Weekend Edition: East Coast Pastors Conference Pt.2
In this episode of "Inside the Epicenter," Joel and Lynne Rosenberg address a growing trend of young evangelicals turning against Israel. Speaking at the Calvary Chapel East Coast Pastors Conference, Joel identifies seven major reasons for this shift, citing a lack of biblical teaching about Israel at home, in churches, and in Christian schools. He stresses the responsibility of parents and churches to educate the next generation and highlights the role of misinformation from secular and social media. Joel also discusses the recent October 7 Hamas attack as a spiritual “shaking” of Israel, not God’s judgment, and urges listeners to adopt a compassionate, biblically balanced approach—loving both Israelis and Palestinians as Jesus commands. The Joshua Fund’s ministry is presented as a model for serving and educating the church regarding God’s purposes for the Middle East.
