Nearly 2,000 years ago, Jerusalem fell after political and religious divisions among Jews spiraled into civil war. As Israel heads toward another election after years of political upheaval, October 7 and war, Dan speaks with filmmaker Gidi Dar and Rabb...

Packinghouse's Wednesday night worship service from September 16, 2026. As Israel continues through the wilderness, God leads them through difficult situations that teach them to trust His love and care. When the people find themselves without water, they doubt God and accuse Him of bringing them out to die, yet He responds with grace and provides water from the rock, pointing forward to Jesus. Later, when Amalek attacks, Joshua fights in the valley while Moses prays on the mountain, with Aaron and Hur holding up his weary hands. Through both trials, God shows His people that He is with them, patiently growing their faith and teaching them to depend on Him and one another. - Greg Opean - Wednesday, September 16, 2026

Text: 2 Kings chapters 14 – 27; 2 Chronicles chapters 26 – 28; Books of Hosea and Micah; Isaiah chapters 1-39 Supplemental Text: The Fourth Thousand Years chapters 18-19 BYU Lecture 39  Judah on the south and Israel on the north had both become strong, powerful nations, yet they were cankered with corruption, immortality, evil and decadence like the heathen. The prophet Hosea cried repentance in vain but remained hopeful. As Israel began to derail under corrupt government and assassinations, her tributaries began to flee and join with Judah. Israel broke into civil war under tyrannical rule of wicked king Menahem. In Judah, Uzziah rose to power and became a king after the pattern of Solomon. Judah embraced tributaries fleeing from Israel and conquered territories on the south, becoming a powerful, independent nation. Suddenly, from the north of Israel came the menacing forces of Assyria. Israel tried to make alliances with all the western nations to confront Assyria, but Judah, now ruled by the wicked king Ahaz, refused to join. Israel was so angry, an army was sent to Judah to force them to join. Isaiah comes on the scene and counsels king Ahaz not to fight Israel and Syria. But Ahaz did not listen, rather he stripped the temple of gold and valuables, sent them to the king of Assyria and asked for help in defending Judah. Assyria accepted the bribe but did not defend Judah. So Ahaz turned to the pagan gods and offered obscene sacrifices, pleading for help. He even sacrificed his own son on the alter. To Ahaz, this must have seemed to be successful for Israel turned from Judah to face the attacking Assyrians from the north. The prophet Isaiah is introduced and his ministry during this period is reviewed. The Book of Isaiah is difficult to read for several reasons. It is deliberately obscure to prevent too many prophetic details to be revealed which can manipulate our choices. It is also difficult because it is written in poetic form and he skips around history. He is also a brilliant and advanced writer with a large vocabulary. A brief biography and history of Isaiah is given, along with some of his Messianic prophesies we study today. For example, he gives Ahaz a sign that a virgin will conceive and bear a son named Immanuel.

This week, Pastor Jason shares a message from Hosea 9 titled “The Danger of Drifting.” As Israel's gradual drift from God leads far from the purpose God had given them; to false worship, rejected truth, and spiritual fruitlessness, we are warned against allowing the same kind of compromise into our own lives and churches. Yet even when sin has left a life broken and lost, Jesus still offers forgiveness, redemption, and restoration.

CROSSING OVER — Navigating from Here to ThereChange can be uncomfortable. Here is familiar. Here is safe. Here is what we know. But what if God is calling us to there?Launching our new Crossing Over series from Joshua 1, Adam explores what happens when God invites us into a new season — and why some of the greatest growth, joy and fruitfulness in our lives can be found on the other side of saying yes to Him.As Israel stood on the edge of the Promised Land, God gave Joshua some important instructions:

In Exodus 17, we discover how to change the landscape of our lives by cultivating gratitude and making prayer our first response. As Israel faced hardship in the wilderness, their grumbling revealed a deeper struggle with trust and faith. This message challenges us to replace grumbling with gratitude and desperation with prayer, trusting that when we pray, God works.

