In this powerful and convicting episode, we dive into the urgent reality of child exploitation and human trafficking — not just overseas, but right in our own communities. Drawing on the example of Jesus and the radical story of a missionary praying for a known drug trafficker, we’re reminded that no one is beyond the reach of redemption.Romans 10:13 declares, “Everyone who calls on the name of the Lord will be saved,” and this episode unpacks what that means in the darkest of places. We challenge listeners to confront injustice with fearless faith, ask hard questions about how we live out the Gospel, and consider what it means to stand in the gap for the most vulnerable.This is more than a conversation — it’s a call to action.

As the solemn notes of Israel's Memorial Day resonate, Adam's dear friend, Aviad, an Orthodox Jew, joins us with his companions to share a tapestry of narratives that often remain unheard amidst the turmoil of the Israeli-Palestinian conflict. Their voices echo the heartache of parents mourning their son, the valor in the face of tragedy, and the unyielding connection to a land etched with historical scars. Each story unfolds the complexities of existence in a region where joy and sorrow are interwoven, shedding light on the personal dimensions of a conflict that shapes their day-to-day lives. With reverence, we explore the harrowing events of October 7th and the rich historical threads that bind the Jewish people to their ancestral home, drawing parallels to experiences of displacement and belonging worldwide.

We hear from those like Shlomo Zichel, who served in Judea and Samaria, and Gabi Harrow, who tirelessly works to support those impacted by conflict. Their accounts, along with the stories of everyday heroes and the promise of new life, paint a portrait of an Israeli society undeterred by adversity and steadfast in its hope for a harmonious future. -- Connect with our special guests: http://gush-etzion-foundation.com/en/ https://www.peach-in.com/cmp/MGsVu0vl6 peach-in.compeach-in.com Peach | Reaching Further פיצ' - רשת חברתית לתרומות והתנדבויות (8 kB) https://www.peach-in.com/cmp/MGsVu0vl6 Instagram + Facebook: https://www.instagram.com/kerengushezion?igsh=MWsxZTNlbDUyaWloYw== https://www.facebook.com/gushetzionfound?mibextid=ZbWKwL https://www.instagram.com/shlomozichel?utm_source=qr&igsh=MWlzaXVuZnlvZHBmMA== -- Don't forget to stay connected with us: Youtube https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC4OvpFp9OB9_DgVdVVbXhFg Instagram https://www.instagram.com/beyond.theletter/ Tik Tok https://www.tiktok.com/discover/beyond-the-letter -- Have a question?
