and provision. Sukkot, also known as the Feast of Tabernacles, provides a tangible picture of tabernacling with God through the sukkah: a temporary structure that models the dwellings the Israelites lived in during their journey in the wilderness. These temporary dwelling places emphasized Israel’s vulnerability in the wild, fully dependent on God for protection and provision. This appointed time invites Believers to reflect on God’s faithful provision and presence, and to look forward to the joy to come when Jesus returns to rule, reign, and dwell with His people forever (Zechariah 14:16–19). Join Rabbi and Pastor Michael as they unpack the symbolism of Hebrew Year 5787, the banquet story the three Fall Feasts tell together, and the significance of coming under God’s canopy of glory this Sukkot. #ChristianPodcast #CurtLandryPodcast #BiblicalWisdom #Sukkot #5787 #BiblicalTeaching #JewishRoots