Are today's conflicts preparing the world for the war described in Ezekiel 38? This Q&A tackles major questions surrounding Israel's future, the Tribulation, the pre-Tribulation versus pre-wrath Rapture, the Millennial Kingdom, God's promises to Israel, and whether today's natural disasters have prophetic significance. As Israel grows stronger while its enemies reposition themselves, Scripture provides the framework for understanding what comes next.Connect with us on social:Telegram: @beholdisraelchannelInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/amir.tsarfati/Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/beholdisrael/X: https://x.com/beholdisraelYouTube: https://youtube.com/@beholdisrael

Every story has a beginning, and every people have a history that shapes their future. As Israel's story begins under oppression in Egypt, we meet ordinary people—the Hebrew midwives and Pharaoh's daughter—whose courageous faith changes history. Their stories remind us that faith has never been confined to houses of worship but has always been lived out in the public square.  Tune in to this week's podcast with Pastor Melissa as she explores Exodus 1 so we can consider how God is speaking to us through this Scripture today.

What is the greatest need in your life? Most of us would quickly think of answers like wisdom, healing, direction, provision, or breakthrough. But in Exodus 33, God confronts His people with a much deeper question: What if you had all of those things, but not His presence? As Israel wrestles with that reality, they discover that God's presence is not just another blessing—it is the blessing. In our message today, we will see how this passage invites us to rediscover what it means to live as people who long for God above everything else and who understand that His presence changes everything.

For review:1.  US President Donald Trump on Monday said that Washington and Tehran were currently engaged in talks, pushing back on Iranian claims to the contrary and accusing the Islamic Republic of being “unbelievably duplicitous.”  In a post on his Truth Social platform, Trump lashed out at Iran and insisted that negotiations over reopening the Strait of Hormuz had already begun and that more were scheduled imminently. 2.  As Israel faced growing criticism from the Board of Peace for its continued strikes on Gaza, despite Hamas's recent signing of a US-backed disarmament plan, a senior Israeli spokesman said Monday that the roadmap “does not reflect Israel's positions,” and “stands in direct contrast to the current reality” in the Strip. 3.  Former Mossad chief David Barnea is joining Ondas Defense Ltd. as its global president and chairman, the NASDAQ-traded company announced on Monday. 4.  President Volodymyr Zelensky dismissed Olha Stefanishyna from her post as Ukraine's ambassador to the U.S., according to a decree published on the presidential website on Aug. 3. 5.  Ukraine President Zelensky on Tuesday (21 July) fired Gen. Oleksandr Syrskyi as commander-in-chief of the armed forces and named his replacement, following days of mass protests in Kyiv, the country's capital, and other cities across the nation demanding his removal. President Zelenskyy appointed Mykhailo Drapatyi as the new commander according to a statement on social media. 6.  President Volodymyr Zelensky appointed National Security and Defense Council Secretary Rustem Umerov as head of Ukraine's Foreign Intelligence Service, according to a decree published on the presidential website on Aug. 3. 7.  Poland is preparing to host the first military drills for the so-called Coalition of the Willing with British and French forces. A spokesperson for the Polish Ministry of National Defence told Defense News that the military exercise, which is scheduled to be held this fall, is part of the group's preparations for the post-war reality in Ukraine.8.   Anduril's first Ohio-made unmanned, semi-autonomous aircraft rolled off the production line Monday, just four months after its beginning. In January 2026, Anduril declared that its first product would be the YFQ-44A, a missionized variant of the company's FQ-44, or “Fury,” autonomous fighter jet, for the U.S. Air Force's Collaborative Combat Aircraft program. The $1 billion, 5 million-square-foot facility is located near Rickenbacker International Airport.

