Christian Zionism w/ Jonathan Brenneman

In this special and urgent episode, Hailey welcomes Jonathan Brenneman, co-founder of Christians for a Free Palestine, for a critical discussion on Christian Zionism and its far-reaching implications. Moving beyond typical theological discourse, this essential conversation examines how Christian Zionism is being wielded to support both the genocide in Gaza and the rise of Christian Nationalism in the United States.

 

This episode serves as both a moral imperative and clear call to action, this episode provides vital context and concrete steps for engagement. Join us for this crucial dialogue that bridges faith, justice, and active solidarity with Palestinians, while exploring how Christians can effectively advocate for peace and human dignity.

 

This conversation serves as both a call to understanding and a pathway to action, offering listeners practical guidance on how to connect with Christians for a Free Palestine and raise their voices against injustice.
