I was in Jerusalem talking with Israeli Special Patrol Unit (YASAM) officers. They’d be the equivalent of our SWAT in the US. It was a great conversation. Before I left from the US, City of Mobile police officer Trey Powell asked me to try to get an Israeli police patch for him. I bought him a hat from a shop…and kept moving with a full schedule and kind of gave up on the idea that I would get a patch.

Seeing strands of antisemitism creep into parts of the Christian church. Social media posts, comments, even sermons that twist Scripture to justify hatred toward Jewish people. Friends, let me say this as plainly as I can: Antisemitism is completely incompatible with following Jesus. Period.