The Israeli parliament's decision to postpone a vote on recognising the Armenian genocide by Ottoman Turkey is being seen as a triumph for regional diplomacy, as Azerbaijan in particular seeks to avert a further escalation in tensions between its close allies. The Israeli government gave no official reason for postponing the vote to formally recognise the Armenian genocide by Ottoman Turkey during World War I, which would have ratified a motion approved by the cabinet last month.  Ankara strongly denies the deaths of hundreds of thousands of Armenians constitute genocide. While the motion's architect, Israeli Foreign Minister Gideon Sa'ar, called recognition a “moral duty”, critics say the move took aim at Turkey amidst rising tensions. Based in Tbilisi, Israeli defence and security expert Eugene Kogan claims Israel badly miscalculated. “Foreign Minister Sa'ar could have waited and not just dropped a bomb that led to different repercussions coming from different sides,” he said. Armenia, which is seeking to normalise ties with Turkey, reacted coolly, with Prime Minister Nikol Pashinyan saying he saw no need to comment. Meanwhile, Israel's close ally Azerbaijan reportedly lobbied Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu to drop the motion. “At the end of the day, it might be either dropped or dismissed, and it will not come again to the new parliament agenda,” predicted Kogan. The Knesset dissolved on 17 July and won't reconvene until after elections scheduled for 27 October. Israel's recognition of the Armenian genocide unsettles Turkey and Azerbaijan Azerbaijan's influence The Israeli newspaper Haaretz reported that pressure from Azerbaijan tipped the scales, though officials deny it. Azerbaijan supplies nearly 40 percent of Israel's oil and is a major customer for Israeli arms. The two countries' partnership involves frequent Israeli ministerial visits and strong military cooperation, especially crucial for Israel given Azerbaijan's border with Iran. Baku also maintains a deep alliance with Ankara, summed up in the phrase “one nation, two states”. As Israeli-Turkish tensions flare over the Gaza conflict and Ankara's support for Hamas, Azerbaijan is walking a diplomatic tightrope. Zaur Gasimov, a Caucasus expert at Istanbul's Turkish-German University, believes Baku viewed the Israeli genocide motion as a direct threat to its difficult balancing act. “I can imagine that there were negotiations and talks on various levels between political elites of both countries,” he said. “For Israel, Azerbaijan is still of paramount importance. I would even say it's much more significant than it used to be with regard to the situation in and around Iran. So Baku was and is maybe the key intermediary between Israel and the Republic of Turkey.” In what may be a calculated move to turn up the heat on Israel, Azerbaijan's President Ilham Aliyev welcomed Palestinian Prime Minister Mohammad Mustafa this month. It was the first visit by a Palestinian leader since 2011. “They [Israel] perceive it with a great sense of caution,” claimed analyst Kogan. “They don't know exactly what came out of this particular meeting between Aliyev and the Palestinian prime minister. And so there is a lot of guessing games right now taking place in both Tel Aviv and Jerusalem about the outcome.” Such ambiguity over Baku's intentions could strengthen its diplomatic hand, he suggested: “If Aliyev is involved in this Palestinian issue directly and no longer indirectly, it makes the situation very different for the Israelis.” Turkey warns it could be Israel's 'next enemy' as tensions escalate Syrian precedent Baku is already leveraging its strong relationships with both Israel and Turkey to cool tempers. “We have organised meetings between Turkey and Israel in Baku, specifically at the very beginning of the change of the Assad regime in Syria, where both parties had their own legitimate concerns,” said Hikmet Hajiyev, chief foreign policy adviser to the Azerbaijani president. Syria is viewed as a potential flashpoint, with Israel and Turkey having a military presence. One tangible outcome of Azeri-brokered talks was the establishment last year of a military hotline in Syria, providing a rare glimmer of hope as tensions continue to mount. “It's not unavoidable that Israel and Turkey will reach confrontation. I think we can stop this process,” argued Gallia Lindenstrauss, a specialist in Turkish foreign policy at Tel Aviv University's Institute for National Security Studies. “They have a hotline between the Israeli Air Force and the Turkish Air Force, making sure that we will not have a collision in the skies of Syria, because we know both air forces are operating there. And the hotline has managed to keep the situation quiet. If I'm trying to find some anchor of reassurance that Turkish-Israeli relations can be controlled, it's Syria.” As Israel approaches elections, a temporary lull in Turkish-Israeli tensions is anticipated. Still, since the main opposition shares the government's concerns over Turkey, relations are set to remain fraught.

Israel says it's planning a major military operation in the occupied West Bank. Settler attacks on Palestinians are intensifying, becoming increasingly violent. As Israel is gearing up for an election, how does this escalation serve Benjamin Netanyahu and his far-right partners?

We delve into the era of the judges, focusing on the extraordinary story of Deborah and Jael. As Israel faces severe oppression under Jabin, king of Canaan, and his commander Sisera, God raises up Deborah, a prophetess and judge, who calls Barak to lead an army against their enemies. Despite Barak's initial fear, he follows Deborah's guidance to victory. However, the ultimate glory goes to Jael, a non-Israelite woman, who kills Sisera, fulfilling a prophecy of Deborah.Support the showRead along with us in the Bible Brief App!

