Podcasts about Judea

French President Emmanuel Macron made an extraordinary claim at the United Nations: Hamas has “never been active in the West Bank”, Judea and Samaria.That claim is a total lie, contradicted by Hamas's documented history of terrorist networks and attacks in Judea and Samaria. But Macron's statement is only the beginning of this story.In this video, Avi Abelow examines the much bigger historical and ideological questions surrounding the Palestinian national movement, the PLO, Yasser Arafat and the Soviet Union.Former Romanian intelligence chief and Soviet-bloc defector Ion Mihai Pacepa made explosive claims about the KGB's role in creating and supporting the PLO, shaping its international image and grooming Arafat as its leader. Pacepa even claimed Soviet intelligence helped reconstruct Arafat's biography and transform the Palestinian cause into a Soviet-style “national liberation” struggle. And that raises a question Western leaders rarely confront:How much did Soviet political warfare contribute to the international narrative surrounding Israel and the Palestinians?The video also examines the Palestinian Authority, its education system, payments connected to imprisoned and deceased Palestinians involved in attacks, and the continuing ideological struggle over Israel's legitimacy.Macron's statement about Hamas deserves scrutiny. But focusing exclusively on Hamas risks missing the much larger debate over the history, ideology and objectives of the Palestinian national movement itself.Watch. Think.

What if living on mission has less to do with going somewhere extraordinary and more to do with making Jesus known everywhere God has already placed you?In Acts 1:8, Jesus tells His disciples that they will be His witnesses in Jerusalem, Judea, Samaria, and to the ends of the earth. In the last episode, we stopped at Jerusalem: before we worry about reaching the world, we need to own the mission field under our own roof.But Jesus doesn't stop at Jerusalem. The mission expands.In this episode of The Playbook, we're moving beyond the front door and asking what “Judea” might look like in everyday discipleship.Because mission isn't an extracurricular activity we add onto discipleship. Mission is part of what discipleship produces.A missional life isn't primarily about going somewhere extraordinary. It's about making Jesus known everywhere God has already placed you.Faithfulness starts where your feet are.Scripture: Acts 1:8; 1 Timothy 4:12; Matthew 25:31–46#Discipleship #ChristianLeadership #ChristianLiving #ChurchLeadership #YouthMinistry #ThePlaybook

What happens when the United Nations sends an official warning letter directly to The Israel Guys? And why is Israel's presence in Judea and Samaria at the center of the controversy? Ari Abramowitz and Jeremy Gimpel, along with Luke Hilton and Josh Waller, sit down for a wide-ranging discussion about the latest developments surrounding Israel, the United Nations, and the growing international pressure surrounding Judea and Samaria. They discuss the official letter The Israel Guys received from the UN Human Rights Office regarding its database of businesses and organizations connected to Israeli settlements, the UN General Assembly and world leaders' statements about Israel, recent terrorism and anti-Israel narratives, and what all of this means for those standing with Israel from the heart of Judea. In this episode: -The official UN letter sent to The Israel Guys -The UN database concerning businesses connected to Israeli settlements -Why Judea and Samaria are at the center of international pressure -The latest UN General Assembly discussions surrounding Israel -Netanyahu, world leaders, and the competing narratives at the UN -The ongoing debate over “settler violence” and terrorism -The biblical and historical significance of Judea and Samaria -Israel, the Golan Heights, and the changing international conversation -Why The Israel Guys are continuing to speak about Israel from the land itself -The future of The Israel Guys and their new studio in Judea The battle over Israel is not taking place only on the ground. It is also being fought through international institutions, media narratives, and the stories the world chooses to believe. From the hills of Judea, The Israel Guys continue to document what is happening, challenge anti-Israel narratives, and connect people around the world with the land and people of Israel.

In this message, we see the church officially take on the next phase of its mission. In Acts 1:8, Jesus commanded His disciples to go beyond Jerusalem--to Judea, Samaria, and to the ends of the earth. From this point forward until Kingdom come, the Church would be in "the ends of the earth" phase. Acts 8:26 marks the beginning of this most important chapter of Church history. Listen as we discuss Philip's faithfulness and obedience when God called him to go in the most unlikely direction, into a scenario that most would've excused themselves from. We learn how this experience foreshadowed many to come, and discuss how we can make the most of every similar opportunity. Also, we see how the Gospel brought the exact message that a certain individual was desperate to hear. When a hungry world encounters a faithful church, the Gospel truly knows no bounds. To the uttermost parts of the earth, Jesus can save to the uttermost.

The Gospel Produces Great Joy! Acts 8:1-8 NKJV 1 Now Saul was consenting to his death. At that time a great persecution arose against the church which was at Jerusalem; and they were all scattered throughout the regions of Judea and Samaria, except the apostles. 2 And devout men carried Stephen to his burial, and made great lamentation over him. 3 As for Saul, he made havoc of the church, entering every house, and dragging off men and women, committing them to prison. 4 Therefore those who were scattered went everywhere preaching the word. 5 Then Philip went down to the city of Samaria and preached Christ to them. 6 And the multitudes with one accord heeded the things spoken by Philip, hearing and seeing the miracles which he did. 7 For unclean spirits, crying with a loud voice, came out of many who were possessed; and many who were paralyzed and lame were healed. 8 And there was great joy in that city. *Highlighted scripture read by the congregation. 1. Great Persecution Acts 26:10-11 ESV “when they were put to death I cast my vote against them. And I punished them often in all the synagogues and tried to make them blaspheme, and in raging fury against them I persecuted them even to foreign cities.” Acts 1:8 “But you will receive power when the Holy Spirit has come upon you, and you will be my witnesses in Jerusalem and in all Judea and Samaria, and to the end of the earth. Acts 8:1 “A great persecution arose against the church which was at Jerusalem; and they were all scattered throughout the regions of Judea and Samaria.” Why Are You waiting To Do What God Has Called You To Do? 2. Scattered People Preaching Spurgeon: In every church where there is really the power of the Spirit of God, the Lord will cause it to be spread abroad more or less. He never means that a church should be like a nut shut up in a shell; nor like ointment enclosed in a box. The precious perfume of the gospel must be poured forth to sweeten the air. Preach Christ! “For I determined not to know anything among you except Jesus Christ and Him crucified” (1 Cor. 2:2). Preaching Christ Causes Results! 1 Peter 5:6 says, “Therefore humble yourselves under the mighty hand of God, that He may exalt you in due time.”

How much can we really know about the historical Jesus? The Gospels of Matthew, Mark, Luke and John have shaped Christianity for nearly 2,000 years, but they were written decades after the events they describe. So how should we treat them as historical sources?Tristan Hughes is joined by Professor Helen Bond to examine where the Gospels came from, who wrote them and how closely they reflect the world of first-century Judea. Were they based on eyewitness testimony and earlier traditions? And what do their stories reveal about the life of Jesus of Nazareth?MOREThe PhariseesListen on AppleListen on SpotifyRise of ChristianityListen on AppleListen on SpotifyPresented by Tristan Hughes.

Prime Minister Netanyahu's UN speech wasn't just aimed at the diplomats sitting in the room...Mark Regev and Ruthie Blum argue some of its most important messages were meant for President Trump, Iran and Israelis watching back home. In this special episode of "Israel Undiplomatic", the hosts break down Netanyahu's arguments about Judea and Samaria, Gaza and the history behind Israel's territorial disputes, before examining what those arguments could mean for Israeli policy going forward. They also unpack Netanyahu's praise for Trump over the war with Iran and the theatrical Starlink stunt aimed directly at the Iranian delegation, before tackling his response to accusations of genocide in Gaza. Finally, they explain why Netanyahu's call for Jews around the world to “raise your head high” may have been one of the most consequential messages of the entire speech.

