Pastor Joe Hufstetler just connected deeply with the land and people of Israel. As Senior Pastor of Destination Church in Valrico, Florida, he has prayed for and supported Israel and the Jewish people for many years. That’s why he was eager to accept an invitation to be part of the Ambassador Summit 2025 in Israel as a guest of Friends of Zion and the Government of Israel. In this three-part interview, Joe shares what he learned in that intense week in the Promised Land, and what that experience has inspired him to do.
Since the Hamas invasion of October 7, 2023, Israel and Jewish communities worldwide have endured a season of great darkness. Is there a redemptive purpose behind that? Barry Phillips and David Jones explore that question in their midrash, “Darkness.” As they share, and as we hear in the music of Teshuva, this has much to do with God’s promise of resurrection.
