“It has taken courage to birth these nations.”

These words are an enduring theme in the life and work of Bishop E.W. Jackson—a pastor, an attorney, a U.S. Marine, and a Christian friend of Israel. A proud American who also stands for the Jewish state, Bishop Jackson sat down recently with Yael Eckstein to discuss his own experiences and his thoughts on the ongoing violence being experienced not just by the people of Israel, but by Jewish people around the world.

Bishop Jackson’s own military service gives him some insight into the struggles Israel faces—defending herself on the battlefield and in the international media. But he shares with Yael his own commitment to standing for Israel now, just as when he was a Marine, “the stewardship of my country was in my hands.”

It’s this stewardship that these two friends in faith and fellowship discuss in this inspiring conversation that once again shows how Israel’s Christian friends are supporting her in her greatest time of need.