Jerusalem is often called “the Mother Church” because the earliest community of Jesus' followers emerged there. According to Acts, after the resurrection of Jesus, the apostles remained in Jerusalem, where the Holy Spirit was received at Pentecost and the first organized community of believers took shape (Acts 1–2). This community remained deeply rooted in its Jewish setting: believers prayed, gathered together, remembered the teaching of Jesus, and continued to participate in the life of the Temple (Acts 2:42–47; 3:1). Jerusalem also became the place where major questions facing the expanding movement were addressed, most notably at the Jerusalem Council around AD 49 (Acts 15). Early leadership was associated first with Peter and the apostles and increasingly with James the Just, the brother of Jesus, who became a central figure in the Jerusalem church. From this mother community the message concerning Jesus spread outward—to Judea, Samaria, Antioch, and eventually throughout the Roman and Eastern worlds—making Jerusalem the historical and spiritual starting point from which the early Church expanded.

“The Woman At The Well”John 4:1-421 Now Jesus learned that the Pharisees had heard that he was gaining and baptizing more disciples than John— 2 although in fact it was not Jesus who baptized, but his disciples. 3 So he left Judea and went back once more to Galilee.4 Now he had to go through Samaria. 5 So he came to a town in Samaria called Sychar, near the plot of ground Jacob had given to his son Joseph. 6 Jacob's well was there, and Jesus, tired as he was from the journey, sat down by the well. It was about noon.7 When a Samaritan woman came to draw water, Jesus said to her, “Will you give me a drink?” 8 (His disciples had gone into the town to buy food.)9 The Samaritan woman said to him, “You are a Jew and I am a Samaritan woman. How can you ask me for a drink?” (For Jews do not associate with Samaritans.)10 Jesus answered her, “If you knew the gift of God and who it is that asks you for a drink, you would have asked him and he would have given you living water.”11 “Sir,” the woman said, “you have nothing to draw with and the well is deep. Where can you get this living water? 12 Are you greater than our father Jacob, who gave us the well and drank from it himself, as did also his sons and his livestock?”13 Jesus answered, “Everyone who drinks this water will be thirsty again, 14 but whoever drinks the water I give them will never thirst. Indeed, the water I give them will become in them a spring of water welling up to eternal life.”15 The woman said to him, “Sir, give me this water so that I won't get thirsty and have to keep coming here to draw water.”16 He told her, “Go, call your husband and come back.”17 “I have no husband,” she replied.Jesus said to her, “You are right when you say you have no husband. 18 The fact is, you have had five husbands, and the man you now have is not your husband. What you have just said is quite true.”19 “Sir,” the woman said, “I can see that you are a prophet. 20 Our ancestors worshiped on this mountain, but you Jews claim that the place where we must worship is in Jerusalem.”21 “Woman,” Jesus replied, “believe me, a time is coming when you will worship the Father neither on this mountain nor in Jerusalem. 22 You Samaritans worship what you do not know; we worship what we do know, for salvation is from the Jews. 23 Yet a time is coming and has now come when the true worshipers will worship the Father in the Spirit and in truth, for they are the kind of worshipers the Father seeks. 24 God is spirit, and his worshipers must worship in the Spirit and in truth.”25 The woman said, “I know that Messiah” (called Christ) “is coming. When he comes, he will explain everything to us.”26 Then Jesus declared, “I, the one speaking to you—I am he.”27 Just then his disciples returned and were surprised to find him talking with a woman. But no one asked, “What do you want?” or “Why are you talking with her?”28 Then, leaving her water jar, the woman went back to the town and said to the people, 29 “Come, see a man who told me everything I ever did. Could this be the Messiah?” 30 They came out of the town and made their way toward him.31 Meanwhile his disciples urged him, “Rabbi, eat something.”32 But he said to them, “I have food to eat that you know nothing about.”33 Then his disciples said to each other, “Could someone have brought him food?”34 “My food,” said Jesus, “is to do the will of him who sent me and to finish his work. 35 Don't you have a saying, ‘It's still four months until harvest'? I tell you, open your eyes and look at the fields! They are ripe for harvest. 36 Even now the one who reaps draws a wage and harvests a crop for eternal life, so that the sower and the reaper may be glad together. 37 Thus the saying ‘One sows and another reaps' is true. 38 I sent you to reap what you have not worked for. Others have done the hard work, and you have reaped the benefits of their labor.”39 Many of the Samaritans from that town believed in him because of the woman's testimony, “He told me everything I ever did.” 40 So when the Samaritans came to him, they urged him to stay with them, and he stayed two days. 41 And because of his words many more became believers.42 They said to the woman, “We no longer believe just because of what you said; now we have heard for ourselves, and we know that this man really is the Savior of the world.”CONNECT WITH USIf you have any questions or would like to get to know us further, head over to https://www.triumphlbc.org/connect and fill out our online connection card.ABOUT TRIUMPHTriumph wants to see the life and message of Jesus transform your heart, home, and city.

If Acts has two streams (the ministries of Peter and of Paul) then it also has three waves, as Christ's gospel spreads from Jerusalem, through Judea and Samaria, to the end of the earth. Here we are in Antioch, as the church separates Barnabas and Saul to the work of gospel preaching beyond the Mediterranean. We look at the men involved, the ministry they had, the motion of the Holy Spirit, and then the mission on which they were sent.

“Take Him at His Word”John 4:43-5443 After the two days he left for Galilee. 44 (Now Jesus himself had pointed out that a prophet has no honor in his own country.) 45 When he arrived in Galilee, the Galileans welcomed him. They had seen all that he had done in Jerusalem at the Passover Festival, for they also had been there.46 Once more he visited Cana in Galilee, where he had turned the water into wine. And there was a certain royal official whose son lay sick at Capernaum. 47 When this man heard that Jesus had arrived in Galilee from Judea, he went to him and begged him to come and heal his son, who was close to death.48 “Unless you people see signs and wonders,” Jesus told him, “you will never believe.”49 The royal official said, “Sir, come down before my child dies.”50 “Go,” Jesus replied, “your son will live.”The man took Jesus at his word and departed. 51 While he was still on the way, his servants met him with the news that his boy was living. 52 When he inquired as to the time when his son got better, they said to him, “Yesterday, at one in the afternoon, the fever left him.”53 Then the father realized that this was the exact time at which Jesus had said to him, “Your son will live.” So he and his whole household believed.54 This was the second sign Jesus performed after coming from Judea to Galilee.CONNECT WITH USIf you have any questions or would like to get to know us further, head over to https://www.triumphlbc.org/connect and fill out our online connection card.ABOUT TRIUMPHTriumph wants to see the life and message of Jesus transform your heart, home, and city.

