Welcome to Inside the Epicenter! In this episode, Joel Rosenberg is joined by Dr. Tommy Fretwell to unpack a crucial theological question: Has the church replaced Israel in God’s plan, or does God still have a unique purpose for the Jewish people? Together, they explore the roots and impact of supersessionism—also known as replacement theology—and discuss why some in the church believe God’s promises to Israel now belong to the church. From Tommy’s extensive research, they break down the different forms of this theology, its historical consequences, and why a biblical understanding of Israel is so important for believers today. Whether you’re a pastor, Bible student, or just curious about Israel’s place in God’s story, this episode is full of insight, scriptural clarity, and practical encouragement. Let’s dive into this essential conversation about Israel’s ongoing role in God’s redemptive plan.

Prayer: Praying that more and more pastors, ministry leaders, and bible teachers hunger to know the word of God from Genesis through Revelation.Pray that as they study, they have a deeper and deeper passion for knowing the scriptures. Pray that more and more pastors develop a hunger, not just for the New Testament, as wonderful as the New Testament is, but really the biblical promises made, the covenants made to Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob, and through their people to the Messianic prophecies. Praying that that hunger for God's word and an understanding, a clearer understanding of God's heart for Israel and the Jewish peoplePray that pastors who have sadly embraced supersessionism and replacement theology will begin to realize that they're mistaken. Pray that God would also minister to Jews who've been harmed, who've been hurt, who've been stung by antisemitism, by Christians who or people who claim to be Christians, but many even who are generally saved, but they just don't get Israel.
