How to Think About Israel Without Losing Your Mind

This episode kicks off a new series called “Israel, the Church, and God’s Promises.” Bryan Catherman and Josiah Walker want to work out a series of questions for their own exploration of how Israel relates to the church and much more. What do we mean by biblical Israel, ethnic Israel, covenant Israel, remnant Israel, the church, and modern Israel? Why does this subject become such a distraction in church life, and why do so many Christians feel like they’re one wrong sentence away from being called pro-Israel, anti-Israel, or liberal? What does the Bible say? How might we think about this? What does this matter? This is the introduction to a 9-week series on this topic. Copyright 2026.
