Hour 1: Praying For The Peace of Jerusalem
Join us this hour as we talk with one of the most beloved professors at Moody Bible Institute. Dr. Michael Rydelnik will walk us through the headlines of the day dealing with the nation of Israel. Why is there mounting global pressure against Israel? And what is causing the unprecedented rise of modern anti-Semitism? Can there ever be a “2-state” solution? Don’t miss a minute of this fascinating conversation.
Hour 2: Lengthening Your Prayer List
Our focus this hour is on the Persecuted Church. The nation of Iran is making headlines almost every day. But the real story never shows up in the evening news. Why are so many coming to faith in Christ while living in both a repressive regime and a theocracy? Then, we will update you on several stories where believers are paying a price for following Jesus. Get out those prayer lists because today, they will get longer!
