J.D. Greear and Joel Rosenberg on Revelation and the Church/Inside the Epicenter Explores Biblical Promises and Modern Realities/Replacement Theology, Israel, and the Church
Welcome to Inside the Epicenter! In this episode, host Joel Rosenberg welcomes J.D. Greear, influential pastor and former Southern Baptist Convention president, to discuss whether God is finished with Israel and what that means for the church today. Together, they dive into the theological debate around replacement theology and explore how the Bible points to a future for ethnic Israel, especially through the lens of Revelation. J.D. shares his approach to teaching prophecy and the importance of loving both Israel and her neighbors, including Muslims, while Joel presses on how these beliefs shape ministry, missions, and compassion in a time of conflict. With practical insights for pastors, young evangelicals, and anyone wrestling with these big questions, this episode sheds fresh light on prophecy, mission, and the church’s role in blessing the Epicenter. Stay tuned for engaging perspectives and stories you won’t want to miss!

Verse of the Day: Genesis 12:1-3 - Now the Lord said to Abram, “Go from your country and your kindred and your father’s house to the land that I will show you. And I will make of you a great nation, and I will bless you and make your name great, so that you will be a blessing. I will bless those who bless you, and him who dishonors you I will curse, and pin you all the families of the earth shall be blessed.

Pray for the refreshment of the pastors and the ministry leaders who have been serving so faithfully in very hard times, and they're exhausted and they're going through grief.
Pray for us as we minister to the ministers, and that God open financial doors.
