Choosing Faith

In 2018, Jason Hartley, an experienced counter-terrorism consultant, travelled to Hebron in the Middle East to further his PhD research.

Known as the 'hotbed' of terrorism, Hebron is certainly not your average tourist destination. Deciding to go was a process that could only be made through prayer and the comforting assurance of the Lord. As it turned out, Jason’s experience in Hebron was much more than just a research trip, and in his conversations with various Israeli and Palestinian citizens, he was able to share gospel truths to break down some of the deeply engrained cultural perceptions each had about the other. 

In this episode Jason shares his experience about following spiritual promptings, and finding the true source of peace, even amidst a conflict thousands of years old.
