When Christian Support for Israel Comes Under Attack — with Luke Moon of The Philos Project
There’s a growing shift in parts of the Christian world — a movement questioning Christian support for Israel and even the value of the Jewish-Christian relationship itself.
Why is this happening? What ideas are driving it? And why does it matter for the future of Christian engagement with Israel and the Jewish people?
In this episode, Ryan Lambert is joined by Luke Moon, Executive Director of The Philos Project, a Christian organization that equips believers to engage the Near East with faith, integrity, and understanding. Luke recently wrote a widely shared article in The Christian Post responding to Tucker Carlson’s critique of Christian Zionism — arguing that attacks on Christian support for Israel are really attacks on the moral alliance between Christians and Jews.
Together, Ryan and Luke explore:
What “Christian Zionism” actually means (and what it doesn’t)
Why the Jewish-Christian alliance is essential to Western moral and spiritual life
How political narratives are driving new divisions among believers
The Philos Project’s groundbreaking partnerships — including its Hebraic Studies program at Yeshiva University
How Christians can build principled, practical relationships with both Jews and Muslims
And simple, faithful steps believers can take to strengthen these bridges today
If you care about the relationship between Jews and Christians and want to understand how ideas shape that relationship, this conversation is for you.
