🎙️ EP#387 | GUEST | Reverand Munther Isaac: The Palestinian Pastor Shaking Up American Christianity
In this groundbreaking episode, Ray Doustdar welcomes Reverend Dr. Munther Isaac—pastor, theologian, and fearless voice from the Holy Land—for one of the most profound, eye-opening conversations in DSD history. Broadcasting from Ramallah, Munther breaks down how the theological beliefs of American Christians have a direct impact on the lives of Palestinian Christians, and why his mission is to build bridges, not burn them—even as war rages on.
Dr. Isaac shares his powerful insights into the theological misinterpretations of Genesis 12:3, exposes the political misuse of dispensationalism, and reflects deeply on the role of Christian Zionism in global injustice. His reflections on interfaith unity, the humanity behind the headlines, and the call for genuine Christian peacemaking are nothing short of transformative. Whether you're devout, doubtful, or somewhere in between, this conversation challenges you to reevaluate your understanding of faith, justice, and solidarity.
This isn’t just theology—it’s lived reality. From the checkpoints of the West Bank to Capitol Hill, from ancient scriptures to modern warfare, Reverend Isaac brings a stunning clarity to the tangled relationship between American Christian doctrine and Palestinian suffering. If you’ve ever wondered what "loving thy neighbor" really looks like when it costs everything—this is your episode.