In this evening message from Acts 11:19-30, Pastor Rockhill presses a single searching question upon the congregation: what does it mean to be a Christian? Drawing from the account of the scattered believers who carried the gospel to Antioch, he shows that the name first given to the disciples there marks not merely a label but a life visibly conformed to Christ. Pastor Rockhill traces four marks of true Christianity from the passage. Believers were diligent in sharing the gospel with all who were in need, breaking through old prejudices to reach Jew and Gentile alike. In Barnabas, the encourager, he sets before the flock the calling of every saint to build up and strengthen one another, and he notes the early seeds of Presbyterial oversight in the church's care to see all things done decently and in order. In the year-long teaching ministry of Barnabas and Saul, he reminds hearers that every Christian is called to be a disciple and learner. Finally, in the famine relief sent to Judea, Pastor Rockhill highlights the church's mercy ministry, as Gentile believers generously served their suffering brethren. He underscores the unity of Christ's one body, where the members bear one another's burdens. Applying the text to a day of rising hostility toward the faith, he urges believers not to wear Christian merely as a name but to live it out through gospel witness, encouragement, discipleship, and self-giving love, that the watching world may know them as true disciples of Jesus, to the glory of God alone.

Study session scripture: Romans 15:14-33I myself am satisfied about you, my brothers, that you yourselves are full of goodness, filled with all knowledge and able to instruct one another. But on some points I have written to you very boldly by way of reminder, because of the grace given me by God to be a minister of Christ Jesus to the Gentiles in the priestly service of the gospel of God, so that the offering of the Gentiles may be acceptable, sanctified by the Holy Spirit. In Christ Jesus, then, I have reason to be proud of my work for God. For I will not venture to speak of anything except what Christ has accomplished through me to bring the Gentiles to obedience—by word and deed, by the power of signs and wonders, by the power of the Spirit of God—so that from Jerusalem and all the way around to Illyricum I have fulfilled the ministry of the gospel of Christ; and thus I make it my ambition to preach the gospel, not where Christ has already been named, lest I build on someone else's foundation, but as it is written,“Those who have never been told of him will see, and those who have never heard will understand.”This is the reason why I have so often been hindered from coming to you. But now, since I no longer have any room for work in these regions, and since I have longed for many years to come to you, I hope to see you in passing as I go to Spain, and to be helped on my journey there by you, once I have enjoyed your company for a while. At present, however, I am going to Jerusalem bringing aid to the saints. For Macedonia and Achaia have been pleased to make some contribution for the poor among the saints at Jerusalem. For they were pleased to do it, and indeed they owe it to them. For if the Gentiles have come to share in their spiritual blessings, they ought also to be of service to them in material blessings. When therefore I have completed this and have delivered to them what has been collected, I will leave for Spain by way of you. I know that when I come to you I will come in the fullness of the blessing of Christ.I appeal to you, brothers, by our Lord Jesus Christ and by the love of the Spirit, to strive together with me in your prayers to God on my behalf, that I may be delivered from the unbelievers in Judea, and that my service for Jerusalem may be acceptable to the saints, so that by God's will I may come to you with joy and be refreshed in your company. May the God of peace be with you all. Amen.Study session topics:The extension of God's righteousness through Paul's mission Paul's contentment with the Roman Church (vv. 14-15) Despite tensions between Jew and Gentile, Paul gives the church 3 compliments Paul's boldness in writing Paul's description of his mission (vv. 15-21) Paul's calling as Apostle to the Gentiles Paul's pride in his work The Gospel as Paul's singular focus The scope, nature, and power behind Paul's work Paul's future plans (vv. 22-32) Paul's desire to visit Rome, and from there to Spain Paul's immediate plans: returning to Jerusalem Paul asks for prayer as he completes his journey Paul's second benediction (v. 33) Peace is a great blessing for the ChristianStudy session audio: S4 E36: Romans 15:14-33 Download

In this episode Josh, Luke, Ari, and Jeremy discuss the effect this will have on the organization immediately, as well as what it could mean in the near future. As world leaders gathered this week in New York City for the United Nations General Assembly, a surprising array of world leaders used their time at the podium to rake Israel over the coals, Making claims of genocide and aparthied based on the same lies and propaganda that the world currently seems to be drowning in. Watch the full episode to hear for yourself some of the bizarre and completely absurd claims that these world leaders made from one of the world's biggest stages.  Prophets of Israel Daily - https://thelandofisrael.com/prophets-of-israel/ Source Links: UN business database document, September 2025 https://www.un.org/unispal/document/business-database-26sep25/ Video of UN leaders criticizing Israel https://x.com/Ostrov_A/status/2102732418801422631?s=20 Jerusalem Post report on UN speeches https://www.jpost.com/international/article-909420 #Israel #IsraelWar #UN #BibiNetanyahu #Settlers #UNSanctions #Israelnews #HamasAttack #Boycotts #WestBank #JudeaSamaria #UN #Jihad #Christians #AntonioGuterres #Macron  

In this special conversation from Judea, Ari and Jeremy reflect on the powerful journey from Rosh Hashanah through Yom Kippur and into Sukkot. They explore what it means to move from judgment to forgiveness, from the awe of standing before the King to the intimacy of resting in the shade of our Father. The conversation weaves together personal stories from Yom Kippur, the spiritual atmosphere in Israel, the prophetic vision of Sukkot as a celebration for all nations, and the deeper meaning of the sukkah as a place of faith and trust. As Israel walks through a difficult season, Ari and Jeremy ask what it means to choose joy, trust Hashem, and believe that one day the whole world will recognize that Hashem is one and His name is one. #Sukkot #YomKippur #Israel #Judea #Torah #Hashem #Faith #JewishFaith #Sukkah #LandOfIsrael #Jerusalem #SpiritualAwakening #Prophecy #Joy #Fellowship

World leaders took aim at Israel from the UN stage, but Mark Regev and Ruthie Bloom say their arguments ignore the security reality Israel faces on the ground. In this episode of "Israel Undiplomatic", the hosts take on Emmanuel Macron's claims about Judea and Samaria, including his assertion that Hamas was not operating there and examine what they see as a growing disconnect between European rhetoric and Israel's experience with terrorism. They also dissect King Abdullah's fresh accusations against Israel, while debating a complicated question: Why should Israel tolerate harsh public criticism from Jordan when the two countries maintain vital security cooperation behind the scenes?

Something dramatic just happened in Israel—and nobody is talking about it.Israeli Defense Minister Israel Katz announced that he and Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu instructed the IDF to prepare for the possibility of “all-out war” against the Palestinian Authority if PA security forces launch—or Israel knows they are about to launch—an October 7-style attack against Israeli communities and IDF forces.Think about what that means.For 30 years, the world has demanded that Israel treat the Palestinian Authority as a “peace partner” and the foundation of a future Palestinian state.Now Israel is preparing for the possibility of fighting the PA's own armed security forces.The danger is particularly alarming because of geography. Unlike Gaza, Palestinian Authority-controlled areas in Judea and Samaria sit immediately adjacent to major Israeli population centers. Jerusalem, Kfar Saba, Petah Tikva, Rosh Ha'ayin and other Israeli cities could face a radically different threat environment if PA forces ever turned their weapons against Israel.October 7 taught Israel a devastating lesson: knowing an enemy is building military capabilities is not enough. Waiting for an attack can have catastrophic consequences.So Israel must confront a critical question:If the threat from the Palestinian Authority is serious enough to prepare for all-out war, what should Israel do about that threat before another October 7 scenario becomes possibleThirty years after the Oslo Accords, the debate over the Palestinian Authority, Israeli security and the future of Judea and Samaria may be entering a fundamentally different phase.Watch and share.Am Yisrael Chai!Join Our Whatsapp Channel: https://chat.whatsapp.com/GkavRznXy731nxxRyptCMvFollow us on Twitter: https://x.com/AviAbelowJoin our Telegram Channel: https://t.me/aviabelowpulseFollow us on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/pulse_of_israel/?hl=enPulse of Israel on Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/IsraelVideoNetworkVisit Our Website - https://pulseofisrael.com/Donate to Pulse of Israel: https://pulseofisrael.com/boost-this-video/

