  <title>Why Youth Pastors Must Understand Israel: A Biblical Worldview Conversation</title>
  <description>In this episode of Youth Worker on Fire, Doug Edwards sits down with Doug Holliday, global disciple-making leader and Executive Director of Sonlife, for a powerful conversation about Israel, youth ministry, and the next generation’s worldview. After traveling together to Israel, they reflect on: • Why ministry leaders chose to go despite global tension • What they witnessed at the Nova Festival site and memorials • How media narratives shape the next generation’s thinking • Why so many students don’t understand the history of Israel • The difference between soundbite culture and biblical context • How youth pastors can disciple students toward a biblical worldview • Why walking where Jesus walked changes how you read Scripture • The spiritual significance of Israel in end-times prophecy This episode challenges youth pastors, ministry volunteers, Christian educators, and parents to move beyond headlines and help students think deeply, historically, and biblically. In a world where social media shapes truth, youth leaders must equip students to filter culture through Scripture — not the other way around. If you care about: ✔ Disciple-making youth ministry ✔ Helping students think critically ✔ Teaching biblical worldview ✔ Navigating Israel conversations wisely ✔ Strengthening the next generation’s faith This episode is for you.  _________________________________________________________________________________ 📬&amp;amp;nbsp;Stay connected: Email:&amp;amp;nbsp;youthworkeronfire@gmail.com Rate ★★★★★ &amp;amp;amp; share with youth workers who dream big for the Kingdom.
