In this episode, William Lam, Michael Mahoney, and Brady Edwards explain why they were in Tel Aviv to create a better resolution for the world around us. In this podcast, we take the listeners on a journey to Tel Aviv, where we describe the powerful emotions evoked by the surroundings. The purpose of our visit was to assist Rabbi Curt Landry and the many players working to resolve the ongoing conflicts in the region. While some changes have been enforced through behavior, changing beliefs, values, and identity is crucial for lasting peace. We explore the concept of mirroring and the idea that projecting our inner conflicts onto the outside world can lead to further turmoil. The ongoing conflict in the world can create a sense of chaos and uncertainty within us, leading to anxiety, fear, and anger. However, we encourage listeners to let go of the past, take responsibility for their actions, and understand the power they have to make a change. By recognizing our own projections and taking responsibility for our emotions, we can break free from the cycle of negativity and tension, and find a way to release the inner conflict that may be keeping us stuck.

In this episode, William Lam has guest Rabbi Curt Landry, who stands with Israel and is a bridge of unity and restoration between Israel and the Church. About Rabbi Curt Landry: In spite of Curt Landry’s rough start and challenges in school, he grew into a very successful businessman. As the Lord worked on his heart, he put his trust in Yeshua one night and wept as he came to understand God’s heart for him and his innately sinful nature. But the Lord was only beginning to reveal to him his true identity and purpose. Identity is a revelation of why we are created and what we are created for. Those who understand and accept their true identity have the key to peace. When we know who we are, we can pull the lever of purpose, and God equips us to change lives. It is only through a process that God reveals this. This peace is what Curt wants others to experience. As Curt grew and understood his identity better, God revealed his purpose—to stand with Israel, be a voice, and bridge unity and restoration between Israel and the Church. The journey continued as officials and leaders in Israel approached him about a number of projects, namely projects to care for orphans–from infancy to adulthood.
