Speak To The Heart Of Jerusalem with Candyce Hyslip

Do you feel worn down? There’s lots of places and opportunities to feel it? The politics, the divisions, the world situation, the wars, the rumors of wars, the devastation and hatred we see on every screen we face - it’s all there. In this episode, Matt & Marilee Davis sit down with Candyce Hyslip to look into the recent turmoil in Israel following the Hamas attacks and the distressing rise of anti-Semitism. What does it look like to pray and the significance of being physically and emotionally present for those enduring suffering. The truth is, two months into the war in Israel, it’s easy to desensitize, disconnect, and disengage. Candyce talks through how the Lord revealed to her how to not only pray FOR, but pray WITH those who are suffering, but also to bring comfort through our words, gifts, and meals. Key Takeaways: Embracing the Power of Prayer: The importance of finding solace in prayer, particularly in times of crisis. Candyce’s personal story about her dream leading her to Hebrews 13, offers a poignant example of how scripture can guide our prayers. Bring Comfort: How do we extend compassion to the Jewish community? It focuses on offering words of comfort, hospitable gestures, and thoughtful gifts to those impacted by the turmoil. Combating Anti-Semitism with Compassion: Simple acts of kindness and hospitality can be powerful tools in the fight against anti-Semitism. Creating spaces and sharing meals are highlighted as meaningful ways to support and heal. A Call to the Church: How can the church actively demonstrate their love for Jewish people and Israel. As anti-Semitism rises, the need for support and solidarity becomes more critical. The episode, ”Speak To The Heart Of Jerusalem,” is a reminder of the power of compassion, prayer, and solidarity in times of conflict. It calls on us all to step beyond our comfort zones and actively support those who are suffering, particularly in the Jewish community.