My heart aches.Hours before the Yom Kippur holiday, the holiest day to the Jewish people, while I was out on IDF reserve patrol in the Judean Hills, we were placed on heightened alert after a deadly shooting attack near the Jewish community of Neve Tzuf in the Binyamin region of Samaria.Then came the devastating news: Netanel Shakron הי״ד, a father of six from Alei Zahav, had been murdered.The circumstances are heartbreaking.On the eve of Yom Kippur, the holiest day of the Jewish year, Netanel went with his eldest son to a natural spring to immerse and spiritually prepare himself for the holy day.A terrorist opened fire.Netanel was murdered. His son survived.Think about that son. He went with his father to prepare for Yom Kippur—and returned home without him.Yet while Jews continue to face terrorism in Judea and Samaria, so much international attention remains focused on the politically charged narrative of “settler violence.”Jews living in Judea and Samaria are raising families, building communities, praying and living in places deeply rooted in Jewish history and the Bible. This family went to a spring before Yom Kippur. A husband and father never came home.Netanel leaves behind a wife and six children.May Hashem comfort his family among the mourners of Zion and Jerusalem. May He protect the IDF soldiers standing guard over Jewish communities throughout Israel, Judea and Samaria.Netanel Shakron הי״ד.May his memory be a blessing.Am Yisrael Chai.Join Our Whatsapp Channel: https://chat.whatsapp.com/GkavRznXy731nxxRyptCMvFollow us on Twitter: https://x.com/AviAbelowJoin our Telegram Channel: https://t.me/aviabelowpulseFollow us on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/pulse_of_israel/?hl=enPulse of Israel on Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/IsraelVideoNetworkVisit Our Website - https://pulseofisrael.com/Donate to Pulse of Israel: https://pulseofisrael.com/boost-this-video/

In this Bible Story, Jesus displays his compassionate power over sickness and death. He heals a woman who is afflicted with chronic bleeding. He takes a little girl that has passed and restores her life. Jesus did these things to show the whole world that sickness and death does not rule over him the same way it does for humanity. This story is inspired by Mark 5:21-43 & Matthew 9:18-26 & Luke 8:40-56.

He begged Jesus with tears to heal his daughter before she dies. Jesus, rich in mercy, followed the man to his house. While on the way a woman who had been in pain, bleeding for twelve years, made her way to Jesus. At the touch of His cloak, she was made well. When they finally arrived at Jarius' house, it was too late…or so they thought. Jesus had the group of mourners leave and made His way to the girl's room, and at His word brings life back into her lifeless body!Hear the Bible come to life as Pastor Jack Graham leads you through the official BibleinaYear.com podcast.

You may already see your work, business, investments, and generosity as resources God has entrusted to you, but have you considered whether the work itself could be part of your calling? What might it look like to move beyond simply giving from what you earn and begin stewarding your skills, influence, capital, and everyday work as part of God's mission in the world? MEET YOUR GUIDE: Brett Johnson, founder of the Institute for Innovation, Integration, and Impact, has spent decades helping business leaders, entrepreneurs, and organizations integrate faith, work, capital, and calling. Drawing from his experience in business, church leadership, missions, Silicon Valley, and international development, Brett challenges the assumption that ministry happens primarily through churches and nonprofits while ordinary marketplace work plays a supporting role. Brett explores what changes when Christians begin with the assumption that they are called to work right where God has placed them. He shares how business skills can strengthen missions, how companies can be repurposed around biblical principles, and why generosity can include intellectual, relational, spiritual, and financial capital. He also describes a broader vision for Kingdom business and impact investing that addresses systemic challenges in cities and nations through sustainable businesses, nonprofits, and collaborative investment. By the end, you may see your current work less as something competing with your calling and more as something God can use within it. WHAT YOU'LL GAIN: Integrating faith, work, calling, and mission Rejecting the sacred-secular divide in everyday work Recognizing your current work as God-given calling Designing disciple-making into core business processes Giving everyday skills and careers a Kingdom purpose Stewarding capital beyond traditional charitable giving HIGHLIGHTS: “Don't try to balance things. I think when Jesus says in John 5:19, ‘I only do what I see the Father doing,' we have to develop a core competence to try to understand what God is saying, to hear what God's voice is in our particular situation.” “Just assume that you're called to work. If you're a medical doctor, if you're a school teacher, if you're an engineer, why don't you just start with the assumption that you're called to be an engineer or you're called to be a school teacher?” “Assume that the place where you are working now is where you're called to be, and figure out how you can extend the Kingdom of God, make God known, and demonstrate His goodness and His characteristics right where you are.” “You have to get on, actively work where you are with what God has entrusted to you, and assume that that's a good starting place, not waiting for instructions. We're not in the reserves. We're in active duty, all of us.” “The goal wasn't to get God into the business, but to get their business into God's business.” “We don't want to just make businesses more profitable, more godly, more righteous, more generous. We actually want to make sure that they are involved in completing the job that Jesus gave us to do.” “This is the way the Kingdom of God operates. It's not Boise or Bangladesh. It's both/and.” “God is an expansionist. And if God's in your business, He wants to expand it. So you've got to figure out how.” “We should be people who are looking, praying for the peace of the city that we're in, looking out for the good of the city.” “Some of them need financial capital, but some need intellectual capital, access to markets. Some of them need spiritual capital. They just need encouragement to be part of a network of people who are going to help them.” “My default is not, ‘People aren't getting proper nutrition, so we'll do a soup kitchen.' No, let's figure out a feeding business that actually does that.” “You have to measure in the long term.” “The premise is that God is good. Everybody has capital. Work is good. Everybody should work.” PEOPLE, BOOKS, AND ORGS: Brett Johnson's Website Brett's Books and Resources Global Giants Foundation Christian Business Men's Connection YWAM BIBLE REFERENCES: Luke 2:52 | Jesus Grew in Every Dimension “And Jesus increased in wisdom and in stature and in favor with God and man.” John 5:19 | Doing What the Father Does “So Jesus said to them, ‘Truly, truly, I say to you, the Son can do nothing of his own accord, but only what he sees the Father doing.

Reverend Ross HenziToday we conclude our sermon series based on our congregation's vision with the word:  Go.  Because eventually, we have to leave the building.  Jesus never intended for the Church simply to gather together, enjoy being together, grow together - and then stay together behind four walls.  Jesus calls us to go.  Listen again, “You will be my witnesses in Jerusalem, and in all Judea and Samaria, and to the ends of the earth” (Acts 1:8).

Every September or October, the fast and holy day of Yom Kippur concludes at nightfall with a single, resounding blast of the shofar or ram’s horn. As a devout Jewish man living in first-century Judea, Jesus observed the biblical holiday known in the Torah as Yom Kippur meaning The Day of Atonement, recognized as the single holiest and most solemn day on the Jewish calendar.

