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.

What happens when a quiet Canadian pastor steps into the rising tide of global antisemitism?

Chris Byberg isn’t looking to be a hero. He’s looking to be a friend.

A friend to rabbis. A friend to Jewish neighbors. A friend who refuses to stay silent.

In this gripping conversation, Chris shares his personal transformation - from growing up in a Jewish neighborhood to standing on the front lines of spiritual warfare in Parliament Hill. 

He talks about the fear that silences pastors, the indifference that numbs the Church, and the quiet strength of showing up, again and again, in the name of love.

He reminds us that allyship isn’t found in hashtags. It’s forged in fire. In tears. In prayer.
In the kind of bold friendship that lays down comfort for covenant.

In this episode, Messianic pastor and pioneer Eitan Shishkoff shares his journey from the Jesus Movement in California to planting communities of faith in the Galilee.

He shares the story behind Tents of Mercy, reflects on the struggles and beauty of aliyah, and casts a vision for unity between Jewish and Arab believers within Israel. With humility and hope, Eitan calls the global Church to recognize its connection to Israel - not as charity, but as family.

This isn’t just history. It’s prophecy in motion.

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

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.

Josh Roberts was a young Baptist pastor when he felt God whisper, “What about Israel?” That question changed everything.

In this episode, Josh shares how a simple Bible study in Romans 9–11 shattered his assumptions and led him to launch Qashar Ministries - a ministry focused on reconnecting the Church to the Jewish people, the Land of Israel, and the heart of God.

From confronting replacement theology to championing the One New Man, Josh unpacks why God’s covenant with Israel still matters, why the Church has drifted from its roots, and how unity between Jew and Gentile is key to unlocking the fullness of God’s plan.

This isn’t just about theology. It’s about awakening. It’s about identity. And it’s about preparing the Bride for Messiah’s return.

From a life-changing encounter with Arnold Fruchtenbaum to building global discipleship resources translated into Swahili, Urdu, and Spanish, David’s journey is rooted in reclaiming the full biblical story.

They explore why Torah still matters, how modern churches often sideline Israel, and why a Star of David baseball cap stirred everything from conversations to controversy. 

With humility and passion, David calls the Church to return to its Jewish foundation - not just for theological accuracy, but for spiritual vitality.

Jerusalem isn’t just a city - it’s the heartbeat of history.

From King David’s capital to Montefiore’s daring vision, from the Six-Day War to October 7th, Amir shares not only the triumphs but the traumas that have shaped Israel’s soul.

But this isn’t only about history. It’s about faith, resilience, and the question echoing across centuries: Where is God in the struggle? 

Amir’s stories - personal, raw, and powerful - give us a window into Israel’s pain, its perseverance, and its unshakable hope.

As anti-Semitism rises worldwide, Amir reminds us that truth still matters. Evil is real. But so is redemption. And in the middle of war, prayer, and tears, there is a greater story unfolding.

What happens when a boy grows up in the crossfire of Lebanon’s civil war, trains in Israel’s military camps, and survives a bomb blast by a miracle? Pastor Pierre Altunia’s life is a tapestry of danger, loss, and unexpected grace.

From being kidnapped by the PLO to fighting Hezbollah, his story is filled with moments where death seemed certain - until God intervened.

But this is more than a soldier’s memoir. It’s the journey of a man who knew “Christian” only as a label - until relentless love from his wife and a persistent pastor led him to surrender to Yeshua. 

Now leading a vibrant Messianic congregation in northern Israel, Pierre stands as both shepherd and protector, guiding his flock through rockets, war, and the hope of reconciliation between Jew and Gentile.

This is faith forged in fire, hope born in the shadow of conflict, and a call to stand with Israel for the sake of God’s Kingdom.
