In this episode, we're honored to sit down with Michael Mistretta from FIRM, the Fellowship of Israel Related Ministries. FIRM is an incredible organization that is changing lives on the ground in Israel, especially during these tumultuous times.

This episode takes you inside amazing stories of faith from the most unlikely places. You'll hear about the extraordinary risks Muslims are taking to follow Jesus—risks that involve their personal safety, their relationships, and sometimes even their lives. To give you a glimpse into the life-changing decisions being made, Tom and his team ask every Muslim two crucial questions before they decide to follow Jesus. These questions offer you a perspective that goes far beyond the evening news and takes you deep into the heart of what's actually happening on the ground.

In this urgent episode of the Jewish Road Podcast, we sit down with Olivier Melnick to tackle the issue of antisemitism—a problem more widespread and relevant than many realize. Especially given last week's tragic attacks that ended over 1,300 Israeli lives, this is a conversation we can't afford to ignore. Olivier, a French Messianic Jew, provides crucial insights into the origins and endurance of antisemitism, from its Biblical beginnings to its alarming resurgence in the modern world.

In today's episode, we welcome Justin Kron, founding director of the Kesher Project and co-creator, producer of the groundbreaking documentary, "Hope in the Holy Land." With deep roots in the Israeli-Palestinian conflict and years of hands-on experience leading tours to Israel, Justin provides an invaluable perspective on this incredibly complex and emotionally charged topic. We talk about the nuances of the Israeli-Palestinian conflict, offering insights that go beyond typical political talking points.

We come to you with a burdened heart, focusing on the conflict tearing through the Holy Land of Israel. As we record this episode, rockets rain down and families are torn apart. This isn’t just a geopolitical issue, it's yet another somber chapter the Jewish people are living and dying through.
