Kingdom & Culture with Mike Whitford

Dr. Alicia Jackson & Standing Against Antisemitism

Psalms 122:6 says, "Pray for the peace of Jerusalem: May those who love you be secure." Politics aside, it seems Scripture consistently calls believers to bless the Jewish people. Yet in the midst of world conflict, specifically in the Middle East, there has been a recent increase of Antisemitism not just in the world at large, but in America as well! It is important for kind-hearted people, and especially Christians, to stand against such wickedness and stand with the Jewish people. In this episode, Old Testament scholar and University Professor, Dr. Alicia Jackson helps us understand why and how the Church can and should stand with the Jewish people in the midst of ongoing antisemitism.  See omnystudio.com/listener [https://omnystudio.com/listener] for privacy information.

Have you ever asked God to intervene on your behalf, only to seem like He's 'taking forever' to answer? Have you ever been in that place in your life where you've asked God, "WHY?" In this episode of K&C, Dr. Mark Batterson helps us understand God's heart to bless us while we wait for Him to 'move'. We discuss Pastor Mark's Christian theological contributions to the recent "DAVID" animated movie as well as his latest book "Gradually, Then Suddenly!" and how it seems like God takes forever to move in our lives, but then suddenly He does move and transforms everything for the better!  See omnystudio.com/listener [https://omnystudio.com/listener] for privacy information.
