Episode 156 - Can I Critique Israel’s Government and Not Be Antisemitic?

Can you question what Israel’s government is doing and still stand with Israel in a biblical way? 

Many Christians feel trapped between blind support on one side and hostility on the other. In a noisy moment filled with slogans and hot takes, the conversation needs more covenant, not less.

In this episode we step back into the big story of Scripture to separate three things most people blur together: Israel’s government, the Jewish people, and God’s eternal covenant. 

We look at the prophets, at Jesus, at Paul, and at the Gospel of John to see how the Bible itself models sharp internal critique without ever erasing God’s promises to Israel.

You will come away with a simple “compass” you can use before you tweet, preach, repost, or debate. 

The goal is not to tell you what to think about every policy, but to help you think inside the covenant story of God, so that your words carry truth, humility, and hope for both Israel and the nations.

Episode 155 - Are the Jewish People of Today the Jewish People of the Bible? (featuring Mottel Baleston)

There’s a rising chorus of voices - some hostile, others simply misinformed - claiming that modern Jews aren’t the same people God called His own in Scripture. 

In this episode, we sit down with Messianic teacher Mottel Baleston to dismantle the Khazar conspiracy and explore the deeper theological question behind it: Are the Jewish people of today truly the covenant people of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob?

Baleston traces the Jewish story through Scripture, history, and even modern genetics to show that God’s promises have never been revoked. 

The Jewish people remain central to His plan of redemption, not as spiritual relics, but as living proof that God keeps His word. 

This isn’t just about disproving bad history - it’s about recovering biblical clarity for the Church and real love for Israel.
