The Israeli-Palestinian conflict is one of the most polarizing issues of our time. But what if there was a way to discuss it with biblical clarity, human compassion, and moral courage?
In this timely and powerful episode of the Bridge Builders Forum, Ryan sits down with Justin Kron — founder of The Kesher Project and co-producer of the award-winning film Hope in the Holy Land.
They explore:
* How the events of October 7th have reshaped the conversation about Israel.
* Why some Christians have adopted an anti-Zionist theology.
* What the slogans “Free Palestine” and accusations of genocide really mean.
* How Jews and Christians can work together to pursue truth, justice, and hope — in Israel and in their own communities
Justin also shares about his soon-to-be-released documentary October 7: Bearing Witness to the Massacre, a gripping film that captures the human toll of that tragic day.
This conversation cuts through the noise. It’s not about taking sides. It’s about building bridges — grounded in faith, shaped by truth, and driven by hope.

Cardiac Cowboys
The heart was always off-limits to surgeons. Cutting into it spelled instant death for the patient. That is, until a ragtag group of doctors scattered across the Midwest and Texas decided to throw out the rule book. Working in makeshift laboratories and home garages, using medical devices made from scavenged machine parts and beer tubes, these men and women invented the field of open heart surgery. Odds are, someone you know is alive because of them. So why has history left them behind? Presented by Chris Pine, CARDIAC COWBOYS tells the gripping true story behind the birth of heart surgery, and the young, Greatest Generation doctors who made it happen. For years, they competed and feuded, racing to be the first, the best, and the most prolific. Some appeared on the cover of Time Magazine, operated on kings and advised presidents. Others ended up disgraced, penniless, and convicted of felonies. Together, they ignited a revolution in medicine, and changed the world.