San Mateo, Apóstol y Evangelista Mt 9,9-13 9,9 Al irse de allí, Jesús vio a un hombre llamado Mateo, que estaba sentado a la mesa de recaudación de impuestos, y le dijo: «Sígueme». Él se levantó y lo siguió. 9,10 Mientras Jesús estaba comiendo en la casa, acudieron muchos publicanos y pecadores, y se sentaron a comer con él y sus discípulos. 9,11 Al ver esto, los fariseos dijeron a los discípulos: «¿Por qué su Maestro come con publicanos y pecadores?». 9,12 Jesús, que había oído, respondió: «No son los sanos los que tienen necesidad del médico, sino los enfermos. 9,13 Vayan y aprendan qué significa: Yo quiero misericordia y no sacrificios. Porque yo no he venido a llamar a los justos, sino a los pecadores». Evangelio según San Mateo 9, 9-13 En aquel tiempo, Jesús vio a un hombre llamado Mateo, sentado a su mesa de recaudador de impuestos, y le dijo: «Sígueme». Él se levantó y lo siguió. Después, cuando estaba a la mesa en casa de Mateo, muchos publicanos y pecadores se sentaron también a comer con Jesús y sus discípulos. Viendo esto, los fariseos preguntaron a los discípulos: «¿Por qué su Maestro come con publicanos y pecadores?» Jesús los oyó y les dijo: «No son los sanos los que necesitan de médico, sino los enfermos. Vayan, pues, y aprendan lo que significa: Yo quiero misericordia y no sacrificios. Yo no he venido a llamar a los justos, sino a los pecadores». *** San Mateo Evangelista y Apóstol Nació en Cafarnaún, y, cuando Jesús lo llamó, ejercía el oficio de recaudador de impuestos. Escribió el evangelio en lengua aramea y, según la tradición, predicó en Oriente. San Mateo es llamado por dos Evangelistas: Levi,ambos nombres son de origen Judíos. El último lo obtuvo antes de su conversión, el otro lo tomo después, para mostrar la renuncia a su profesión y que era un hombre nuevo. Hijo de Alfeo, vivió en Cafarnaun, en el lago de Galilea. Fue por profesión un publicano, o colector de impuestos para los Romanos. Entre los Judíos, estos publicanos fueron más infames y odiosos porque esta nación los miraba como enemigos de su privilegio de libertad natural que Dios les había dado, y como personas manchadas por su conversación frecuente y asociación con los paganos, y la esclavización sobre sus compatriotas. Los Judíos los aborrecían universalmente, veían sus propiedades o dinero como fortunas de ladrones, les prohibieron su comunión y participación en su actividades religiosas, al igual que de todos eventos de la sociedad cívica y de comercio. Tertuliano esta ciertamente equivocado cuando afirma que solo los gentiles fueron empleados en este oficio sórdido como San Jerónimo demuestra en varios pasajes de los evangelios. Y es cierto que San Mateo fue Judío, aunque un publicano. Su oficio dice haber consistido particularmente en acumular costumbres de comodidades que vinieron por el Genesareth o Tiberias, y un peaje que los pasajeros pagaban al venir por agua; San Marco dice que San Mateo mantuvo su oficio de cobro de peaje al lado del lago, donde él se sentaba. Jesús, habiendo últimamente curado un paralítico famoso, salio de Cafarnaúm, y camino sobre los bancos del lago o mar de Genesareth, enseñando las personas que le seguían. Aquí el observó a Mateo que realizaba su trabajo de cobro de peaje a quien el llamo a venir y a seguirle. El hombre era rico, disfrutaba de un sueldo lucrativo, era un hombre sabio y prudente, y entendía perfectamente lo que seguir a Jesús le costaría. Pero el no tuvo miramientos y dejo todos sus intereses y relaciones para hacerse un discipular del Señor. No sabemos si el ya estaba relacionado con la persona o doctrina de nuestro Salvador, especialmente como estaba cerca de Cafarnaúm, y su casa parece haber sido en la ciudad, donde Cristo había vivido por algún tiempo, había predicado y hechos muchos milagros, por lo cual el estaba en algún medido preparando a recibir la impresión que el llamado de Jesús había hecho sobre el. San Jerónimo dice que un cierto aire de majestad brillaron en la continencia de Nuestro Divino Redentor, y traspaso su alma y lo atrajo fuertemente. Este apóstol, a la primera invitación, rompió todas ataduras; dejo sus riquezas, su familia, su preocupaciones del mundo, sus placeres, y su profesión. Su conversión fue sincera y perfecta. San Mateo nunca regreso a su oficio porque era una profesión peligrosa, y una ocasión de avaricia, opresión, y extorsión. San Mateo, al convertirse, para mostrar que no estaba descontento con su cambio, pero que lo miraba como su mas gran felicidad, entretuvo a Nuestro Señor y sus discípulos en una gran comida en su casa a donde invito sus amigos, especialmente los de su ultima profesión, como si esperaba que por medio de la divina conversación de Nuestro Salvador, ellos también quizás sean convertidos. Después de la Ascensión de Nuestro Señor, San Mateo predicó por varios años en Judea y en los países cercanos hasta la dispersión de los apóstoles. Un poco antes de la dispersión escribió su evangelio, o pequeña historia de Nuestro Bendito Redentor. Que la compilo antes de su dispersión aparece no solo porque fue escrito antes de los otros evangelios, sino también el Apóstol Bartolomé se llevo una copia con él a la India, y la dejo allí. San Mateo escribo su evangelio para satisfacer los conversos de Palestina. El Evangelio de San Mateo desciende a un detalle mas particular y completo en las acciones de Cristo que los otros tres, pero desde el Capitulo V al XIV el frecuentemente se distingue de los otros en la serie de su narrativos, ignorando el orden del tiempo, para que esas instrucciones que tienen mas afinidad una con la otra, estén relacionadas juntas. Este evangelista mas bien enfoca sobre las lecciones de moralidad de Nuestro Salvador, y describe su temporal o generación humana, en que las promesas hechas a Abraham y David respecto al nacimiento del Mesías de su semilla fueron realizados; tal argumento inducía de manera particular a los Judíos para que creyeran en Él. San Mateo, después de haber hecho una gran cosecha de almas en Judea, fue a predicar la fe a las naciones barbaras e incivilizadas del Este. Era una persona muy devota a la contemplación celestial y llevaba una vida austera, usando una dieta muy rigurosa; pues no comía carne en vez satisfacía su apetito con hierbas, raíces, semillas. San Ambrosio dice que Dios le abrió el País de los Persas. Rufinus y Sócrates nos dicen que el llevo el evangelio a Etiopía, significando probablemente las partes Sur y Este de Asia. San Paulino menciona que el terminó su curso en Parthia. Venantus Fortunatus relata que el sufrió el martirio en Nudubaz, una ciudad en esas partes. Dorotheus dice que el fue honorablemente enterrado en Hierapolis en Porthia. Sus reliquias fueron traídas al Oeste. El Papa Gregorio VII, en una carta al Obispo de Salerno en 1080, testifica que fueron guardados en una iglesia que tenia el nombre de la ciudad. Todavía están en este lugar. Tomado de Corazones.org

The sermon emphasizes that the primary mission of the church is not merely to gather for fellowship but to actively reproduce believers and reach the lost. Drawing from Acts 8, it illustrates how persecution scattered the early church, yet this dispersion served God's plan to spread the gospel to Judea and Samaria. The message warns against spiritual complacency, noting that churches which cease to see new spiritual births will eventually decline, much like societies that fail to replenish their population. It asserts that the center of the message must remain the person and work of Jesus Christ, rejecting self-help narratives in favor of the gospel of repentance and salvation. Finally, the sermon calls for a renewed commitment to evangelism and discipleship, urging the congregation to view every activity as an opportunity to present Christ and change lives.