Twenty years after Israel uprooted Jewish communities from Gaza and Northern Samaria, history is taking a dramatic turn.In a landmark agreement signed in the presence of Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, the Israeli government and the Samaria Regional Council have launched an 8.5 billion shekel plan to build 12,000 new housing units, along with commercial, industrial, and tourism infrastructure. The broader vision includes 18 new Jewish communities in Northern Samaria—including the rebuilding of the four communities destroyed during the 2005 Disengagement.At our recent Pulse of Israel Conference, we honored Samaria Regional Council head Yossi Dagan with the Brave Leadership of Zion Award. Expelled from his home in Sanur during the Disengagement, Yossi transformed personal tragedy into a lifelong mission of rebuilding the Jewish heartland. Just last week, our Pulse of Israel Mission visited Sanur and Chomesh, witnessing firsthand this historic return.For many Israelis, October 7 confirmed that withdrawing from territory and empowering jihadist enemies does not bring peace—it invites more terror. The testimony of Be'eri survivor Avida Bechar, who lost his wife and son in the massacre, has reinforced for many the belief that the conflict is rooted in the rejection of Jewish sovereignty rather than borders alone.As Israel approaches another election, the future of Judea and Samaria has become one of the defining issues facing the nation.

The future of healthcare isn't just smarter agentic AI—it's better access. Hyro is transforming how patients connect with health systems through responsible AI that simplifies scheduling, streamlines support, and helps people get the care they need. In this episode, Hyro CEO and Co-Founder Israel Krush shares how AI agents are helping some of the nation's largest health systems modernize the patient experience. Driven by the belief that many of healthcare's biggest challenges can be solved through responsible AI, Hyro has focused on improving what Israel describes as one of the most critical interactions in healthcare: the connection between patients and the health system. From automating appointment scheduling and call center operations to closing care gaps and improving engagement, Hyro is driving measurable results while keeping care human-centered. As Israel explains, "We want to transform healthcare. We want to disrupt healthcare. We don't want to own healthcare." Israel also discusses what it takes to scale agentic AI in healthcare, why responsible guardrails matter, and how organizations can move from experimentation to real-world impact. Along the way, he shares lessons on leadership, innovation, digital transformation, and building technology that solves meaningful healthcare challenges. Tune in to learn how AI agents are reshaping access to care and creating better experiences for patients, providers, and health systems alike.

We delve into the story of deception involving the Gibeonites. As Israel continues its conquest of Canaan, they encounter the Gibeonites, who, fearing for their lives, deceive Joshua and the leaders into making a peace treaty. This agreement violated God's command not to make covenants with the inhabitants of Canaan. Despite realizing the deception, Joshua honors the treaty due to their oath to Yahweh, making the Gibeonites perpetual laborers for Israel. Support the showRead along with us in the Bible Brief App!

From the ancient words of the Torah to the modern frontlines, a hidden shift is taking place that will redefine what it means to be an Israeli. Is the Haredi draft crisis really about military service—or about the future of the Jewish people? As Israel struggles with one of its most divisive public debates, Geoffrey Stern sits down with Rabbi Yehoshua Pfeffer—founder of the Iyun Institute, editor of Tzarich Iyun, and one of the leading intellectual voices emerging from within the Haredi community—for a thoughtful and surprisingly hopeful conversation. Key Takeaways Brotherhood Before Politics Moses doesn't ask, "Who should be drafted?" He asks, "Shall your brothers go to war while you remain here?" The Torah frames the issue not as one of politics or legal rights, but of achdut—brotherhood, shared destiny, and mutual responsibility. A Quiet Revolution Is Already Underway Behind the headlines, profound changes are taking place within Haredi society. Rabbi Yehoshua Pfeffer argues that a new generation is rediscovering Tanach, engaging questions of citizenship and public responsibility, and seeking ways to integrate Torah values with participation in the life and defense of the Jewish State. Judaism Is Ultimately a Religion of Hope Despite the tensions surrounding the draft, Rabbi Pfeffer remains remarkably optimistic. Like the tribes of Reuben and Gad, both Israeli society and the Haredi community are still evolving. The future will not be shaped by slogans or coercion, but by honest conversation, mutual respect, and a renewed commitment to seeing one another as brothers.

