  • Genocide in Gaza

    Genocide in Gaza
    Jul 10 2024
    "If you are not appalled by what is happening; if you are not shaken to your core – there is something wrong with your humanity. If we, as Christians, are not outraged by this genocide, by the weaponizing of the Bible to justify it, there is something wrong with our Christian witness, and compromising the credibility of the Gospel! If you fail to call this a genocide. It is on you. It is a sin and a darkness you willingly embrace." - Rev. Dr. Munther Isaac Support the Pass The Mic podcast at patreon.com/passthemic Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices
