Hi, I'm Cissy Graham Lynch.

Welcome to Fearless, helping you to be fearless.

Well, welcome to be fearless. Well, welcome to a special episode of Fearless, because today I'm recording here in Israel. I am in Jerusalem. I'm here at the TBN studios where we have had quite a special day with my dad and with Samaritan's

purse. But I've asked a very dear friend, Samuel Smaja, to join me on today's episode of Fearless. And Samuel is the president of Sorrell Tours. If one of the churches

you've attend goes on a tour to Israel, more likely they've gone through his tour company. He's also the

director of T-B-BAN here in Israel, but he's also a

Messianic believer and he is a pastor of a Messianic congregation here in

Jerusalem and for those that don't know who are listening in America that means a

Jew that believes that Jesus is the Messiah. I wanted to explain that because I

know some people might be listening might not understand what that is and so I've

asked him here to unpack. You know my heart here

on Fearless even before October 7th has always been a passion of mine to help you

understand complicated issues here on Fearless and to simplify it for you in the

Middle East and Israel can be very complicated.

But even before October 7th, we have always done podcasts and episodes about Israel wanting people to understand more

so I'm glad you're here. Thank you for joining me. I'm sorry it's under these circumstances.

Thank you, C. C. Thank you for coming to Israel, especially in this time where as you saw on the streets you

walk just in the street of Jerusalem, the city is empty, the old city is empty,

but the real friends of Israel are coming and are coming and are standing with Israel in this very, very

hard time.

Today was a special day and special might be a unique word to use. It was an emotional day for me.

And I think for the last couple of days that I've been here for Israel, you realize people's hearts are still so tender.
