Hour 1: How Christians Should Think About Israel
Israel and the Jewish people always seem to be in the headlines. Terrorism. War. Antisemitism on university campuses and around the globe. Jews are the topics of conversation in podcasts, on school campuses, and in our homes. Yet Christians are wondering about the modern State of Israel and contemporary Jewish people. Are they related to the biblical kingdom of Israel and the ancient Jewish people of the Scriptures? Others question whether Jewish people are only God’s people of yesterday, or do they have an ongoing place in God’s plan? How does the Church relate to the Jewish people, and why should Christians care about the Jewish people and their homeland? Join us with your calls as Dr. Michael Rydelnik answers these questions and more.
Hour 2: Is It Because Of Jesus?
Doubt touches every believer, yet for many today, these honest questions grow into a season of deconstruction. Author Pedro R. García will join us to address the confusion of doubt. He reveals that your biggest questions aren't necessarily an end to faith, but can actually be a doorway to a deeper one. Don’t miss this timely conversation.
