Join Aaron and Alicia Jackson in a conversation about her amazing story of how she came to love and appreciate God’s heart for Israel and the Jewish people. Aaron and Alicia also talk about the upcoming conference sponsored by Israel Team at Vanguard University in Costa Mesa, California on March 20: Does Israel Matter?

Listen now to Aaron’s conversation with Dexter Van Zile, managing editor of Focus on Western Islamism at the Middle East Forum, about the statement condemning Christians who support Israel made last weekend by the Patriarchs and Heads of the Churches in Jerusalem. In the statement, the Patriarchs proclaim that Christians who support Israel “mislead the public, sow confusion, and harm the unity of our flock.” Find out what is behind this attempt to delegitimize the Jewish people and nullify their right to exist in their God given land.

Listen now to a hope filled conversation with Dr. Dyanne Martin, Associate Professor at Wheaton College where she teaches Holocaust literature. Dyanne shares her story about how her classes are changing the hearts and minds of future Christian leaders.

Listen now to Aaron’s story about his journey to the Auschwitz death camp. Through your donations, Israel Team provided transportation, food, and lodging for a group of students and faculty to travel from Prague in the Czech Republic to Krakow, Poland for three days to tour Auschwitz, Birkenau, and Oscar Schindler’s enamel works factory in which he saved the lives of over 1,200 Jewish people.

Listen now to Aaron’s discussion with the managing editor of Focus on Western Islamism at the Middle East Forum, Dexter Van Zile. Why has much of the western world become deranged in its embrace of antisemitism and turned a blind eye to Islamic terrorism while supporting the Islamization of the west as a righteous cause? Is America following the same path as the UK which has allowed its cities to be taken over by radical Islamists?

Listen now to Aaron’s conversation about one possibility behind the murderous rage against Jews overflowing within Palestinians. Will this hatred ever be cured? Will peace in the Middle East be a possibility within our lifetime? Will the Abraham Accords signed by Israel and her Arab neighbors be successful?

God’s promise to restore the Jews to their land is an entire Bible teaching in both Old and New Testaments.
