Are young evangelicals becoming indifferent to Israel? In this episode of Inside the Epicenter, we delve into a revealing study by Dr. Kirill Bumin and Dr. Motti Inbari that uncovers a concerning trend of declining Christian support for Israel, particularly among the younger generation of evangelicals. Research-minded guests join host Joel Rosenberg and cohost Lynn Rosenberg to explore this shift's complexities. As we navigate through recent political developments between Israel, Hamas, and the United States, we also tackle the generational divide in political ideology, social justice concerns, and theological perspectives that influence support for Israel. Whether discussing the emotional impact of modern media consumption or the disconnect between older and younger evangelicals' views, this episode offers an in-depth analysis and invites listeners to reflect on the changing dynamics of Christian Zionism in the 21st century.
