Israel is un the midst of its biggest national trauma in at least 50 years if not ever. Many Israelis have turned to their faith and a deeper connection to God and religious observance. Despite the horrors, many are seeing God’s hand in subtle and more obvious miracles in the war. Rabbis Ari Haber and Netanel Weil are both military rabbis who have done their reserve service since October 7 literally in the trenches. And they see God’s presence often. Join us for an insightful and inspiring conve...

Dr. David Nehring is a friend and asked one day, how I was doing and could he help. I don’t talk openly about my feelings and stresses dealing with the war in Israel, nor do I hide these. This led to an important conversation that was so helpful personally, it was instinctive that we needed to have a wider conversation, to help Israelis struggling with the daily reality of the war, and both Jews and Christians around the world who stand with Israel and who are no less pained by the daily events....

Dr. Rollan Roberts is a Republican candidate for President of the United States. You may have never heard of him, but you want to hear from him. As a Christian, his faith guides his views and policies, and this is especially the case as it relates to supporting Israel and countering antisemitism and threats of Islamic terror. He makes a compelling case as to why he should be elected, noting that relating to Israel and other policies Americans should have a leader who is rooted in principles not ...

Over four months into Israel’s war against Hamas, with threats coming from Hezbollah in Lebanon, the Houthis in Yemen, and the Islamic regime in Iran, Maj. (res) Elliott Chodoff offers insights to the successes, failures, and challenges of the war so far, and implications and projections looking ahead. How will Israel finish in Gaza with Hamas, how and when to deal with the necessity to eliminate Hezbollah’s threats, and what to do – and what not to do – to stop the Iranian regime. Where do Isra...

The US Presidential election is in full swing, and Israel is at war. From a distance, the two may not seem to be so connected. However the nature of the campaign and US support for Israel does risk impacting how Israel is able to carry out the war against Hamas. How will the two remaining Republican candidates use this in their favor, and what are the risks and possibilities for President Biden who also is campaigning within his own party? John Haller and Jonathan Tobin are noted journalists and...

Pastor Jobst Bittner is a pioneering Christian leader, not just as a pastor, but as a German, spearheading German reconciliation with Israel and the Jewish people where German’s today are taking responsibility for the crimes of their parents and grandparents just a few generations ago.

Nicole Jansezian is a respected American born journalist in Israel. We took a road trip to communities and sites along the Gaza border where we were able to see and hear the ongoing war against Hamas, witness the aftermath of the death and destruction of the Hamas massacre on October 7, and learn A LOT, both depressing and inspiring. We each made our Top Ten list of the most impressive or significant things we saw and experienced, and what are the needs. It’s an insightful conversation bringing ...

The government of South Africa filed charges against Israel in the International Court of Justice for genocide. Why is South Africa, with enough of its own problems from crime, murder, unemployment, lack of energy, perpetual droughts, and more social problems is spearheading baseless charges against Israel? How are charges of genocide against Israel being used to deflect South African’s attention from urgent domestic issues ahead of their upcoming national election? With a government that cozies...

As of the air date of this episode, there are still some 130 hostages held in captivity by Hamas in Gaza. That they were kidnapped to begin with is not only an inhuman war crime, but every day they are held in captivity Hamas’ crimes are made worse. Aryeh Green is an intelligent writer and gifted communicator, and we address one of the most horrible issues in Israeli society today: the unconditional release of ALL the hostages. The conversation is inspiring, but the issues are challenging, even ...

In the aftermath of the war that’s far from over, some of the most long term trauma will be felt by children and their parents. As parents, it’s our job to protect our children but in war, and when your community is bombarded by rockets and overrun by terrorists, the trauma for parents not being able to protect their children and for the children is many times greater. This is all the more for children classified as “at-risk” who come from homes where their parents don’t provide the safest envir...

Pastors Cameron Brice, Shawn Gabie, Dwayne Hardin, Juan Rivera, and Micah Wood arrived in Israel for 72 hours as part of a solidarity mission with Eagles Wings. This powerful and inspiring conversation ranges from what they thought and how they responded in the aftermath of the October 7 massacre, to speaking about pastors who don’t get it, don’t support Israel, and need help to understand. As would be with any assembly of five incredible Christian leaders, there is no shortage of talking direct...

It was a more powerful moment to come to Israel and be baptized in the Jordan River than to win the Super Bowl. That’s according to former NFL player Earl Christy. Powerful indeed. He and Tyrone Keys, previous Super Bowl champions shared their experiences along with Chad Burmeister of the Pro Player Prayer Project. It’s an intense and personal conversation about their faith and the significance of Israel at this time, and how all Christians must come to Israel’s defense. After all, the best off...

Israel has begun a careful initiative to show an unedited 47 minute video, compilation of images filmed by the actual terrorists who perpetrated the October 7 massacres in Israel, CCTV images, and first responder experiences. They are described as the most horrific thing people have ever seen. What are the responses to seeing these images that cannot be unseen? Should they be shown at all, or even more widely? What about allegations from journalists and others that the massacre didn’t really hap...

Last week, a group of American cowboys, dressed in wide-brimmed hats, denim jeans, leather belts with large buckles and well-worn boots, galloped into Israel, capturing Israel by storm when spotted at JFK airport. By the time they landed, their picture had gone viral, and then another one went viral again from Ben Gurion Airport. Remarkably, after the war started, the cowboys not only arrived to help Israelis tend their land, but some of them left their own farms, and their families, literally t...

A consequence of Israel’s war against Hamas has been the unleashing of rabid, ugly, and violent antisemitism all over the world. Rather than protesting against Israel (or for Palestinian Arabs), many cases exist of protesting and threatening Jews, and active support of Hamas. Individuals have been threatened with violence, rape, and murder. How are Christians who love and stand with Israel and the Jewish people dealing with and responding to this? In this episode we speak with three inspiring Ch...

On December 18, 2010, Kristine Luken and Tal Hartuv were on a hike in the Judean hills outside Jerusalem when they were discovered, bound and gagged, and repeatedly stabbed by Palestinian Arab terrorists. Kristine was an American Christian and died. Tal miraculously survived. This is the first time that Tal and Kristine’s twin sister, Kathleen, are having a public conversation about their survival, and now after the Hamas attack on Israel, what that means to them as survivors.

On October 7, Israel suffered a gruesome surprise attack by Hamas, an evil Islamic terror organization that took control of Gaza in 2007, and has made life painful for Israelis and Palestinian Arabs ever since. Hamas terrorists came armed with manuals and vast weapons to commit some of the most atrocious crimes against humanity seen. As of this report, more than 1400 were massacred, mostly civilians including women, children and even infants who were beheaded and burned alive. How does Israel fi...

This year, there have been a number of offensive assaults on Christians in Israel from spitting to aggressive protests, vandalism and desecration of church properties. These have become more public, and perhaps more frequent, especially this month when one particular video went viral of Orthodox Jews spitting at Christians in Jerusalem’s Old City. What’s behind this? What can be done? Is there a light at the end of the tunnel? Please donate generously to the Israel Emergency Campaign at www.love...
