It was an historic day in Israel, a day of euphoria and celebration, that these Christian friends got to experience in person. All the living hostages were released by Hamas and returned to Israel from which they were kidnapped two years ago. The bodies of 28 remaining hostages, most of whom were killed in captivity, are starting to be released. But Hamas is still standing, threatening Israelis and Gazans. 2000 terrorists are being released, 250 of whom are serving one to as many as dozens of life sentences. The victims and family members of these terrorists are scarred. Israelis know that 82% of previous terrorists released have gone back to terror. At the same time, President Trump arrived in Israel and pledged his support and optimism for Israel’s future and the region on the whole. Live this experience through their eyes and ears.

A deal is in place to end the fighting against Hamas in Gaza, to secure the release of the remaining 48 hostages who have been in captivity for two years, and which also compels Israel to release 2000 terrorists. Is peace breaking out? Between the recording and airing of this episode, any number of things can happen and change in an instant. Some of this may be outdated, but it’s still relevant for you to hear and have a hand on the pulse of what Israelis are thinking and how they are feeling. Listen and pray and share. And pray some more.

Two years since the October 7 Hamas massacre of 1200 and kidnapping of 251 people, of whom 48 are still in captivity, Israel finds itself still deep in a war, not only in Gaza but several other fronts. Iran and Hezbollah have been weakened but still remain real threats, Syria has been infiltrated by Islamists with backing from an ever more hostile Turkey yet maybe making overtures to peace, the Houthis in Yemen still manage to fire off missiles and launch drones on a regular basis, sending millions of Israelis to their bomb shelters. And the war on truth, and Jews, worldwide has escalated on many fronts. Israelis are prayerfully cautious about President Trump’s plan to end the war in Gaza and have all the hostages released, something that’s touch and go and a universal sense that Hamas cannot be trusted. Join us to take the pulse of how Israelis are doing.

Genesis 12:3 is a foundational scripture for non-Jews, Christians, to be a blessing to Israel, and for Israel to be a blessing to the families of the world. It’s reciprocal, a formula, albeit parallel. But it’s also sometimes overused, and done so in ways that are transactional, even manipulative. How can we understand the depth and obligations of this pivotal verse and what are our reciprocal obligations to one another as Jews with the world, and the world – and specifically Christians – to Israel and the Jewish people. Buckle up. You’ve never heard this one verse unpacked in this depth, especially now.

Jewish tradition is that sinat hinam, baseless hatred of one another was what led to the destruction of the Temple in Jerusalem. Two years ago, Israel was experiencing tremendous, perhaps unprecedented, disunity. After the October 7 Hamas attack and massacre, we experienced unprecedented unity. Today, Israel is torn and divided on many issues. But the issues are the symptom. The problem is deeper, relating to unconditional love, trust, respect, and listening. How to overcome them sometimes seem insurmountable. Rabbi David Fine and JJ Sussman help to unpack the core of the issues and how, through small steps, we can reach the ultimate goal of unity.

For many Christians, a trip to Israel is a bucket list item, something put off until late adulthood. Despite the draw, most never make it. It used to be common that upon a pastor's retirement, the church would provide a trip to Israel as a gift. However the real gift is the transformative experience of a young pastor not just experiencing Israel but meeting and interacting with the Jewish people. More and more pastors are realizing this, and experiencing transformative visits to and among Israel like these pastors, under the auspices of Eagles Wings and Bishop Robert Stearns. Listen, absorb, be transformed vicariously, and join the Genesis 123 Foundation to make your Israel experience possible.