“The Woman At The Well”John 4:1-421 Now Jesus learned that the Pharisees had heard that he was gaining and baptizing more disciples than John— 2 although in fact it was not Jesus who baptized, but his disciples. 3 So he left Judea and went back once more to Galilee.4 Now he had to go through Samaria. 5 So he came to a town in Samaria called Sychar, near the plot of ground Jacob had given to his son Joseph. 6 Jacob's well was there, and Jesus, tired as he was from the journey, sat down by the well. It was about noon.7 When a Samaritan woman came to draw water, Jesus said to her, “Will you give me a drink?” 8 (His disciples had gone into the town to buy food.)9 The Samaritan woman said to him, “You are a Jew and I am a Samaritan woman. How can you ask me for a drink?” (For Jews do not associate with Samaritans.)10 Jesus answered her, “If you knew the gift of God and who it is that asks you for a drink, you would have asked him and he would have given you living water.”11 “Sir,” the woman said, “you have nothing to draw with and the well is deep. Where can you get this living water? 12 Are you greater than our father Jacob, who gave us the well and drank from it himself, as did also his sons and his livestock?”13 Jesus answered, “Everyone who drinks this water will be thirsty again, 14 but whoever drinks the water I give them will never thirst. Indeed, the water I give them will become in them a spring of water welling up to eternal life.”15 The woman said to him, “Sir, give me this water so that I won't get thirsty and have to keep coming here to draw water.”16 He told her, “Go, call your husband and come back.”17 “I have no husband,” she replied.Jesus said to her, “You are right when you say you have no husband. 18 The fact is, you have had five husbands, and the man you now have is not your husband. What you have just said is quite true.”19 “Sir,” the woman said, “I can see that you are a prophet. 20 Our ancestors worshiped on this mountain, but you Jews claim that the place where we must worship is in Jerusalem.”21 “Woman,” Jesus replied, “believe me, a time is coming when you will worship the Father neither on this mountain nor in Jerusalem. 22 You Samaritans worship what you do not know; we worship what we do know, for salvation is from the Jews. 23 Yet a time is coming and has now come when the true worshipers will worship the Father in the Spirit and in truth, for they are the kind of worshipers the Father seeks. 24 God is spirit, and his worshipers must worship in the Spirit and in truth.”25 The woman said, “I know that Messiah” (called Christ) “is coming. When he comes, he will explain everything to us.”26 Then Jesus declared, “I, the one speaking to you—I am he.”27 Just then his disciples returned and were surprised to find him talking with a woman. But no one asked, “What do you want?” or “Why are you talking with her?”28 Then, leaving her water jar, the woman went back to the town and said to the people, 29 “Come, see a man who told me everything I ever did. Could this be the Messiah?” 30 They came out of the town and made their way toward him.31 Meanwhile his disciples urged him, “Rabbi, eat something.”32 But he said to them, “I have food to eat that you know nothing about.”33 Then his disciples said to each other, “Could someone have brought him food?”34 “My food,” said Jesus, “is to do the will of him who sent me and to finish his work. 35 Don't you have a saying, ‘It's still four months until harvest'? I tell you, open your eyes and look at the fields! They are ripe for harvest. 36 Even now the one who reaps draws a wage and harvests a crop for eternal life, so that the sower and the reaper may be glad together. 37 Thus the saying ‘One sows and another reaps' is true. 38 I sent you to reap what you have not worked for. Others have done the hard work, and you have reaped the benefits of their labor.”39 Many of the Samaritans from that town believed in him because of the woman's testimony, “He told me everything I ever did.” 40 So when the Samaritans came to him, they urged him to stay with them, and he stayed two days. 41 And because of his words many more became believers.42 They said to the woman, “We no longer believe just because of what you said; now we have heard for ourselves, and we know that this man really is the Savior of the world.”CONNECT WITH USIf you have any questions or would like to get to know us further, head over to https://www.triumphlbc.org/connect and fill out our online connection card.ABOUT TRIUMPHTriumph wants to see the life and message of Jesus transform your heart, home, and city.

For nearly three years I refused to spend every day chasing the latest lie about Israel. Not because the lies don't matter. Because the Jewish people cannot win if we live forever in the defendant's chair.In Hebrew, the word "Hasbara" is used when defending Israel. But that is the problem, it is defense. Pulse of Israel chose offense.Since October 7 Israel has been fighting a jihadi enemy that massacred families, burned people alive, kidnapped children, raped women, and celebrates murdering Jews. Not only Hamas in Gaza. Hezbollah in Lebanon. Houthis in Yemen. Jihadis in Judea and Samaria. A 1,400+ year jihad now backed by Iran, Qatar, and Turkey.While we fight that war, Western media, campuses, NGOs, and activists folded every allegation, famine, hospitals, aid, journalists, children, into one word: genocide. Holocaust inversion. Jews worldwide were assaulted, cancelled, and intimidated. Then contrary evidence appeared. The megaphone went quiet. Almost no corrections. Almost no apologies.Belgian philosopher Maarten Boudry documented that collapse. He paid for it: cancelled lectures, withdrawn invitations, attempts to get him fired. Liberal democracy is supposed to answer claims with evidence. Not with a mob.Expose every falsehood. Demand accountability. Then get off the stand.October 7 told us who the enemy is. Believe them. Israel did not choose that massacre. Once they chose war, the Jewish state had a duty to defeat those who hunt Jews.We will not apologize for IDF soldiers killing jihadis, destroying terror infrastructure, or defending Jewish families. We are home. We are sovereign. We have an army.The red-green alliance - radical progressives plus jihadi movements - is now inside the West.

https://wels2.blob.core.windows.net/tmb-ehv/03-0918db.mp3 Listen to Bible reading Through My Bible Yr 03 – September 18 Galatians 1 Greeting 1 Paul, an apostle—not from men, nor through a man, but through Jesus Christ and God the Father, who raised him from the dead— 2 and all of the brothers [1] who are with me, To the churches of Galatia: 3 Grace to you and peace from God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ. 4 He gave himself for our sins to rescue us from this present evil age, according to the will of our God and Father— 5 to whom be the glory forever and ever. Amen. Not Another Gospel 6 I am amazed that you are so quickly deserting the one who called you in the grace of Christ, for a different gospel, 7 which is really not another gospel at all. There are, however, some who are trying to disturb you by perverting the gospel of Christ. 8 But even if we or an angel from heaven would preach any gospel other than the one we preached to you—a curse on him! 9 As we have said before, so I now say again: If anyone preaches to you any gospel other than the one you received—a curse on him! 10 Am I now seeking the favor of people or of God? Or am I striving to please people? If I were still trying to gain the approval of people, I would not be a servant of Christ. Jesus Gave Paul the Gospel 11 But I want you to know, brothers, that the gospel I preached is not of human origin. 12 For I did not receive it from man, nor was I taught it, but I received it through a revelation from Jesus Christ. 13 Certainly you have heard of my former way of life in Judaism, how I used to persecute the church of God to an extraordinary degree and tried to destroy it. 14 I was advancing in Judaism beyond many of my contemporaries among my own people, because I was extremely zealous for the traditions of my fathers. 15 However, God, who set me apart from my mother's womb and called me by his grace, was pleased 16 to reveal his Son in me, so that I would preach him among the Gentiles. At that time, I did not immediately consult with flesh and blood, 17 and I did not go up to Jerusalem to those who were apostles before me. Instead I went away into Arabia, and then I returned again to Damascus. 18 Next, after three years, I went up to Jerusalem to meet Cephas [2] and stayed with him fifteen days. 19 But I saw none of the other apostles, except James, the Lord's brother. 20 (Now about the things I am writing to you—look, I assure you in the presence of God that I am not lying.) 21 Then I went to the regions of Syria and Cilicia. 22 I was still personally unknown to the churches of Judea that are in Christ. 23 They heard only: “The one who was once persecuting us is now preaching the faith that he once tried to destroy.” 24 And they were praising God for what happened to me.

