Episode 146 - Still Chosen: Why Are So Many Christians Confused About Israel Right Now?
Helping Christians make sense of their roots. Helping the Jewish community make sense of Jesus. Together, we are restoring the Jewishness of the gospel.
Christians are deconstructing - and Israel is getting left behind.
In this gripping episode, Matt and Ron Davis tackle a spiritual crisis erupting across the Church. As Christians deconstruct their faith, many are also unraveling their support for Israel.
But this isn’t just about politics or theology - it’s a battle for the narrative of God’s story.
Through honest reflection, cultural commentary, and biblical insight, the Davises unpack the subtle ways antisemitism creeps into pulpits and prayer rooms.
From the dangers of progressive ideology to the fear of social backlash, this conversation holds nothing back.
It’s not about taking sides. It’s about staying rooted.
Because if we lose Israel, we lose the plot.
Key Takeaways
Deconstruction isn’t neutral. When people abandon parts of the Bible, Israel is often the first casualty.
Progressive Christian movements are sidelining Israel. Love without truth becomes dangerous.
Silence from the Church enables antisemitism. Fear of controversy can lead to theological compromise.
Support for Israel is part of the Gospel. Not a political statement - a prophetic one.
We must disciple well. Teaching the full biblical narrative includes God’s covenant with Israel.
