A powerful, honest conversation with Reverend Dr. E. Dewey Smith Jr. on 38 years of ministry, the grief and depression that nearly broke him, and the calling he could never escape.

Pastor Smith opens up about life behind the pulpit, the personal cost of carrying a public assignment, and what it really takes to stay authentic in a world that rewards imitation. Along the way, he shares his philosophy on preaching as communication, the creative risks he takes to reach every kind of audience, and why being impactful matters more than being impressive.

A conversation about calling, communication, and the cost of being authentic.

There has been a lot of discussion recently about war in the Middle East, America's involvement, and the role of faith in how Christians respond to it. Many believers have been taught that Christians must support Israel because of the Bible. But is that what Scripture actually teaches? In this message, we explore an important distinction that many people overlook — the difference between the biblical nation of Israel and the modern state of Israel. We also examine how theology, politics, and history intersect in shaping how many Christians think about the conflict in the Middle East. This conversation challenges us to think deeply about faith, war, and what it truly means to follow the teachings of Jesus in a complicated world.

👉 Do Christians have a biblical obligation to support Israel?

👉 Should theology influence modern politics?
