The physical war in Israel is actually a reflection of the spiritual war being fought in the heavenlies. As believers, we're called to look at life through the pages of Scripture. The political world may be abuzz with opinions while at the same time social media is shaping the minds of young people when it comes to Israel vs. Hamas. But all that should matter little to us.  As Jesus Church, it's time to stand for Israel as the Bible tells us to. But, can we do that and at the same time love the Palestinians and want the best for them too?  We can. We should. Tom and JoAnn tell you how. 

On October 7th, Israel woke up to find itself on the brink of a regional war.  The Hamas attack on the Jewish State was barbaric, inhumane and everyone from Holocaust Survivors to tiny infants were targeted, kidnapped and cruelly killed. The world gasped at the animalistic treatment that was captured and celebrated by Hamas. Israel was in a state of shock and so was the world itself. But then, the devil opened pandora's box and antisemitism is now sweeping the globe with fury as people unashamedly call for genocide against all Jews. The tiny nation of Israel is not only surrounded by hostility in Middle East, but the entire world seems to have turned against them. Israel and Jews around the world are suffering. Palestinians also and especially the ones who love Jesus in Gaza are suffering as a long ground war has opened up right where they live. Is there any hope? There is, and Tom and JoAnn Doyle tell you why.

The battle for the hearts and minds of our children and grandchildren is raging in America. Who could've imagined the evil and immorality our little innocents would be exposed to daily just a few years ago? Schools and public libraries have been invaded by those who are forcing the LGBTQ agenda on children and preschoolers complete with graphic books and transgender story hours. What can we do as followers of Christ to stand up against this in a godly way? Angel Davis is a joyful follower of Jesus, a clinical psychologist, a gifted podcaster, and also a mom and a grandmother. She decided to do something in her community about the spreading indoctrination of our children. She desperately wanted to stand up for Biblical truth in a winsome and godly way and God led her every step of the way to do just that. You'll be inspired by Angel's testimony. After you hear Angel Davis, check out her excellent podcast- Have You Not Heard?

Do Christians ever convert to Islam? Mike Westerfield did after he was raised in a Christian home and a regular church attender. It all started when he worked in a prison and Muslim inmates began to ask him questions about the Trinity. He couldn't explain it. That small flicker of doubt turned into a complete rejection of his Christian beliefs and he fully embraced Islam. Mike even studied to become an imam. But Jesus never gave up on Mike and faithful family and friends didn't either. Mike's story will touch your heart and it's captured on film with the dynamic ministry of I Found the Truth. It already has over 1 million views globally!

In Jerusalem, Tom and JoAnn just caught up with Maxim and Slavna, both Russian Jewish Believers who are shockingly serving Ukrainians during the grueling one year war.

Again, we see that only Jesus can break through all human barriers and nothing can stop His love even if it's delivered by the so called "enemy." 

Fouad Masri grew up in Lebanon and hated Muslims. Where he lived, the wars were constant and the Islamic terrorists made his life miserable. But after Fouad received Jesus as Savior, God softened his heart and he began to engage Muslims with the gospel. He found they were open to the love of Christ and decided to tell others what he'd learned in sharing Christ with Muslims. Fouad ended up launching a global ministry that has trained over 400,000 believers to share Christ effectively with the people of Islam. As the founder of The Crescent Project, Fouad is an expert on Islam and his new book will teach you what you need to know to reach Muslims for Christ!

Why are so many westerners embarrassed by miracle stories and doubt they still happen? That's the question that our guest Dr. J.P. Moreland is asking today. In his new book-"A Simple Guide to Experience Miracles" J.P. who is a distinguished professor of Philosophy at Talbot Seminary states that many Christians think anyone who talks about miracles is goofy and not living in the real world. Admittedly, there is a lot of "miracle abuse" and crazy claims out there that don't hold up, but as followers of Christ, our Savior told us in John 15:7 "If you abide in Me and My words abide in you, ask whatever you wish and it will be done for you?" Too many Christians are living like practical deists who take human reason over divine intervention and that's dangerous. Dr. Moreland and the Doyles share first hand inspirational miracle stories and you will be challenged to pray for God to move in power in your life!
