Culture & Christianity: The Allen Jackson Podcast

Is anti-Zionism simply antisemitism in disguise? In this episode, Pastor Allen and Israeli Pastor Samuel Smadja explore how anti-Zionism (often viewed as political or cultural) is deeply spiritual, and it mirrors something seen throughout history: a supernatural hatred for the Jewish people. The language may have changed, but the spirit behind it has not. The Jewish people are living evidence that God is who He says He is, and His Word is true. Scattered, persecuted, and regathered—Israel's survival is more than historical. It’s prophetic. The same spirit that hates the Jews also hates the Church, and we need to learn to recognize that spirit so we're prepared for what's ahead.—"Simple Man" by Charlie Daniels - UMPG License #262673It’s up to us to bring God’s truth back into our culture.

In this episode, Pastor Allen confronts the silence surrounding one of the most chilling scandals of our time. The Epstein case wasn’t just about one man—it was a doorway into a network of wealth, power, and corruption that reaches into the highest levels of government, media, and global influence. He explores unsettling questions such as: Is there a connection between Epstein's client list and the State of Israel? What is Israel’s true significance—not just politically, but biblically, prophetically, and culturally? Why does this one nation remain at the center of so many global conflicts, conspiracies, and spiritual battles? Someone is working hard to keep the truth buried, but God's Word says, “There is nothing secret that will not be known and come to light” (Luke 8:17).__ "Simple Man" by Charlie Daniels - UMPG License #262673It’s up to us to bring God’s truth back into our culture.
