(127) Can American Christianity Survive Neo-Marxism? A Conversation with Yoram Hazony

Pesach and Doug sit down with the new Executive Director of the Philos Project, Luke Moon, and the conversation takes some interesting twists and turns. They start off with a discussion of the pro-Hamas protests at Columbia University, and a recent rally where Luke helped lead 5000 Christians in a pro-Israel march on its campus. As the conversation progresses, Luke argues that older Millenials are far more anti-Israel than Gen Z, while Doug and Pesach offer their own take on the reasons for that counterintuitive conclusion. They also talk about eschatology, politics, Trump, whether many Christians understand the importance of this historical moment, and much more. You’ll enjoy this conversation, and perhaps leave with a little hope.

Doug and Pesach get caught up on Pesach's recent activities in Washington, D.C. and discuss the recent massive attack by the Iranian regime on Israel. How did so many missiles fail to inflict any significant damage? What is going on inside Iran? And what does this mean for Israel in the days ahead? Join us in praising God for His hand of protection in the days leading up to Passover, the festival of Remption.

Pesach and Doug sit down with Dr. Tricia Miller to discuss a disturbing trend among many Christians whom you’d expect to be ardent supporters of Israel, yet who are neutral towards Israel at best, and antisemitic at worst. Some major denominations and publications seem to support Israel enough to stay out of the headlines but not enough to make a difference. Others, believe it or not, have not just blatantly bought into the Hamas narrative, but are actively supporting it. How did this happen? Is it related to replacement theology? And what can we do to try to turn things around?

Pesach and Doug sit down with Yoram Hazony, and the conversation quickly takes a turn into the far left ideology that is dominating the media and American culture, neo-Marxism. It has become a staple of the Left in American politics, and is running rampant in American colleges and universities. Since the riots of 2020 it has been at the forefront of our culture, and demands a response from all people - but particularly people of faith. What should believing Jews and Christians do? What sort of country or world will be left to our kids and grandkids if we do nothing? What kind of church and form of Christianity will be passed on? Join us for this must-listen conversation.

Pesach and Doug sit down with Gedaliah Blum to discuss his personal journey into Israel advocacy through the Heartland Initiative. Gedaliah discusses his recent trip to South Africa to meet with leaders to advocate support for Israel. While he was there, he ended up on a flight sitting right in the middle of an anti-Israel group and made an unlikely friend - showing that even when you think there's nothing to do, you may in fact be wrong. You won’t want to miss this story and so much more from this conversation.

Doug and Pesach are joined by our friend, military and geostrategic analyst Elliot Chodoff for a wide-ranging conversation. From Chuck Schumer's obnoxious attack on Israel to a forecast of what's next in war in Gaza, this episode will keep you fully informed about the situation in Israel. To what degree is Israel winning the war? Is there a realistic chance for a truce and hostage release before Israel invades Rafah? Does Hamas truly represent the Palestinian people, or has it remained in power against the will of Gaza's residents? And how serious is Israel when it claims that nothing will stop it from wiping out Hamas? Learn the answers and stay up-to-date by listening in to this timely and important conversation.

Pesach interviews Stuart Force, father of US combat veteran Taylor Force, who was murdered in Israel by Palestinian terrorists. Stuart tells the story of Taylor's murder,  the campaign to create and pass the Taylor Force Act into US law, and about the new lawsuit being brought against the Biden Administration for its violations of it. But first, Pesach shares some thoughts on the rebirth of the trait of Jewish courage over the past century.

Doug and Pesach sit down with Avi Zimmerman, President of the Judea and Samaria Chamber of Commerce. Avi described his groundbreaking work nurturing business relationships between Israelis and Palestinians in Judea and Samaria and how he sees this work as a Biblical mandate. And since Oct. 7, Avi has given his time to help us be more effective givers of charity, as outlined in his book, Kosher Giving. Plus: Pesach and Doug review some of the most meaningful comments they received in the wake of last week's inspiring episode on Jewish prayer.

As the Biden Administration and the international community pressure Israel to accept a Palestinian State, Doug and Pesach explore the wide range of problems with this seemingly good idea.
