SEASON 4, EPISODE 6
Welcome to Backstage with Randy Phillips - a lighthearted dialogue meant to inspire every heart and home to live a life of purpose.
What is life really like for a Christian pastor in Jerusalem today? In this powerful Backstage conversation, Texan-raised Pastor Chad Holland (leader of King of Kings Community) pulls back the curtain on raising kids under rocket fire, facing real persecution from Orthodox groups, and pastoring in a nation where 70% are secular and only 0.2% know Yeshua as Messiah. From mandatory military draft at 18 to sharing Jesus with both secular and ultra-Orthodox Jews, Chad’s raw stories of faith, courage, and hope will challenge your view of Israel, deepen your prayer life, and remind you that God is still moving powerfully in the Holy Land. If you’ve ever wondered how to pray for Israel with understanding, need fresh fire for your own faith in hard places, or long to see revival, this episode is for you.
