Inspiration from Zion from Jonathan Feldstein

Pastors Cameron Brice, Shawn Gabie, Dwayne Hardin, Juan Rivera, and Micah Wood arrived in Israel for 72 hours as part of a solidarity mission with Eagles Wings. This powerful and inspiring conversation ranges from what they thought and how they responded in the aftermath of the October 7 massacre, to speaking about pastors who don’t get it, don’t support Israel, and need help to understand. As wou...

It was a more powerful moment to come to Israel and be baptized in the Jordan River than to win the Super Bowl. That’s according to former NFL player Earl Christy. Powerful indeed. He and Tyrone Keys, previous Super Bowl champions shared their experiences along with Chad Burmeister of the Pro Player Prayer Project. It’s an intense and personal conversation about their faith and the significance of...

Israel has begun a careful initiative to show an unedited 47 minute video, compilation of images filmed by the actual terrorists who perpetrated the October 7 massacres in Israel, CCTV images, and first responder experiences. They are described as the most horrific thing people have ever seen. What are the responses to seeing these images that cannot be unseen? Should they be shown at all, or even...

Last week, a group of American cowboys, dressed in wide-brimmed hats, denim jeans, leather belts with large buckles and well-worn boots, galloped into Israel, capturing Israel by storm when spotted at JFK airport. By the time they landed, their picture had gone viral, and then another one went viral again from Ben Gurion Airport. Remarkably, after the war started, the cowboys not only arrived to h...

A consequence of Israel’s war against Hamas has been the unleashing of rabid, ugly, and violent antisemitism all over the world. Rather than protesting against Israel (or for Palestinian Arabs), many cases exist of protesting and threatening Jews, and active support of Hamas. Individuals have been threatened with violence, rape, and murder. How are Christians who love and stand with Israel and the...

On December 18, 2010, Kristine Luken and Tal Hartuv were on a hike in the Judean hills outside Jerusalem when they were discovered, bound and gagged, and repeatedly stabbed by Palestinian Arab terrorists. Kristine was an American Christian and died. Tal miraculously survived. This is the first time that Tal and Kristine’s twin sister, Kathleen, are having a public conversation about their survival...

On October 7, Israel suffered a gruesome surprise attack by Hamas, an evil Islamic terror organization that took control of Gaza in 2007, and has made life painful for Israelis and Palestinian Arabs ever since. Hamas terrorists came armed with manuals and vast weapons to commit some of the most atrocious crimes against humanity seen. As of this report, more than 1400 were massacred, mostly civilia...

This year, there have been a number of offensive assaults on Christians in Israel from spitting to aggressive protests, vandalism and desecration of church properties. These have become more public, and perhaps more frequent, especially this month when one particular video went viral of Orthodox Jews spitting at Christians in Jerusalem’s Old City. What’s behind this? What can be done? Is there a l...

Aliyah – the return of the Jewish people from exile in the four corners of the world – is prophetic.  But it’s not always easy. The Jewish people have been in diaspora for millennia. Because of so many foreign powers occupying the Land of Israel for so many centuries, it wasn’t always easy to come back.  Now, 75 years into statehood, it’s not always easy to leave the diaspora, or to become settled...

Recent news reports about the International Christian Embassy Jerusalem (ICEJ) being denied visas for staff and volunteers have created shock, dismay, and backlash leading some to ask if Israel’s government is being anti-Christian.

Black Lives Matter is a truism but it’s also become an organization that has become antisemitic and anti-Israel, driving a wedge between blacks and Jews, among whom there have been a long standing commonalities and mutual interests.  Every Black Life Matters turns BLM on its head from a Biblical, moral, and entrepreneurial perspective, looking for solutions to racism, not fanning the flames of hat...

In recent months, Sweden has been embroiled in a domestic conflict that has spilled over into international forum, with wide and even violent consequences.

What makes burning a Bible, Torah, or Koran lega...

Tisha B’Av is the day on the Biblical calendar that is the saddest, most solemn, and on which Jews around the world have mourned and fasted for millennia. Why? What happened that’s so bad and how do Jews have a whole season of mourning proscribed?
