S05E06 Help Me Understand the Israeli-Palestinian Conflict with Nic Lesmeister

Modern Day Missionaries

Do you feel confused, fired up, or just deeply sad about everything you’ve been hearing in the news lately about the Israeli-Palestinian conflict? There is so much conflicting information out there and even more anger coming at us from both sides. How can we know what to believe and feel? What is a godly, compassionate response?

As a missions community, we felt it was important for us to take a week to look at this biblical, spiritual, and global issue. We talk to Nic Lesmeister, the executive director of Gateway Center for Israel, and he gives an extremely balanced, loving, and wise perspective that is sorely needed in today’s controversial climate. He also shares what we can do and how we can pray. We hope you find it helpful!
