This week on the Shoulder to Shoulder Podcast, Pastor Doug and Rabbi Pesach sit down with Emirati scholar and commentator Dr. Salem Alketbi to discuss the shifting dynamics in the Middle East, the role of faith in public discourse, and the surprising ways new alliances and perspectives are reshaping the region. It's a thoughtful and eye-opening conversation that invites us to consider what the future may hold—for Israel, for the Arab world, and for people of faith. Plus: in what ways are the Biblical prophet Baalam's blessings as meaningful today as they have ever been before?