Welcome to Day 2898 of Wisdom-Trek. Thank you for joining me. This is Guthrie Chamberlain, Your Guide to Wisdom. Day 2898 – Wisdom Nuggets – Psalm 139:19-24 Daily Wisdom Wisdom-Trek Podcast Script - Day 2898 Welcome to Wisdom-Trek with Gramps! I am Guthrie Chamberlain, and we are on Day 2898 of our Trek. The Purpose of Wisdom-Trek is to create a legacy of wisdom, to seek out discernment and insights, and to boldly grow where few have chosen to grow before. Today's title is: Search Me, O God, and Lead Me Home Today, we complete our trek through Psalm one hundred thirty-nine, focusing on verses nineteen through twenty-four from the New Living Translation. This final section may feel, at first, like a sudden and jarring turn. In our previous podcast, David was standing in wonder before the God who formed him in the womb, saw him before birth, recorded his days before even one of them had passed, and thought thoughts more numerous than the grains of sand. David ended that section with the beautiful confession that, when he wakes up, he is still with God. Now, however, David moves from wonder to warfare, from worship to moral anguish, from being known by God to asking God to examine him. This is not a contradiction. It is the natural movement of a heart that truly loves the Lord. When we recognize that God knows us completely, forms us intentionally, and surrounds us continually, we also become more aware of what opposes his holiness, his justice, and his covenant love. Psalm one hundred thirty-nine, verse nineteen, begins with David crying out for God to deal with the wicked. He asks God to destroy those who are violent and evil, and then he separates himself from them, saying, in effect, “Get away from me, you murderers.” That is strong language. It is uncomfortable language. Yet, it is also honest language from a man who has seen what evil can do. David is not speaking as a casual observer. He has lived in a world where violence breaks families, corrupts nations, defiles worship, and destroys the innocent. As Israel's king, he knew that evil was not merely a private flaw tucked away in the heart. Evil could become public, organized, and destructive. It could infect courts, armies, cities, temples, and thrones. Wickedness was not an abstract idea to David. It had names, weapons, plans, and victims. In the ancient Israelite worldview, rebellion against God was never only earthly. Scripture presents a universe in which the Lord reigns above every power, every nation, every ruler, and every spiritual being. The divine council imagery reminds us that God is the Most High, surrounded by heavenly servants, yet unrivaled in authority. When human beings give themselves to violence, falsehood, and idolatry, they are not merely breaking social rules. They are aligning themselves with rebellion against the Creator's order. That helps us understand David's intensity. He is not simply saying, “I dislike difficult people.” He is grieving those who stand against the Lord's purposes. He is pleading for God's justice to break the power of those who shed innocent blood. In a world where the vulnerable are often crushed, where tyrants often prosper, and where evil often wears a respectable mask, David's prayer says, “Lord, do not let wickedness have the final word.” Then, in verse twenty, David says that these enemies blaspheme God, and that they misuse his name. They speak of the Lord with deceit, contempt, and rebellion. In the New Living Translation, the sense is that they take God's name in vain, using holy language for unholy purposes. This is a serious charge. In Israel, the name of the Lord was not a religious slogan. God's name represented his character, presence, covenant, authority, and reputation among the nations. To misuse God's name was to treat the Holy One as common. It was to drag sacred truth into the service of selfish ambition, violence, manipulation, or false worship. We still see this today. People may use God-language to justify hatred, greed, pride, abuse, or indifference. They may speak the name of the Lord, while refusing the ways of the Lord. They may claim spiritual authority, while crushing others. They may use faith as a costume, while their actions reveal another allegiance. David's concern in verse twenty is not merely bad manners. It is spiritual treason. It is the corruption of worship itself. Then, in verses twenty-one and twenty-two, David asks, “Shouldn't I hate those who hate you, Lord? Shouldn't I despise those who oppose you?” He says he hates them with complete hatred, and counts them as his enemies. Again, these are difficult words, and we must handle them carefully. David is speaking in the language of covenant loyalty. He is declaring that he will not make peace with rebellion against God. He will not celebrate evil. He will not pretend that violence is harmless. He will not treat blasphemy as wisdom. He will not stand in neutral territory when the honor of the Lord is under attack. Yet, as followers of Christ, we must read David's words through the fullness of Scripture. Jesus taught us to love our enemies, pray for those who persecute us, and bless those who curse us. He did not weaken God's hatred of evil; he revealed God's mission to redeem sinners. At the cross, we see both truths held together. God takes evil with absolute seriousness, and God offers mercy with astonishing grace. So, how do we apply David's prayer today? We do not use it as permission for personal bitterness, revenge, cruelty, or contempt. Instead, we let it teach us to hate evil without becoming hateful people. We reject wickedness without forgetting that we, too, need mercy. We stand against injustice, violence, deception, abuse, and blasphemy, while still praying that enemies may become brothers and sisters through repentance and grace. That is why the final two verses are so important. David does not end by saying, “God, examine them.” He says, “God, examine me.” Psalm one hundred thirty-nine, verses twenty-three and twenty-four, bring us to one of the most well-known prayers in all the Psalms. David asks God to search him and know his heart, to test him and know his anxious thoughts. He asks God to point out anything in him that offends the Lord, and then lead him along the path of everlasting life. This is the great turn of the psalm. David has spoken about the wicked. He has condemned violence. He has grieved blasphemy. He has declared loyalty to God. But before he walks away satisfied with his own righteousness, he opens his own soul to divine examination. That is wisdom. That is humility. That is spiritual maturity. It is easy to see the sins of others. It is much harder to invite God to expose the sins within us. It is easy to criticize the violence “out there,” while ignoring anger in our own hearts. It is easy to condemn deceit “out there,” while excusing half-truths in our own speech. It is easy to grieve arrogance “out there,” while protecting pride in our own spirit. David refuses that kind of self-deception. Remember how this psalm began. In Psalm one hundred thirty-nine, verse one, David said that the Lord had examined his heart and knew everything about him. Now, at the end, David asks God to do what God already does. “Search me.” Why ask God to search what he already knows? Because David is not asking for God's information. He is asking for God's transformation. That is a vital distinction. God already knows every hidden corner of our hearts. He knows our motives, fears, memories, wounds, desires, and anxieties. But prayer is the act of inviting God's knowledge to become our healing. We are saying, “Lord, bring into the light what I would rather keep in the shadows. Show me what I cannot see clearly. Reveal what is twisted, anxious, selfish, proud, fearful, or false. Then lead me.” The word “anxious” is important. David does not ask God only to identify obvious sins. He asks God to know his anxious thoughts. Anxiety can drive us into control, suspicion, anger, avoidance, envy, and despair. Fear can distort our view of God, ourselves, and others. When David invites God into his anxious thoughts, he is opening not only his behavior, but his inner life. Then comes the final request: “Point out anything in me that offends you, and lead me along the path of everlasting life.” David knows that exposure without guidance would crush us. Conviction without mercy would leave us hopeless. But God does not search us merely to shame us. He searches us to lead us. The Great Shepherd reveals the dangerous path so he can guide us onto the everlasting one. In the ancient covenant world, there were two paths: the path of life and the path of death; the way of wisdom and the way of folly; loyalty to the Lord and rebellion against him. David asks to be led in the ancient, enduring, everlasting way—the way aligned with God's character, God's kingdom, and God's future. For us, this path is fully revealed in Jesus Christ. He is the way, the truth, and the life. He is the righteous King greater than David. He is the One who confronts evil, forgives sinners,...