As Yom Kippur approaches, Ari and Jeremy reflect on the spiritual meaning of these extraordinary days between Rosh Hashanah and Yom Kippur. Through Parshat Ha'azinu and the words of the prophet Hosea, they explore teshuva, trust, suffering, healing, and the challenge of continuing to sing when there is a gap in the song. What if the struggle you are trying to push out of your prayer is actually the prayer Hashem wants you to bring? What if stumbling is not the end of the road, but evidence that you are still walking? This powerful conversation is an invitation to enter Yom Kippur with honesty, hope, and deeper trust in Hashem—even when we cannot understand the chapter we are living.

Britain, France and Canada moved to restrict trade from Judea and Samaria The Jay Shapiro Show 17SEP2026 - PODCAST

Send us Fan Mail“Will you at this time restore again the kingdom to Israel?” That one question from Acts 1 has fueled generations of prophecy charts, political loyalties, and end-times speculation. We slow down and read the text the way the apostles actually frame it, then we connect it to Romans and Peter to challenge a popular assumption: that God has two separate peoples and two separate programs, Israel and the church, running on parallel tracks. We argue for a straightforward New Testament storyline: one covenant people, one way of salvation in Jesus Christ, and one gospel that gathers Jew and Gentile into a single body. We talk about Romans 11 as a place where readers often import dispensationalism, Christian Zionism, land promises, temple expectations, and a future national kingdom, then we test those claims against the plain emphasis of Acts 1: the Spirit comes, and the mission goes outward to Jerusalem, Judea, Samaria, and the ends of the earth. From there we bring in Romans 14 to define the kingdom of God as righteousness, peace, and joy in the Holy Spirit, not a return to old covenant shadows. We also walk through 1 Peter and 2 Peter 3 to show how apostolic eschatology points to heavenly inheritance, the return of Christ, cosmic judgment, and the new heavens and new earth rather than a temporary earthly political order. We end by pressing the moral weight of theology: when beliefs are used to protect money, influence, or justify injustice, we need honesty and repentance. Subscribe for more careful Bible teaching, share this with someone who loves end-times debates, and leave a review so more listeners can find the show.

The other day, the government of Israel approved the building of a new city in the Shomron to be called SHIRA, on Highway 5, east of Rosh HaAyin, on the way to the city of Ariel. Tens of thousands of apartments will be built. On 9,500 dunams of land that will be home to over 100,000 Jews. Eastern Gush Dan. Half an hour to Tel Aviv. Next to the train.This didn't happen by accident.Smotrich and Netanyahu. A partnership that has totally changed the map of Israel like never before. Approved over 100 new communities in Judea and Samaria. New cities. Around 160 farms reclaiming the land, stopping the illegal Palestinian Authority land grab backed by EU funding. What used to take twenty years now happens in weeks. Now Smotrich has announced doing the same thing in the Negev and Galil, two areas the Arabs have been taking over, making Jews the minority, with no government pushback. He will finally take care of that too. Anyone who knows the government bureaucracy, and the deep state power that has allowed the Arab takeover of the Galil and Negev, understands how many roadblocks Smotrich has to overcome. That is the revolution. That is the vision becoming facts on the ground.And it will stop the second Israelis hand the keys of government back over to deep state powers on the political left, today being led by Eizenkot.After October 7, after the massacre, after Nova, after the country burned, too many Israelis are still ready to vote for the bloc that would make Gadi Eisenkot prime minister. The same man who, as IDF Chief of Staff, hollowed out the army and sold the country the religion of containment, belittled the Jewish concept of rising up to kill those who want to kill you, and “quiet will be met with quiet.” That doctrine didn't give us peace. It gave our enemies years to train, tunnel, arm, and walk into our homes.Eisenkot is not a leader; he's a product. No spine, no charisma, no new thinking since October 7. Just the deep state's latest packaged “savior,” sold to the public as the great hope for replacing Netanyahu.You don't honor the murdered by putting the architects of weakness back in charge.You honor them by finishing the job: more cities, more farms, more Jews on the high ground, an army that deters instead of manages.Smotrich and Netanyahu delivered the building. The other side delivered the conception.If you want Shira and the next hundred communities, they need the votes. Momentum like this is a miracle. Stopping it would be a crime.Share this. The land is being built. We can't hand the country back to the same political left security leaders who preached and practiced appeasement and failed us miserably. We need leaders who know we are facing a jihadi enemy and who have the vision to strengthen a proud Jewish State of Israel.These are redemptive times. We are living miracles in real time. There will still be ups and downs, but the trajectory is up and up, and it is breathtaking.Strengthen your emunah in Hashem. Follow me at the Pulse of Israel and share these truths.

Acts 26:9-20This is the account of the Apostle Paul's testimony of Jesus calling Him to ministry when Paul is on trial before King Agrippa. He said, 9 “I too was convinced that I ought to do all that was possible to oppose the name of Jesus of Nazareth. 10 And that is just what I did in Jerusalem. On the authority of the chief priests I put many of the Lord's people in prison, and when they were put to death, I cast my vote against them. I was so obsessed with persecuting them that I even hunted them down in foreign cities.12 “On one of these journeys I was going to Damascus with the authority and commission of the chief priests. 13 About noon, King Agrippa, as I was on the road, I saw a light from heaven, brighter than the sun, blazing around me and my companions. 14 We all fell to the ground, and I heard a voice saying to me in Aramaic, ‘Saul, Saul, why do you persecute me? It is hard for you to kick against the goads.'15 “Then I asked, ‘Who are you, Lord?' “ ‘I am Jesus, whom you are persecuting,' the Lord replied. 16 ‘Now get up and stand on your feet. I have appeared to you to appoint you as a servant and as a witness of what you have seen and will see of me. 17 I will rescue you from your own people and from the Gentiles. I am sending you to them 18 to open their eyes and turn them from darkness to light, and from the power of Satan to God, so that they may receive forgiveness of sins and a place among those who are sanctified by faith in me.'19 “So then, King Agrippa, I was not disobedient to the vision from heaven. 20 First to those in Damascus, then to those in Jerusalem and in all Judea, and then to the Gentiles, I preached that they should repent and turn to God and demonstrate their repentance by their deeds.

