This week, Granger and AntMan take on one of the most complicated and emotional topics in the world today — Israel. With headlines filled with bombings, politics, and global tension, they slow down to ask a deeper question: how should Christians really think about what’s happening there?

 

Granger shares his experiences from two trips to Israel, including visits to the site of the 2023 music festival massacre near Gaza. He describes walking through memorials, seeing the bunkers, and talking with Israeli soldiers and families living in constant fear. But he also tells the stories of Palestinians he met in the West Bank — parents who just want to feed their children and live in peace.

 

The conversation moves from the human side of the conflict to the spiritual one. Granger and AntMan open Scripture to look at what the Bible says about Israel — the difference between the modern nation and the Israel of the Bible, and how Christians should view God’s promises today.

 

In the end, Granger reminds listeners that God doesn’t pick sides the way we do. He’s not for one nation or another; He’s for His own purpose and glory. It’s a hard but hopeful truth, pointing us back to Christ as the only source of real peace in a world that keeps breaking apart.
