So many people oppose Israel as a nation...as a land.

But it's so clearly evidence that God is not done with Israel, and in fact has a special place in His heart for Israel.

In this episode, we dive into one of our favorite chapters of Chris' book, Is God A Zionist, showcasing how the land matters to God and why it points to God indeed being a Zionist.

There are 4 main objections or points of contention for Christian when it comes to holding this view, and we unpack each of those, and then go into the underlying theology behind why this is so hard for people to grasp...basically, that the importance of the physical world has been eroded due to forces like Neoplatonism and Gnosticism.

If you're wondering why it matters that Israel is back in the land, join us.

Today we dive into Chapter 5 of Chris' book, Is God A Zionist, tackling one of the most clear and persuasive arguments for why we hold the position that we do, that God IS a Zionist.

We'll be teasing out Romans 9 through 11, and showing some of the nuance that is often missed in this conversation to prove that replacement theology is NOT what Paul had in mind, and that there is still something extremely important about the Jewish people in God's plans.

This has often been called the apex of argumentation for the Jewish people in Paul's writings, so grab your copy of the book (link below) and listen as you read along to get the full story.

This is THE issue we need to get right as Christians in this time in world history. Make sure you know what you believe, and why.
