Pam and Megan dive into the intense world of political protests and the unique (and often missing) Christian perspective on the pro-Hamas demonstrations. Megan asks the big question, "Where are the Christian leaders who advocate for peace and conversion to Jesus as solutions to global unrest?"
Key Insights:
Understanding Protests:
Explore the complex distinctions in the global protest movements. "It's a little, simplistic to say, oh, well, most people think that Hamas is bad because for a lot of these protesters, I don't think they believe that."
Media Influence:
Find out how media portrayal can shape perceptions and the similarities this movement shares with past protests. "The way the media presents things-what we're shown, what we're told-is hard to trust these days."
The Role of Wealth and Influence:
Uncover the impact of rich and prominent individuals in orchestrating these protests. "It just came out recently, a couple days ago, that it is very clear that these protests have been backed by very prominent, rich individuals."
Christian Leadership:
Hear Megan's call to every Christian to voice their faith boldly as a response to social turmoil. "We need to be speaking into this reality. Because the thing that I am really concerned that Christians have lost to a degree now... is conversion of souls."
Join Shoulder 2 Shoulder as they seek understanding and promote a message of peace in the midst of global conflicts. Discover why Christian leaders must call for a return to faith-based values to confront and calm the storms of division and hatred.
