Inside The Epicenter With Joel Rosenberg

Joel and Lynn Rosenberg blend deeply personal reflections with major breaking news from the heart of the Middle East. As they honor the life and faith legacy of Joel’s mother, they also dive into the details of a historic 20-point peace plan brokered by President Trump—one that promises a potential end to the Gaza war if Hamas agrees before a looming deadline. The Rosenbergs unpack what’s in the plan, who’s on board, and what this could mean for the future of Israel, Gaza, and the broader region. Along the way, they offer a biblical perspective on peace, forgiveness, and hope in the midst of conflict, inviting listeners to pray for lasting change and to consider the impact of the gospel in times of loss and uncertainty.

In this episode of "Inside the Epicenter," Joel and Lynne Rosenberg address a growing trend of young evangelicals turning against Israel. Speaking at the Calvary Chapel East Coast Pastors Conference, Joel identifies seven major reasons for this shift, citing a lack of biblical teaching about Israel at home, in churches, and in Christian schools. He stresses the responsibility of parents and churches to educate the next generation and highlights the role of misinformation from secular and social media. Joel also discusses the recent October 7 Hamas attack as a spiritual “shaking” of Israel, not God’s judgment, and urges listeners to adopt a compassionate, biblically balanced approach—loving both Israelis and Palestinians as Jesus commands. The Joshua Fund’s ministry is presented as a model for serving and educating the church regarding God’s purposes for the Middle East.
