Welcome to Inside the Epicenter with Joel Rosenberg and Lynn Rosenberg, brought to you by the Joshua Fund. In this episode, part of our series celebrating 20 years of The Joshua Fund, Joel sits down with Joel and Leila Goldberg, founders of Netivah, one of the very first ministries The Joshua Fund ever invested in. Netivah is a national youth ministry in Israel that prepares believing teenagers and young soldiers to know, defend, and share their faith — often as the only believer in their entire school. Joel and Leila share powerful testimonies of young people transformed through Netivah's pre-military and discipleship programs, and reflect on 20 years of raising up "arrows" for the next generation of the Israeli church.

(00:00) A generation prepared, not just recruited

(01:36) Introducing Netivah: 20 years of youth ministry in Israel

(04:09) The loneliness of being the only believer in your school

(04:54) Starting Netivah with obedience, not clarity

(06:24) Psalm 127 and Jude: the Scriptures behind Netivah's mission

(09:59) "Jay's" story: from wanting to do the minimum to giving his life to Christ

(14:21) "This is the last chance I'm giving God"

(14:57) A second testimony: transformed through the book of Romans

(18:18) Investing in young women through Netivah 

(18:56) Leila Goldberg on 20 years of God's faithfulness

(20:50) Sharing your faith: the next level after growing in it

(22:15) Why the Joshua Fund has invested in Netiva for 20 years
