Journey to Israel: Faith, Culture, and Coexistence in Jerusalem
Episode 294
Wednesday, 11 February, 2026
In this interview episode of Youth Worker on Fire, Doug Edwards sits down with Eli, a Jerusalem-based tour guide fluent in English, Hebrew, and Aramaic, for a thoughtful and wide-ranging conversation about faith, culture, history, law, grace, and life in modern Israel. Recorded at the end of a leadership journey through Israel, this conversation moves beyond headlines and into deeper questions about: • Growing up Jewish in Israel • Military service as a character builder • Responsibility, leadership, and cultural identity • Law versus grace in Jewish and Christian traditions • The historical roots of biblical law • Why Jerusalem is more than a city of conflict • Coexistence among Jews, Christians, and Muslims • What Western democracies and Israel share in common Eli shares wisdom from Jewish tradition, reflections on the Ten Commandments and the Sermon on the Mount, and insights into how faith, accountability, and mercy intersect in both Judaism and Christianity. This episode is especially valuable for: ✔ Youth pastors teaching students about worldview ✔ Ministry leaders navigating cultural conversations ✔ Christian educators discussing law and grace ✔ Parents helping students process global events ✔ Anyone seeking thoughtful dialogue instead of polarization This is not a political episode. It is a conversation about culture, responsibility, coexistence, and the values that shape democratic societies. ✨ Sometimes the best way to disciple students is not to tell them what to think — but to let them hear someone else's story and wrestle with it thoughtfully. _________________________________________________________________________________ 📬 Stay connected: Email: youthworkeronfire@gmail.com Rate ★★★★★ & share with youth workers who dream big for the Kingdom.
