In this episode special guests Pastor Russell Johnson and Dr. Michael Brown share their powerful experiences and insights on combating antisemitism, the demonic coalition against Israel, and the historical and theological significance of Israel in God's plan. Discover how standing with Israel aligns with God's desire and brings unparalleled blessings, even amidst threats and challenges. Tune in for an episode filled with courage, faith, and the importance of aligning with God's heart.

Pastor Will uses Exodus 16 and the story of manna to show that God’s design for spiritual growth is daily dependence on Him, not occasional encounters, as Israel’s grumbling in the wilderness revealed hearts shaped by fear and self-reliance while God responded by inviting them into a daily rhythm of trust, obedience, and relationship through heavenly provision; manna illustrates that yesterday’s encounter cannot sustain today’s hunger, teaching that discipleship is formed through consistent daily encounters with God—especially through prayer, the Word, and worship—which cultivate intimacy, maturity, and readiness for holy visitations, ultimately pointing to Jesus as the true Bread of Life who satisfies and transforms His people one day at a time.

In this message, Ps. Seth continues our Word of the Year with Ascend the Hill — Part 2. He unpacks the meaning of the hill as the place of encounter with God and challenges us to be a people who don’t settle for distance, but intentionally pursue His presence. Through holiness, intentionality, and expectancy, we learn how to ascend the hill and position our lives for deeper encounters with Him.
