Shoulder to Shoulder

Whether you're Jewish, Christian, or Muslim, the end of all things revolves around Jerusalem. Perhaps different people have different reasons, but all eyes remain on Jerusalem.

Just before Tisha B’Av, Pesach and Doug sat down with John Enarson of Cry for Zion to discuss the importance of the rebuilding of the Temple... for Christians, as well as Jews. They discussed the role that first century Temple worship played in the lives of Jesus and his disciples, and also analyzed the way that many Christians today have replaced the physical Temple with a spiritual one, and why that may be a theological mistake.

Doug and Pesach sit down with Rabbi Elie Mischel, Director of Education at Israel365. Rabbi Mischel, who recently emigrated to Israel with his family, talks about that journey, how the bond between Jews and Christians at this moment in history must be understood through a Biblical lens, and what's in store for Isrsel365 in the months ahead. And where does the Bible seemingly predict the current war with Hamas? Listen in and find out.

On the morning after what was supposed to be a RED WAVE, sweeping the Republicans to power, Doug and Pesach ponder the early results. Pesach has questions about the way Americans count ballots, in light of his past experience as a poll watcher and vote counter in Israeli elections. Plus we get into the dynamics of "the Jewish vote" and Pesach shares a Biblical teaching that makes a case for government by the will of the people.

Pesach and Doug sat down with Reverend Forbes Matonga of the Methodist church in Zimbabwe, to discuss the future of Christianity in mainline denominations and Christendom at large. As America becomes increasingly secular, the center of Christianity is moving south and east as churches, pastors, and missionaries are being raised up on the continent of Africa.

Pesach, Doug, and our friend Elliott Chodoff discuss the Israeli Election results, who won, who lost, and how likely is it Israel will have Prime Minister Netanyahu again.
