U.S. Midterms: A Wake-Up Call for Christians #396

What do America’s midterm elections mean for Israel—and how should Christians respond?

In this episode of Inside the Epicenter, Joel and Lynn Rosenberg share their perspective from Jerusalem on what Joel describes as one of the most troubling weeks in U.S.-Israel relations. They discuss the election results, the debate over American military assistance to Israel, and the concerns Israelis are expressing about the future of the alliance.

Joel examines the role of economic frustration, the war with Iran, and attitudes toward Israel in shaping voters’ decisions. He and Lynn also explore evangelical participation in the election and why Christians must remain engaged without placing their ultimate hope in political leaders.

Drawing on Isaiah 41:10 and Genesis 12:3, they offer a call to prayer, faithfulness, and practical action. Discover how learning, praying, giving, and going can help strengthen the church and bless Israel and her neighbors—even in uncertain times.
