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

Bible verse of the day:
Proverbs 22:6 - Train up a child in the way he should go, and when he is old, he will not depart from it.

Prayer Request:


Pray for Joel and Leila Goldberg and their whole team and staff at Netivah, that God would continue to bless them and give them all the resources they need to keep investing in the youth of Israel.


Pray for the youth leaders as they continue to be raised up by the Lord to invest in the next generation.


Pray for the young people of Israel as they graduate from high school and go into the army, that God would use them as a mighty force of bold witness and that they would influence their peers and their country more and more.

Welcome to Inside the Epicenter Weekend Edition with New York Times bestselling author and Middle East expert Joel Rosenberg. This is a radio program of the Joshua Fund. Today we're featuring highlights from a message Joel delivered at Calvary Church in Aurora, Colorado. Joel explains why three years of war have created the most spiritually open environment for the gospel in Israel and the Muslim world in modern history — and then turns to Scripture, showing how God has always called ordinary, unqualified, even reluctant people like Nehemiah, Peter, Timothy, and Moses to do extraordinary things. He closes with a direct invitation for anyone listening to say yes to Jesus for the first time.


(01:30) An unprecedented spiritual openness in Israel and the Muslim world
(06:00) Called but unqualified: Nehemiah, Peter, Timothy, Jonah, Gideon, and Moses
(09:30) Transition: what Timothy's calling teaches us today
(10:30) 1 Timothy 4: don't let anyone look down on you
(14:00) A prayer-hearing, wonder-working God: lessons in humility from Joshua and Jericho
(17:30) Confidence in God's Word and the Great Commission
(20:00) An invitation: Is God calling you to something today?
(23:00) Closing prayer of salvation
