Episode 143 - Why Zionism Is Biblical, Not Political (featuring Dan Eshed)

What’s it like to live on the frontlines of biblical prophecy and modern warfare?

In this gripping conversation, we are joined by Dan Eshed, a third-generation Israeli and IDF soldier who shares firsthand what life is like just an hour from Gaza. 

From serving in Gaza and Lebanon to navigating the heartbreak of hostages, Dan reveals the deeply human and spiritual layers of Israel’s ongoing fight for survival.

They discuss the challenges of distinguishing civilians from Hamas operatives, the global misunderstanding of Zionism, and the raw tension between justice, mercy, and truth. 

Dan’s insights are both sobering and hopeful as he describes how solidarity, biblical identity, and divine calling shape Israel’s unshakable resilience - even under fire.

If you want to understand Israel beyond the headlines - from a biblical, historical, and personal lens - this episode will challenge and inspire you.
