Inside The Epicenter With Joel Rosenberg

Welcome to Inside the Epicenter with Joel and Lynn Rosenberg, brought to you by the Joshua Fund. In this episode, we travel to the Calvary Chapel East Coast Pastors Conference in Philadelphia, where Joel addresses a crucial issue: why are so many young evangelicals turning against Israel? Drawing on decades of experience, Joel outlines seven key reasons behind this shift, ranging from gaps in biblical teaching and the impact of secular culture to a lack of compassion for Palestinians within the church. He shares how recent events, including the October 7th attacks, have transformed the region and highlights the Joshua Fund’s mission to bring practical aid and the love of Jesus to both Israelis and their neighbors. Join us as we examine what’s at stake for the next generation and how we can reclaim a biblical vision for Israel, the Middle East, and the church’s role in the epicenter today.

Verse of the Day: John 10:10. The thief comes to steal and kill and destroy. But I came that they might have life and have it abundantly. 

Pray for people to be part of fulfilling the Great Commission in the epicenter that God would raise up laborers and send them to the field, and that his church would resource those laborers more and more.

Pray also for our young people, the next generation, that they may be educated about Israel, that they may have a heart to truly know God's word and understand God's love for Israel and her neighbors. We truly need to pray for this generation to regain a solid understanding of Scripture.

Welcome to Inside the Epicenter. In this episode, host Joel Rosenberg sits down with Dr. Hormoz Shariat, the founder of Iran Alive Ministries—a man often called the “Billy Graham of Iran.” Together, they unpack the aftermath of the “12 Day War” between Israel and Iran, examining the impact on the Iranian regime, the hopes and fears of the Iranian people, and how recent conflict fuels a spiritual awakening across the country.

The conversation examines how Iranians perceive their leadership during a crisis, their unusual attitudes toward Israel and the United States, and the role of the church in a nation yearning for change. Joel and Hormoz also discuss what Bible prophecy—specifically Jeremiah 49 and Ezekiel 38—might reveal about Iran's future and what these tumultuous days mean for believers both inside and outside the country.

Bible Verse

Jeremiah 49, focusing on verses 37–38:
“So I will shatter Elam before their enemies and before those who seek their lives, and I will bring calamity upon them, even my fierce anger, declares the Lord, and I will send out the sword after them until I have consumed them. And then he says, God says through Jeremiah the prophet in verse 38, then I will set my throne in Elam and destroy out of it king and princes, declares the Lord.”
(Jeremiah 49:37-38)

Prayer Request

Joel asked for prayer for:
The liberation of Iran
Growth and courage of the church in Iran
The salvation of many more millions in Iran
Judgment on the wicked regime (unless they turn to Jesus and step down from power)

Dr. Hormoz Shariat added:
Pray for God’s intervention, as for the Iranian people, it’s a choice between “bad and worse.”
Even if the government collapses, pray against greater suffering and confusion duringthe  transition, and that Iranians would not be deceived.
Pray for Iranian Christians to remain courageous and not be controlled by fear but by “faith, hope, and love,” gathering the harvest in these difficult times.

Verse of the Day: Psalms chapter 73: 22-24. Nevertheless, Lord, I am continually with you. You hold my right hand, you guide me with your counsel, and afterward you will receive me to glory. Whom have I in heaven but you? And there is nothing on earth that I desire besides you. My flesh and my heart may fail, but God is the strength of my heart, my portion forever. For behold, those who are far from you shall perish. You put an end to everyone who is unfaithful to you. But for me, it is good to be near God. I have made the Lord God my refuge, so I may tell of all your works.

Pray for the church to be bold and to see the opportunities
Praying for the believers to be calm, to come together, to grow in their faith and grow in community, and also to keep our eyes on the Great Commission, that those around us need to know the hope that is in us.

Verse of the Day: Psalm 91:1-5  (NASB)- He who dwells in the shelter of the Most High
Will abide in the shadow of the Almighty. I will say to the Lord, “My refuge and my fortress,
My God, in whom I trust!” For it is He who delivers you from the snare of the trapper
And from the deadly pestilence. He will cover you with His pinions, and under His wings you may seek refuge; His faithfulness is a shield and bulwark. You will not be afraid of the terror by night, or of the arrow that flies by day;

Pray for peace, pray for total victory over the Iranian regime, and pray for protection from these missile and drone attacks from Iran, and that Israel could defeat and destroy all of those missiles and drones so we don't have to shoot them out of the sky.