Global Reverberations of Palestinian Historical Trauma: A SAND Community Gathering with Dr. Samah Jabr, Dr. Gabor Maté & Dr. Jennifer Mullan, facilitated by Dr. Jess Ghannam Join us for a conversation marking the book launch of Radiance and Pain in Resilience, a powerful collection of essays by Palestinian psychiatrist, psychotherapist, and internationally respected mental health advocate Dr. Samah Jabr. We are gathering in the midst of genocide. The massive, deliberate traumatization of an entire people, cheered, funded, and shielded from accountability by Western governments, is unfolding in real time. As Israel's assault on Gaza continues to annihilate bodies, families, and entire lineages, this conversation refuses to look away. It asks what it is to tend to the psyche under conditions of systematic destruction. Drawing on decades of clinical practice, political analysis, and lived experience under occupation, Dr. Jabr examines the psychological consequences of colonization, displacement, and historical trauma on the Palestinian people. Through personal reflections, case studies, and cultural critique, she challenges dominant Western paradigms of mental health and offers a decolonial, psycho-spiritual framework rooted in dignity, collective care, resistance, and truth. Proceeds from this conversation go directly to Project Hope Palestine, supporting 500 orphaned children living at Al-Baraka orphan camp in Gaza. Guests Dr. Samah Jabr is a psychiatrist practicing in Palestine, serving communities in East Jerusalem and the West Bank. She was formerly Head of the Mental Health Unit within the Palestinian Ministry of Health and is an Associate Clinical Professor of Psychiatry and Behavioral Sciences at George Washington University. She is the author of several books including Behind the Frontlines, Sumud, Sumud in Times of Genocide, and most recently Radiance in Pain and Resilience: The Global Reverberations of Palestinian Historical Trauma. Dr. Gabor Maté is a physician, trauma expert, and bestselling author of The Myth of Normal, In the Realm of Hungry Ghosts, and When the Body Says No. Dr. Jennifer Mullan is a clinical psychologist and the author of the national bestseller Decolonizing Therapy: Oppression, Historical Trauma, and Politicizing Your Practice.

