If you are a pastor, you probably have already fielded questions about the war between Israel and Hamas. Few of us our political experts. Yet Israel has a special place in our theological outlook of the world. And many Christians are asking questions about this conflict. How can we as pastors and Christian leaders talk about the war in wise and godly ways? How can we answer the inevitable questions that we will be asked? In this panel, Wyatt Graham, Paul Carter, RD Glenn, and Rob Godard seek to share their collective wisdom on how to pastorally speak about the war between Israel and Hamas without giving up the centrality of the Gospel of Jesus Christ. This might be a controversial episode. But we think it's a topic that we cannot ignore given how important the pastoral issues are.
