On this week’s episode of The Greg Laurie Show, Pastor Greg once again invites Dr. Jeremiah Johnston to join him on the mic—this time diving deep into the significance of Israel, the Jewish roots of Christianity, and why Bible prophecy is more relevant now than ever.

Together, Greg and Jeremiah tackle some of the big questions facing the church today: Why is antisemitism suddenly on the rise in academic and cultural spaces? What does it mean that many Christians have forgotten the Jewish identity of Jesus? And how should believers respond to the charged debates about Israel’s right to exist? With honest (and sometimes challenging) storytelling, they share moving moments, from visiting Holocaust sites to gifting armored ambulances to Israel in Jesus’ name.

Whether you’re hungry for honest answers, passionate about prophecy, or seeking a deeper connection to biblical history, this episode will equip you to defend your faith and stand with Israel—rooted in God’s timeless Word.