Is “settler violence” an accurate description of a serious problem—or a political narrative being weaponized to demonize Israeli Jews and Israel itself?Rabbi Daniel Levine is joined by anthropologist and anti-Zionism scholar Adam Louis-Klein for a challenging debate about violence in Judea and Samaria, also known as the West Bank.Louis-Klein argues that the phrase “settler violence” collectively portrays hundreds of thousands of Israeli Jews as violent, frequently removes Palestinian violence from the picture, and provides justification for international sanctions against Israel. He examines disputed media reports, the portrayal of the Hilltop Youth, anti-Zionist activism, and the political campaign linking Israeli settlements with state violence.Daniel pushes back: Can Jews forcefully condemn genuine acts of extremist violence without strengthening anti-Zionist propaganda? Does Jewish moral responsibility require confronting wrongdoing within Israel—even when Israel's enemies exploit that criticism?For past episodes with Adam see here:Antizionism in academia:    • Antizionism in Academia | Adam Louis-Klein  What is Antizionism?:    • Anti-Zionism Isn't Political Debate — It's...  The conversation also explores:• Israeli settlers and Palestinian violence in the West Bank• Whether “settler violence” is a legitimate category• Media coverage and conflicting accounts of violent incidents• Israel sanctions and the international campaign against settlements• Liberal Jewish criticism of Israel• Anti-Zionism on the political left and right• Tucker Carlson, Hasan Piker, JD Vance and Josh Shapiro• Anti-Zionism and antisemitism in American politics• The influence of anti-Zionism within universities• Jewish unity, collective responsibility and internal criticism• Whether another intifada could exploit Israel's political divisionsThis is a serious, nuanced disagreement about how Jews should discuss Israel's real problems while confronting movements seeking to delegitimize the Jewish state.CHAPTERS:00:00 What does “settler violence” mean?03:13 Is the term inherently prejudicial?08:56 Can criticism of Israel be separated from anti-Zionism?12:02 Are liberal Jews internalizing anti-Zionist narratives?17:11 Should Jews publicly confront Israel's failures?21:14 Settlements, Oslo and the two-state solution26:20 Who are the Hilltop Youth?31:13 The Huwara attack and Jewish moral responsibility34:53 Settler sanctions and international pressure37:04 Anti-Zionism in American politics41:19 Tucker Carlson and right-wing anti-Zionism44:57 Has anti-Zionism captured academia?48:49 Jewish unity and the danger of another intifadaSubscribe to The Fifth Question for thoughtful conversations about Israel, Zionism, Judaism, antisemitism, Jewish history and contemporary Jewish life.#Israel #SettlerViolence #AntiZionism

As usual, all our chapters are full of meaningful lessons: first, Hezekiah after his life is extended 15 years is succeeded by a 12 yr old son, Manasseh who turns out to be a very bad king.  We wonder about the role of Hephzibah, his mother in this.  The spirituality of whom we marry is very important. Her name is apparently of Phoenician origin, meaning, ‘delight of Baal.' Again the spirit takes Ezekiel to Jerusalem and gives him insight into God's reaction because of his full awareness of the minds of those living there. God always has such knowledge! Awesome!  Ezekiel learns, “But as for those whose heart goes after their detestable things and their abominations, I will bring their deeds upon their own heads, declares the Lord GOD.” [Ch. 11 v.21]  And today?In Luke (Ch. 7) we read how messengers come to Jesus from John the Baptist.  Our Lord has been doing many remarkable miracles, but when he brings to life again a young man who is being carried out to his burial, “fear seized them all, and they glorified God, saying,  ‘A great prophet has arisen among us!' and ‘God has visited his people!'  And this report about him spread through the whole of Judea and all the surrounding country. The disciples of John reported all these things to him. And John,  calling two of his disciples to him, sent them to the Lord, saying, “Are you the one who is to come, or shall we look for another?”  [v.16-19]The way Jesus answers him is instructive – and challenging!  John evidently had certain expectations of the Messiah's work – and what was happening did not fit these.  We look back at ch. 4 and see how Jesus quoted from a scroll of Isaiah when in the Synagogue, v.17-19. It is now instructive to note how Jesus responds to these messengers, “”Go and tell John what you have seen and heard: the blind receive their sight, the lame walk, lepers are cleansed, and the deaf hear, the dead are raised up, the poor have good news preached to them. And blessed is the one who is not offended by me.” [v.22-23]He is telling John to check out and “believe all that the prophets have spoken”!  These are the words of Jesus we will read in ch. 24 v.25, when, after his resurrection he speaks to 2 disciples on the road to Emmaus.  This is a lesson for us as we anticipate the return of our Lord and our expectations are increasing!  We must take a lesson from the quandary of John the Baptist and look to “all that the prophets” have written!  Are they not like pieces of a jigsaw!  We have more and more pieces that seem to fit, but there are still others we are not sure about: events yet to come, maybe very soon, will make the picture clearer and clearer.

On Wednesday's Mark Levin Show, Mohamed Atta's own writings and background suggest that religious conviction and ideological commitment, rather than poverty, foreign policy grievances, or social alienation, were central motivations behind his actions on September 11th.  Western leaders and analysts have often preferred socioeconomic explanations while underestimating the role of religious and civilizational factors.  After misdiagnosing the enemy and importing culturally incompatible populations, the West now confronts the same threat at home and must undertake a serious stock-taking of violent Islamism and the wider ecosystem around it. Both Islamist and Marxist movements are fundamentally driven by the pursuit of power. Western elites often deny or underestimate cultural and ideological threats. Modern challenges to the West extend beyond terrorism to include demographic change, institutional influence, migration pressures, cyber operations, disinformation, and alliances between secular leftist movements and politicized Islamist groups. Western societies face a broader civilizational challenge and must recognize and respond to it in order to preserve their constitutional and liberal traditions. Later, Rep Claudia Tenney calls in to discuss her letter objecting to a British boycott campaign aimed at Israelis living in Judea and Samaria. Section 999 of the Internal Revenue Code requires the United States to track allied countries that boycott, divest from, or sanction Israel (as in the BDS movement) so American companies are not put at commercial risk; she asked Bessent to review whether Britain's action interferes with free U.S. commerce and specifically targets Judea and Samaria. The federal government needs to act because unsanctioned international boycotts harm U.S. businesses and the economy.  Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices

On Tuesday's Mark Levin Show, there's a psyop campaign against Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu just weeks before elections there. The far-left news site Haaretz cites a book that claims Netanyahu ignored a warning from the President of the UAE about Hamas' attack on October 7th. The book cites "three anonymous foreign sources" as proof. Netanyahu's office vehemently denies the report, but all of Netanyahu's election opponents have demanded an immediate investigation. This is a well-timed, well organized political ambush. The Western media and those who hate Netanyahu have latched on to the report, and it has spread like wildfire, and it's very difficult to defend yourself in just a few weeks. The media may be happy if Netanyahu loses, but so will the Iranian regime. Also, no, we shouldn't expand a government program to provide benefits to nearly all families. Doing so would create a broad new entitlement at a time when the nation faces massive debt, rising interest costs, and future funding shortfalls for programs such as Social Security and Medicare. More government spending, borrowing, taxation, and redistribution will worsen fiscal problems and could lead to economic and constitutional consequences. There are certain "conservative" thinkers, institutions, and advocates of “National Conservatism” who embrace larger government solutions, but the central government is already too large and powerful. Government expansion is not the answer to helping families - limiting government involvement is the better approach. Later, the European Union is looking to Israel to strengthen its high-tech air defense and space capabilities, even as 11 European countries impose sanctions on it. This is hypocritical - Israel should say no. European countries provide little support to Israel. Now is a good time to revisit the Falklands and Northern Ireland. The UK government has now set the precedent. Of course, the difference is that Judea and Samaria actually are the indigenes home of the Jews going back thousands of years, long before there were Muslims let alone Palestinians. Finally, Bart Hester, President Pro Tempore of the Arkansas State Senate, calls in and explains that Arkansas is one of the 40 states with an anti-BDS law to push back against antisemitism. The law allows the state to refuse to do business with those who boycott Israel. If countries, rather than just businesses, engage in such actions, Arkansas could add them to a list of entities with which the state will not conduct business. Learn more about your ad choices.
