Can true peace exist in a world divided by conflict, extremist ideologies, and identity crises? In this deep-dive conversation, hosts John Moore and Brian Ketchem are joined by Sandro Jadon, an Arab-Christian living in Nazareth, to discuss the ground-level reality of life in Israel today.
From the terrifying moments of the October 7th massacre to the day-to-day interactions between Jewish, Muslim, and Christian citizens, this episode goes beyond the headlines to explore the complexities of the Middle East. We dispel common myths about the "divided" nation and discuss how Judeo-Christian principles of human value can provide a roadmap for peace in an increasingly radicalized world.
