In today's episode, Joel and Lynn Rosenberg sit with Dr. Jeff Myers, president of Summit Ministries and author of Should Christians Support Israel? Together, they tackle the surge in antisemitism, the complex worldview battles facing young people, and the widespread misunderstandings about Israel in today's culture. Dr. Myers discusses why so many in the next generation are turning against Israel, the difference between propaganda and biblical truth, and how Christian parents and leaders can equip young people to navigate these difficult conversations. With a heart for Israelis and Palestinians, Dr. Myers offers practical strategies for reclaiming thoughtful, truth-filled dialogue grounded in Scripture. This episode is for you if you want clarity, hope, and actionable ways to talk about Israel and faith in our challenging times.
