Summary

The dehumanization of God's people is no longer subtle. From the violence directed at Charlie Kirk to the alarming surge of antisemitism across the globe, one thing is clear: This isn’t just political tension or cultural unrest—it’s a spiritual agenda. Joining Pastor Allen is Ronny Simon, a respected Israeli historian and guide who offers deep insight into the spiritual and historical context of the Jewish people’s ongoing struggle. Together, they explore the conflict in Israel and the growing threat of terror—both on U.S. soil and abroad. In this episode, we ask the urgent question: What can the Church do in response to such blatant expressions of evil?
