In this episode of "Inside the Epicenter," Joel and Lynne Rosenberg address a growing trend of young evangelicals turning against Israel. Speaking at the Calvary Chapel East Coast Pastors Conference, Joel identifies seven major reasons for this shift, citing a lack of biblical teaching about Israel at home, in churches, and in Christian schools. He stresses the responsibility of parents and churches to educate the next generation and highlights the role of misinformation from secular and social media. Joel also discusses the recent October 7 Hamas attack as a spiritual “shaking” of Israel, not God’s judgment, and urges listeners to adopt a compassionate, biblically balanced approach—loving both Israelis and Palestinians as Jesus commands. The Joshua Fund’s ministry is presented as a model for serving and educating the church regarding God’s purposes for the Middle East.

Blockchains operate as a public ledger, ‘disclosing' the entire transaction history and associated data to everyone. While verifiability and traceability are key traits, as blockchains gain global adoption, those very features hinder the process. Self custody, on-chain identities, corporate strategies, transaction history, private deals, all represent highly sensitive information that call for provable confidentiality. Fully homomorphic encryption has long been considered the ‘holy grail' of cryptography as it enables computation to be performed on encrypted data without the need of prior decryption. This basically translates to true end-to-end encryption, both on-chain and off-chain. As cryptographic research advances, so does the scalability and applicability of FHE. As a result of more than 5 years of work, Zama has now released Zama Protocol, which enables confidential smart contracts on top of any L1 or L2 using FHE, without any additional execution burden. By encrypting all ciphertexts with the same public key, FHE ensures composability and seamless integration across different blockchains and applications, making it a true cross-chain confidentiality layer. Through parallel execution, Zama Protocol already surpasses Ethereum's throughput, yet future roadmap includes open-source development of FPGA & ASIC in order to scale it even further, to accommodate faster, non-EVM chains.Topics covered in this episode:Zama's progress in FHEZama's confidential blockchain ProtocolSecurity guarantees of MPC coprocessorsMaintaining a healthy operator setSlashing and governanceZama's throughputOpen-sourcing FPGA & ASIC developmentThe Zama token & its implicationsZama's public testnetPrivate votingZama fundingRegulationsExpanding use cases beyond blockchainsFuture goals and expectationsEpisode links:Rand Hindi on XZama on XSponsors:Gnosis: Gnosis builds decentralized infrastructure for the Ethereum ecosystem, since 2015.

Park talks with Michael Dermer, CEO of The Lonely Entrepreneur, who highlights their comprehensive platform offering on-demand learning modules, tools, and coaching for entrepreneurs, with a particular focus on supporting musicians through the Music Entrepreneur Initiative.

Michael introduces the Music Entrepreneur Initiative, aimed at empowering artists with free access to the learning community, with a goal of assisting 100,000 artists nationally and 4,000 in Tennessee. The initiative relies on donations to support artists for a year, with each $250 contribution funding one artist.Michael discusses the unique challenges and opportunities for musicians and artists in the modern entertainment industry. He emphasizes the importance of understanding both artistic and entrepreneurial skills, highlighting that while artists need to master specific music-related topics like rights organizations and licensing, they also require basic business knowledge to succeed. Michael explains that their platform offers 2,500 learning modules, including 250 specifically focused on music, covering everything from basic concepts to complex issues like digital streaming and international monetization. He stresses the need for artists to leverage technology and rights platforms for broader audience reach, while also acknowledging that some artists may struggle with digital basics like email and social media.Michael explains how their nonprofit foundation and platform supports musicians through donations, with $250 funding an artist's access for a year. He details that donors can specify which artists they want to support, and the foundation works with songwriter associations and local colleges to provide access to the platform. Michael also mentions that scholarships are available for support staff and technicians working with musicians.Michael highlights the positive feedback from the funding community and entrepreneurs and artists in Nashville and Memphis, noting that their free, non-commercial approach builds trust and enables entrepreneurs to receive much-needed guidance. He emphasizes the organization's focus on supporting small businesses and artists, many of whom earn less than $1,000 monthly, and encouraged listeners to donate through tlefoundation.org/MEI to help support more entrepreneurs.Visit https://tlefoundation.org/music-entre... to learn more about The Lonely Entrepreneur and the Music Entrepreneur Initiative.

Universal Market Access (UMA) was founded by 2 ex Goldman Sachs traders that wanted to make global markets universally accessible through financial smart contracts that used synthetic assets on Ethereum. However, this was taking place long before the massive boom of DeFi summer of 2020. As a result, UMA shifted to building an optimistic oracle to power prediction markets as a decentralised ‘truth machine', thus expanding oracle use cases. Through game theoretic models, UMA managed to properly incentivise its token holders to act as voters, rewarding them for good predictions & disputes, and vice versa. Later on, Hart Lambur also co-founded Across, an intent-based optimistic bridge that set out to create a seamless UX for unifying EVM chains. Through their solver network, Across managed to achieve fast (as low as 2 seconds) and cheap bridging, abstracting away crosschain complexities, without any security tradeoffs.Topics covered in this episode:Hart's backgroundUniversal Market Access, from synthetic assets to oraclesBuilding AcrossUMA's optimistic oracleIncentivizing voters & resolving disputesDealing with invalid outcomesOptimistic security assumptionsUMA x Across dual token interactionsAcross' intent-based bridgePricing mechanism & solver competitionZK settlementBridging fragmentationAbstracting & unifying cross-chain bridgingBridging between rollupsUMA & Across governance systemsEpisode links:Hart Lambur on XAcross Protocol on XUMA Protocol on XSponsors:Gnosis: Gnosis builds decentralized infrastructure for the Ethereum ecosystem, since 2015.

Welcome to Inside the Epicenter with Joel and Lynn Rosenberg, brought to you by the Joshua Fund. In this episode, we travel to the Calvary Chapel East Coast Pastors Conference in Philadelphia, where Joel addresses a crucial issue: why are so many young evangelicals turning against Israel? Drawing on decades of experience, Joel outlines seven key reasons behind this shift, ranging from gaps in biblical teaching and the impact of secular culture to a lack of compassion for Palestinians within the church. He shares how recent events, including the October 7th attacks, have transformed the region and highlights the Joshua Fund’s mission to bring practical aid and the love of Jesus to both Israelis and their neighbors.

Welcome to Inside the Epicenter. In this episode, host Joel Rosenberg sits down with Dr. Hormoz Shariat, the founder of Iran Alive Ministries—a man often called the “Billy Graham of Iran.” Together, they unpack the aftermath of the “12 Day War” between Israel and Iran, examining the impact on the Iranian regime, the hopes and fears of the Iranian people, and how recent conflict fuels a spiritual awakening across the country. The conversation examines how Iranians perceive their leadership during a crisis, their unusual attitudes toward Israel and the United States, and the role of the church in a nation yearning for change.

I will say to the Lord, “My refuge and my fortress,My God, in whom I trust!” For it is He who delivers you from the snare of the trapperAnd from the deadly pestilence. He will cover you with His pinions, and under His wings you may seek refuge; His faithfulness is a shield and bulwark. You will not be afraid of the terror by night, or of the arrow that flies by day; Pray for peace, pray for total victory over the Iranian regime, and pray for protection from these missile and drone attacks from Iran, and that Israel could defeat and destroy all of those missiles and drones so we don't have to shoot them out of the sky.
