In this special episode, we turn our attention north of Palestine/Israel and reflect on what's happening in Lebanon. Here Daniel Bannoura has a conversation with Marwan Aboul-Zelof, the pastor of City Bible Church in Beirut, Lebanon.

Marwan also shares about the current situation in Lebanon and how he has been trying to lead his congregation through this ongoing war. And for our Patreon supporters, Marwan shares with us some of his thoughts about American exceptionalism and the complicity of the American church with what's currently happening in Gaza and Lebanon. To access this extended conversation and others, consider supporting us on Patreon. Marwan Aboul-Zelof is the planting pastor of City Bible Church, an English-speaking church in Beirut, Lebanon.

This week, we were joined by the pastor of City Bible Church of Beirut, Marwan Aboul-Zelof. He gives us an on-the-ground perspective of what's happening in Beirut right now (recorded Friday Sept. 27, before the Israeli invasion or the Iranian strikes on Israel). Pastor Aboul-Zelof has been living in Lebanon for eight years, and his church was the closest church to the Beirut port explosion. He offers witness to the immense suffering the Lebanese people have experienced over many years, especially over the past few weeks. And he shares with us the opportunity we have as Americans to participate in the work of justice and peace.We know the situation on the ground is changing in real time. We will have further conversations with other experts on the issue to come. --Leave a rating and review on Apple Podcasts or SpotifyIf you're enjoying the podcast, become a monthly donor to Telos!Subscribe to the Telos NewsletterRead and share the Principles and Practices of PeacemakingFollow Marwan Aboul-Zelof on Twitter and Instagram
On this bonus episode of All Things we are taking time to listen to the experience of our Palestinian brother in Christ, Pastor Marwan Aboul-Zelof. He shares openly with us what it's like to be a Palestinian Christian in the Middle East at this time in history. Pastor Aboul-Zelof was born in the Middle East and has family roots throughout the region. Due to war in his birth country, his family moved to the US when he was a child. While in university, Marwan's desire grew to return to the Middle East for the sake of the gospel. He served as a pastoral intern and church planting resident with Redeemer Church of Dubai and moved to Beirut, Lebanon in 2016 to plant City Bible Church. Marwan is married to Marci and they have two young boys. He loves to spend time with his family, is a self-proclaimed foodie and coffee connoisseur, and loves walking around and exploring Beirut.

Christian voices from the Middle East are largely ignored in a time when they should be promoted. It's sad and frustrating, and yet not new or surprising. So, who is a trusted voice amongst Evangelicals? Who can speak to these important issues without having a bias that may hinder their perspective? Elisabeth Elliot. Pastor Marwan Aboul-Zelof reads Elisabeth Elliot's Christianity Today article, published in 1978. Palestinian-Lebanese-American, Aboul-Zelof is the planting pastor of City Bible Church in Beirut, Lebanon. Article: Furnace of the Lord: In Support of the Arabs, Elisabeth Elliot, October 6, 1978.
On today's episode I am joined by Pastor Marwan Aboul-Zelof, the lead pastor at City Bible Church in Beirut, Lebanon. Marwan holds passports to both the US and Lebanon, but he chooses to live in the Middle East with his wife and two young sons, to share the hope of the gospel in a difficult place, which many choose to flee.Marwan and I discuss what life in Beirut is like amidst government corruption, a failing currency, a population with 80% of people living below the poverty line, and shortages of food, medicine, and electricity. No doubt you recall the explosion of the grain silos in the Port of Beirut in 2022 and the more recent attempts by Lebanese citizens to forcibly remove their money from the country's failing banks at gun point. While Marwan is honest about the complicated living conditions there, he communicates tremendous hope, firmly rooted in the goodness and faithfulness of our God. He says, “We wouldn't be here if it weren't for the hope of Jesus.” Don't miss the encouragement in this episode. Take time to learn what life is like for Lebanese citizens, and take time to be reminded of hope that never fails and security that is always sure. There is so much we can learn from our faithful brothers and sisters in Christ in Beirut. Keep in touch with Marwan Aboul-Zelof and City Bible Church in Beirut at https://www.cbcbeirut.com.
This was the battle ground for the reformation. Salvation is by Grace alone on the basis of Christ alone received through faith alone so that all things lead ultimately to the Glory of God alone with scripture alone as the only final authority teaching these truths. Today, I invite you to the same battle field, I invite you to the table so you and I may gaze upon scripture, to which the reformers sought to point us to, to which Paul insisted, ‘let Him be accursed He who preaches a contrary message' to which Timothy was commanded to study and preach and to which we are all commended to look upon, that very word which has eternal life, that we may gaze upon it and see. ‘How are we saved? How was our salvation procured? What became of us?

This month, we have witnessed yet another armed conflict in the Holy Land. In addition to the fighting between Israel and Hamas, Palestinians across the Holy Land took to the street to protest. The ferocity of the Palestinian anger caught Israel and the world by surprise. Is Palestinian anger at Israel righteous? Where does the injustice in the Holy Land lie? How can the Palestinian Christian response to Israel's injustice be a demonstration of love? How do Palestinian Christians make the connection between being Evangelical and their national identity? What is a Palestinian Evangelical message to Hamas? And how can we pray for Palestinian brothers and sisters? Didomi podcast co-host Wissam al-Saliby asked these questions to three Palestinian Evangelicals. Marwan Aboul-Zelof is an American of Palestinian origin and planting pastor of City Bible Church in Beirut, Lebanon. Daniel Bannoura is a Palestinian from the West Bank, currently pursuing a PhD in Qur'anic Studies at the University of Notre Dame, Indiana, in the United States. And Rawan Sabbah Munayyer is a Palestinian holding Israeli citizenship living in Jerusalem, currently pursuing a PhD at Hebrew University of Jerusalem in Multicultural Education and Social Psychology.

Hope is essential to our faith, we take a look at the life of Jeremiah and his perspective after he lost everything. "But there’s one other thing I remember, and remembering, I keep a grip on hope: God’s loyal love couldn’t have run out. his merciful love couldn’t have dried up. They’re created new every morning. How great your faithfulness! I’m sticking with God (I say it over and over). He’s all I’ve got left."
