In this deeply moving episode of The Jim Wallis Podcast, Jim speaks with Palestinian theologian Samuel Munayer, co-editor of The Cross and the Olive Tree. Munayer offers a rare and urgent conversation about faith, justice, and reconciliation amid genocide and occupation.

Drawing on the living imagery of the olive tree—its rootedness, fruit, and resilience—Munayer explores how Palestinian Christians are reimagining theology as a force for healing, not just advocacy. From the silence of Holy Saturday to a “faith Nakba,” he and Wallis grapple with questions of lament, witnessing, and genuine hope when peace feels impossible.

This is theology grown from suffering soil, yet bearing the fruit of steadfast love and liberation.
