SHOW NOTES
Today, I’m continuing the summer encore series – re-releases of some of your favorite past episodes – with a special podcast that was recorded in Israel.
As Israel braces for a likely imminent attack by Iran and its allies, it’s important to know what’s going on in Israel and how the people that live there are affected by this ongoing conflict. Samuel Smadja, a friend of mine that lives in Israel, is a Messianic Jew who took time to explain how the Israeli people are doing and what it’s like to be in Israel during a time like this. The Middle East and Israel can be very complicated and I hope you’ll be encouraged to learn more about what’s going on and to pray, as Samuel said to “pray for the peace between the God of Israel and the people of Jerusalem.”
