Before jumping to headlines, modern Israel, or end-times conclusions, Bryan Catherman and Josiah Walker slow down and ask the more basic and more important question: What did God actually promise Abraham? Walking through Genesis 12, 15, 17, and 22, they trace the promise of land, seed, and blessing and show that it is real, covenantal, and rooted in history, yet already bigger than one man, one nation, or one strip of land. If we are going to think clearly about Israel, we have to begin where the Bible begins. Episode 2 of “Israel, the Church, and God’s Promises” starts where this conversation has to start: Genesis.

This episode kicks off a new series called “Israel, the Church, and God’s Promises.” Bryan Catherman and Josiah Walker want to work out a series of questions for their own exploration of how Israel relates to the church and much more. What do we mean by biblical Israel, ethnic Israel, covenant Israel, remnant Israel, the church, and modern Israel? Why does this subject become such a distraction in church life, and why do so many Christians feel like they’re one wrong sentence away from being called pro-Israel, anti-Israel, or liberal? What does the Bible say? How might we think about this? What does this matter? This is the introduction to a 9-week series on this topic. Copyright 2026.
