Shoulder to Shoulder Doug Reed and Pesach Wolicki

Pesach and Doug sit down with Josh Hammer, Senior Editor at Large at Newsweek and host of the Josh Hammer Show to discuss his faith and journey. As the conversation takes shape Josh explains that it was a trip to Israel and his politics that ultimately lead him to be more religiously observant after being raised in a Reform Jewish home. His unique journey towards a deeper faith in God has affected his thinking on everything from parenting to education to separation of church and state, and more. You won't want to miss this fascinating discussion where - perhaps atypically - political beliefs led to faith rather than the other way around.

In this episode, Pesach flies solo and has a conversation  with one of America's leading academic theologians, Professor Gerald McDermott. The topic is the long-held Christian position that the church has replaced the Jewish people as God's covenant people. Prof. McDermott explains how this anti-Jewish theology began, why it is wrong, and how Christian thinking is changing regarding the Land of Israel and the Jewish people. You DON'T want to miss this important conversation. Plus: Pesach explains why Israelis, perhaps more than any other people outside the United States, should consider celebrating Thanskgiving.

Pesach and Doug deal with a busy news cycle, first discussing the heroic hostage rescue by the IDF, and then analyzing what that operation might mean for future hostage operations. Afterwards they pivot to Benny Gantz’s withdrawal from the unity government. What are its ramifications? Will there be new elections anytime soon, and would that be good or bad for Israel? What will happen to the war effort? So tune in and continue to pray for Israel.

Doug and Pesach are joined by our good friend, military analyst and res. Maj. Elliot Chodoff. As always, Elliot brings us up to date with the progress of Israel's war against the Hamas. What is the meaning of what we've learned about Egypt's complicity in arming Hamas? What effect is US pressure having on the war? And what about the escalation of hostilities with Hezbollah in the north? All this and more on this week's war update.

Pesach and Doug sit down with Pastor Micah Wood to hear his incredible journey from being a pastor who, for a decade, was theologically opposed to Israel, due to the influence of prominent theologian NT Wright and a replacement theology upbringing, to now being an ardent Israel supporter and Zionist working for Eagles Wings. Listen in to find out how a series of events, including an encounter with Robert Stearns, reading Jewish history books, and participating in a trip to Israel, changed his whole belief system.

Pesach and Doug sit down with Joshua Waller from the Israel Guys to talk about the first Annual Israel Summit being canceled by the Sonesta Hotel in Nashville due to violent threats made by Pro-Hamas/Anti-American thugs. What our enemies meant for evil, God has used for our good. With the help of Gov. Bill Lee, Dave Ramsey, and the Nashville Police Department, the event has been moved to Ramsey Solutions. Now with national media exposure, the conference's registration has doubled and is on its way to being tripled.
