What does it really look like for Christians to stand with Israel and the Jewish people—and to do so in a way that is biblically grounded and relationally meaningful?

In this episode of the Bridge Builders Forum, we sit down with Shelley Neese to explore how Scripture—especially the biblical prophets—can shape how Christians think about Israel, the Jewish people, and walking faithfully today.

Shelley serves as the coordinator for American Christian Leaders for Israel and leads The Jerusalem Connection, where she helps Christians engage these questions thoughtfully and responsibly. She is also the author of Bible Fiber, an accessible and deeply insightful guide to the Minor Prophets (the Trei Asar, or “Twelve”).

In our conversation, we discuss:

Why many Christians feel drawn to support Israel—but aren’t always sure how
The role of Christian leaders and organizations in shaping that engagement
Common misunderstandings Christians have about Israel and the Jewish people
Why the prophets are often misread—and what they were actually doing in their own time
How the message of the prophets remains deeply relevant today
Practical ways anyone can begin building meaningful relationships with the Jewish people

If you’ve ever wondered how your understanding of the Bible connects to real-world relationships between Jews and Christians, this is a conversation you won’t want to miss.
