Responding to the Rise in Antisemitism

On this week’s new episode of her Fearless podcast, Cissie Graham Lynch welcomes Israeli Messianic pastor Samuel Smadja to talk about the recent rise in antisemitism and why Christians should stand with Israel now more than ever.

Together, the two unpack why some believers have adopted the idea of replacement theology—that God’s original promises to Israel no longer apply to the nation but to the church—and how this belief isn’t just incorrect, but dangerous.

“I think it’s very obvious when you read Scripture, God loved Israel,” Lynch said. “And if He still loves them so much, then we need to know why. We need to know His Word and study it and not follow some conservative voices and social media influencers.”

Smadja also shares his experiences living through the Oct. 7, 2023, attacks, the miracles he witnessed on the ground that day, and in the years since.

Join them for this conversation that will bring truth and clarity to a topic that should unite—not divide—Christians everywhere. And pray for Israel and people like Smadja who are working to take the Good News of the Messiah to His chosen people.