Exodus 17 reminds us that God's people never outgrow their need for Him. As Israel battles Amalek, victory is tied not merely to Joshua's courage in the valley but to Moses' uplifted hands on the mountain. The passage exposes our instinct toward self-reliance and shows that true strength is found in dependence on God and in the support of His people. Ultimately, it points to Jesus, the true and better Moses, who continually intercedes for us and has declared war on sin, Satan, and death. Join us as we discover why dependence is not weakness but the pathway to lasting victory.

We explore the intriguing story of Balaam and his talking donkey, a preview into what God will do with this pagan prophet. As Israel completes its journey to the plains of Moab, King Balak of Moab seeks to curse the Israelites through the pagan prophet Balaam. Despite initially refusing, Balaam sets out for Moab, only to be confronted by an angel of the Lord, unseen by him but visible to his donkey. After the donkey speaks, Balaam's eyes are opened to the divine presence, and he is instructed to only speak God's words. Support the showRead along with us in the Bible Brief App!

Reserve your spot for the premiere of War of Redemption: https://thelandofisrael.com/war-of-redemption/ This week on the Land of Israel Guys podcast, Ari and Jeremy along with The Israel Guys, take a deeper look at why Judea and Samaria remain at the center of Israel's modern story, much as they were in the days of King David. As farms continue to spread across the biblical heartland at a historic pace, they discuss how agriculture has become one of the most important frontiers in securing and developing the land of Israel. Against the backdrop of a rapidly growing Jerusalem, the conversation explores some of the most significant issues facing the nation today: the imprisonment of an IDF soldier, the expansion of Israel's farm movement, cultural and spiritual challenges within Israeli society, and the prophetic vision of redemption that continues to inspire millions around the world. The episode also features the announcement of a new documentary, War of Redemption, which tells the story of the men and women living on the front lines of Israel's biblical heartland. As Israel's defense industry reaches record-breaking levels, Ari and Jeremy reflect on the prophetic promise of a future in which swords are turned into plowshares and the Torah goes forth from Zion. Subscribe for weekly conversations from Jerusalem, Judea, and Samaria, featuring current events, biblical insights, and on-the-ground perspectives from the Land of Israel.

On Wednesday's Mark Levin Show, the House is trying to use the unconstitutional War Powers Act to end the war against Iran. The Democrats and 4 Republicans voted for it, so it passed in the House. It might pass in the Senate. But it does not matter. President Trump would veto it, and Congress does not have 2/3rds majority to override the veto. The Democrats know this, as do the rogue Republicans who join them. It's performative. Also, why do Israeli leaders face public berating and pressure from the U.S., while Arab kings, dictators, Crown Prince's, and Iran's regime are never criticized. This occurs because Israel is a democracy reliant on U.S. support, allowing efforts to undermine its government and encourage rivals, amplified by Israel's left-wing media. As Israel's elected leader of a war-weary democracy, Benjamin Netanyahu should not yield to Iran to preserve talks. The U.S. needs to finish the Iranian regime and arming its people seeking liberation. We don't want to see a "Bridge over the River Kwai" syndrome where attachment to a deal causes loss of the core mission. Later, coming off his primary win for Governor of California, Steve Hilton calls in to discuss his race to the general election in November. There is a majority who want change in California.  Afterward, the Democrat Party serves as the vessel for Islamists and Marxists to seize control of the U.S. government, as these groups avoid Republican primaries and instead target dark blue districts where primary wins guarantee victory. Low American voter turnout combined with ruthless Muslim bloc voting has enabled conquest. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices

God's promises are easy to celebrate when we see them fulfilled, but they are often hardest to trust while we're waiting for them. In Joshua 11, Pastor Jon reminds us that God always does what He says He will do. As Israel finally steps into the Promised Land after generations of waiting, we see that God's faithfulness gives us confidence to follow His plan, purpose to participate in His work, and peace as we trust His timing. Because God keeps His promises, we can take our next step in obedience knowing that He has already gone before us.

