If you’re looking for insight and tools to engage with love, humility, and biblical grounding, this episode is for you. Let’s get started!

Verse of the Day: 1 Peter 3:15. Always be prepared to give an answer to everyone who asks you to give the reason for the hope that you have. But do this with gentleness and respect.

Praying for more and more believers to learn how to have scripture-based conversations with Jewish and Muslim friends, how to answer heart questions without pride or argument.
Pray for parents, pastors, and youth leaders to teach the whole counsel of God, including his purposes for Israel, both clearly and graciously.

Verse of the Day: Isaiah 61:1-3 The Spirit of the Lord is upon me because the Lord has anointed me to bring good news to the afflicted. He has sent me to bind up the brokenhearted, to proclaim liberty to captives and freedom to prisoners, to proclaim the favorable year of the Lord and the day of vengeance of our God, to comfort all who mourn, to grant those who mourn in Zion, giving them a garland instead of ashes, the oil of gladness instead of mourning, the mantle of praise instead of a spirit of fainting.

Pray that the Lord release every single one of the hostages held by Hamas.
