Welcome to Inside the Epicenter with Joel and Lynn Rosenberg, brought to you by the Joshua Fund. We are tackling one of the most urgent challenges facing the church today: why are so many young evangelicals turning against Israel? In this episode—recorded on our recent Alaska cruise—Joel reveals seven critical reasons behind this trend, from gaps in biblical teaching at home and church, to the influence of social media and secular education. Together, Joel and Lynn highlight the vital importance of educating the next generation about God’s heart for Israel and her neighbors, offering practical steps for parents, pastors, and Christian schools. Join us for an honest, hope-filled conversation designed to equip you with the tools and understanding needed to pass on biblical truth in these challenging times faithfully.

Verse of the Day

Deuteronomy 6:6-7. These commandments that I give you today are to be on your hearts. Impress them on your children. Talk about them when you sit at home and when you walk along the road, when you lie down, and when you get up.
