Welcome to Inside the Epicenter, where we explore the movement of God in Israel and her neighbors. In this special episode, recorded live on the Joshua Fund’s cruise to Alaska, we dive into how believers can begin gentle, scripture-rooted conversations about Jesus with Jewish and Muslim friends. Join guests Anne Graham Lotz, Henri Aoun, and Victor Kalisher as they share practical approaches, personal stories, and examples of how God is opening hearts, even in the most challenging circumstances. You’ll hear how God is moving through dreams, visions, and the unstoppable spread of His word across the Middle East—transforming lives and raising up new leaders in the epicenter.

Bible verse of the day:
1 Peter 3:15 - Always be prepared to give an answer to everyone who asks you to give the reason for the hope that you have. But do this with gentleness and respect

Prayer Request:
Pray for more and more believers to be willing to initiate honest scripture-rooted conversations with Jewish and Muslim friends, asking heart questions without pride or argument.
Ask the Lord to keep spreading his word more and more through print and digital channels, to meet seekers through dreams and visions, and to connect them with churches that will disciple them in the word of God.
Pray for pastors, evangelists, and the new believers in Israel, Lebanon, and Syria, all the different places that our guest talked about today. That they will stand firm, that they will shepherd wisely, and that leaders will be multiplied as God moves across the epicenter.
