Episode 127 - Foreshadowing

Joseph was thrown into a pit. Sold into slavery. Locked in prison. But God had a plan - a plan bigger than anyone could see. A plan that would save his people. 

Sound familiar?

Joseph isn’t just a historical figure - he’s a foreshadowing of the Messiah. 

From his betrayal by his own brothers to his rise to power in Egypt, every detail points to something greater. His story echoes through time - straight to the life, death, and resurrection of Yeshua.

But here’s the real question: Why didn’t his brothers recognize him? And why don’t so many Jewish people recognize Jesus today?

In this episode, we uncover the hidden layers in Joseph’s story and how they connect to Israel’s ultimate redemption. 

If you’ve ever wondered why the Jewishness of Jesus matters, this one’s for you.

Episode 126 - Silence

Silence has never stopped evil - it only fuels it.

We've seen it before. Nazi Germany. 9/11. Tehran, 1979. 

And now, once again, the world is looking away. As thousands are slaughtered in Syria, as anti-Semitism spreads like wildfire, and as Israel faces existential threats, the silence is deafening.

In this episode, we unpack the ancient and modern battle against the Jewish people - and why the story of Esther, Mordecai, and Purim is more relevant than ever. 

The enemy’s tactics haven’t changed. Neither has the need for bold voices to rise up.

Esther had a choice: speak up or stay silent. You have the same choice today.

Key Takeaways

  • Silence feeds evil. History shows that when the world stays quiet, the worst atrocities unfold.

  • Israel is under attack - again. The enemies of the Jewish people are always calling for annihilation, and today is no different.

  • The Book of Esther is about courage. God’s name is hidden, but His hand is clear - just like today.

  • Evil always overplays its hand. Haman thought he had won - until the tables turned.

  • This is your Esther moment. Will you speak out, or will you look away?

This is no time for silence. The battle against the Jewish people is ancient, but the call remains the same: who will stand?

Episode 125 - Unshaken (featuring Max Long & Noy Leyb)

They had jobs. 

They had plans. 

Then October 7th happened.

Two IDF soldiers left their comfortable lives to fight for Israel. Now, they’re walking through NRB wearing shirts that say, “Ask me anything.” 

And the world needs to hear their answers.

This isn’t just a war in Israel - it’s a war of truth. 

Hamas hides behind civilians, while the world looks away. Universities echo propaganda. Social media spreads lies. 

And Jewish voices? They’re being silenced.

But these soldiers aren’t backing down. 

They’ve seen the tunnels. 

They’ve held the evidence. 

They’ve lost friends in the fight. 

Now, they’re exposing the truth and calling Christians to stand with Israel - before it’s too late.

If you think you know what’s happening in Israel, think again.

Episode 124 - Politics (featuring Moshe Sigulim)

Israel is exhausted. 

The war has stretched on for 15 months. 

The weight of it - physically, emotionally, spiritually - is crushing. And yet, as the world watches, the narratives surrounding Israel are being twisted beyond recognition. 

Lies, conspiracies, and political maneuvers flood the headlines, and the church is left asking: 

What is actually happening?

In this episode, we sit down with Moshe Sigulim - an Israeli with deep personal ties to the military, the land, and the people of Israel. 

He’s lived through war. 

He’s lost friends. 

He’s seen firsthand what’s at stake. 

And he’s here to cut through the noise.

We’re talking about the spiritual and political storm surrounding Israel, the unsettling rise of global anti-Semitism, and why the world is obsessed with placing Israel at the center of every conflict. 

But more than that, we’re wrestling with prophecy, the longing for peace, and the hard truth that Israel is searching for a savior - just not the Savior.

If you care about Israel, if you want to see through the media fog, if you want to understand what the Bible actually says about the days we’re living in - this episode is a must-listen.

Because what’s happening in Israel isn’t just political. 

It’s spiritual. 

And it’s unfolding right before our eyes.