As Israel's genocide in Gaza continues and Lebanon faces ongoing aggression and political pressure to capitulate, many people are grappling with fear, exhaustion, and despair.But what if hopelessness itself is part of the strategy?Psychoanalyst and author Lara Sheehi joins Dispatches with Rania Khalek to discuss the psychological dimensions of fascism, empire, colonial violence, and resistance — from Israeli psychological warfare and sexual humiliation as a tool of domination, to the weaponization of sectarianism in Lebanon, the role of media propaganda, and why revolutionary optimism is itself a political act.Sheehi also discusses her new book, From the Clinic to the Streets: Psychoanalysis for Revolutionary Futures, and explains why the work of Frantz Fanon is more urgent than ever.Topics include:Psychic militancy and psychological warfareHow fascism reshapes society psychologicallyIsraeli violence, humiliation & dominationLebanon, sectarianism & capitulation politicsWhy empire depends on despairThe limits of liberalismThe politics of the wellness industryMedia propaganda and psychological controlRevolutionary optimism and resistance

As Israel's genocide in Gaza continues despite the so-called ceasefire agreement, the psychological toll on Palestinians remains far less visible than the physical destruction. In this episode of This is Palestine, Samah Jabr examines the mental health impact of genocide, siege, starvation, displacement, and ongoing Israeli violence through the lens of what she calls “colonial trauma.” We discuss grief and despair beyond conventional psychiatric language, the long-term impact of violence on future generations, and the limits of providing mental health care under occupation and mass violence.

As Israel is fighting enemies on multiple fronts, it can't afford to lose any of its vital strategic assets. And according to Dr. Avishay Ben Sasson-Gordis, a researcher at Tel Aviv's Institute for National Security Studies, it is in danger of losing one of those assets: the support of American Jews. "The loss of the special relationship between Israel and the US will force Israel to reconsider its security priorities and matter greatly to the security and foreign policy of the State of Israel," Sasson-Gordis told the Haaretz Podcast. "Within that, the Jewish community over the decades has been a major pillar of that support." A new report co-authored by Sasson-Gordis details the data behind the deterioration of support and explains the reasons for the dramatic drop – even as the Trump White House is offering "unprecedented levels of support" for Israel. The report is intended as a wake-up call for Israeli leaders and offers a list of policy recommendations designed to stave off the deterioration. Polls show that among the U.S. public at large, "Israel is in the red in terms of net public support in every audience except older Republicans – even traditional groups that the current government and previous Israeli governments have seen as stalwart supporters of Israel." The Jewish community faces a "generational cliff," he said, as American Jews, particularly young Jews, are deeply influenced by the multi-front wars waged by Israel. "If you're today a young American Jew who is not very strongly affiliated with Israel to begin with, then the experiences that you've had – either on campus or where you work or on social media – cause you to wonder whether supporting Israel is worth it for you socially and morally." But even older members of the U.S. Jewish establishment, including institutional leaders, he said, "feel like Israel is not listening to them and is not interested in their opinions, even as they are increasingly affected by Israeli actions on the ground."

Egypt has opposed the State of Israel since its rebirth in 1948. Yet time and time again, Israel has been able to push back against the Egyptian army. In the late 1970s, Israel agreed to return the Sinai to Egypt in exchange for peace. Currently, it appears that this agreement may be coming to an end. Egypt has positioned 40,000 troops in the Sinai, which is a direct violation of the peace agreement.  As Israel continues to fight Iran and its proxies, Egypt is weighing its options. Egypt knows its military is over twice the size of Israel's military. And with most of Israel's airforce often flying over the skies of Iran hours from home, Egypt's odds have never looked better.  Could this be the time that Egypt finally makes another move to attack Israel?
