When evil boasts, truth must bear witness. After a screening of October 7: Bearing Witness to the Massacre at Lexington’s historic Lyric Theater, we sat down with co-creator, Justin Kron, and Israeli believer, David Boskey, for an unfiltered Q&A. The conversation traces the long arc leading to October 7, why the online narrative flipped overnight, and how followers of Jesus should respond without naïveté or despair.

We talk about the spiritual war beneath the politics, the cost of telling the truth, and the aching question of hostages still in captivity. We explore how trauma can open doors for real hope, and why any durable “peace plan” must deal with ideology and spiritual warfare, not just borders.

Finally, we get practical: where to find reliable info, how to disciple the next generation against propaganda, and why churches must speak with clarity. We end with an invitation to pray, to gather, and to stand with Israel in a way that honors Messiah and blesses the nations.

Key Takeaways

• October 7 exposed not just terror but a global information war; propaganda mobilized campuses within hours.
• Evil is real; Scripture frames this as a spiritual battle against what God blesses - including Israel’s ongoing existence.
• Trauma in Israel is ongoing; hostages and a long war have reshaped daily life.
• Durable peace must confront indoctrination, not merely redraw maps.
• The Church’s silence wounds; loving Israel is part of God’s mission to the nations.
• Disciple your people before the internet does; recommend reliable sources and films.
• Practical next steps: pray, learn, gather, and share this film widely.

We don’t know the problem we have: reading the Bible at the surface. English translations are trustworthy, but they flatten words that Hebrew infused with density, imagery, and connection. We end up missing layers of meaning that would transform how we live.

In this conversation, we explore what happens when Hebrew cracks open the text.

Familiar words you thought you understood suddenly leap off the page. Hope is sturdier, love is covenantal, fear is reframed, faith is embodied. The story of God’s promises comes alive in a way that makes you want to keep digging.

This isn’t about becoming a scholar. It’s about recognizing that the Bible is one unified story and learning how the Hebrew underneath points us more deeply to the God who keeps His promises and to the Messiah who fulfills them.

Key Takeaways

• We often assume we know what biblical words mean, but translation thins their meaning.
• Hebrew restores density, imagery, and connection across the Testaments.
• Reading with Hebrew awareness turns abstract concepts into embodied realities.
• Surface-level reading can keep us from seeing God’s covenant faithfulness.
• The Bible is one story, not two disconnected halves.
• Studying Hebrew words is a practical tool for deeper discipleship.
• This shift leads to sturdier hope, reoriented fear, covenantal love, and faithful living.

Galatians 3 has done a lot of heavy lifting in modern theology. Some say it proves everything is now “spiritual,” that Israel was folded into the church and the land promise dissolved. We open the text and ask: is that what Paul actually says?

Paul’s concern is rescue, not replacement. He confronts the claim that Gentiles need the works of the law to belong. By returning to Abraham, he shows that righteousness has always been by faith and that the blessing promised to the nations reaches its center in the Messiah. That’s inclusion without erasure.

We then trace what Galatians 3 does say - justification by faith, Gentile heirship with Abraham, the law as guardian, one body in Messiah - and what it never says: that the church is the new Israel or that Jewish identity and the land are cancelled. The result is a bigger table, not a different family.

• Justification by faith predates Sinai; Abraham believed and was counted righteous.
• Gentiles are heirs with Abraham through the promised Seed, Messiah Jesus, without identity transfer to “Israel.”
• The law is a guardian, not a ladder; it cannot annul the earlier promise.
• “Neither Jew nor Greek” means equal standing, not uniform roles in redemptive history.
• Paul never says “the church is Israel.” Inclusion doesn’t require erasing Jewish calling.
• The three strands remain - people, place, purpose - brought to coherence in Messiah, not collapsed by Him.
• Romans 9–11 safeguards Israel’s ongoing calling, warning Gentiles against arrogance.
