GAZA A CHRISTIAN PROBLEM?


Listen Later

In part two of Eleisha Foon’s conversation with New Zealand journalist Cole Martin, who spent six months of 2025 in the Occupied West Bank, they confront the Church’s role in the conflict. How has scripture been used to justify violence in Gaza? Why do so many Christians stay silent? And what does faith look like in the face of genocide? This episode exposes a moral reckoning within the Church and the cost of choosing neutrality when humanity bleeds red.
