Episode 418 – Is Zionism Biblical? with Chris Todd and Jacob Winograd

August 8, 2025
Libertarian Christian Podcast

Cody Cook sits down with Jacob Winograd, host of the Biblical Anarchy Podcast, and Chris Todd, a missionary in the Middle East, to discuss the Israel-Palestine conflict through a Christian lens. Todd shares his work providing trauma therapy to war-affected individuals in Lebanon, highlighting the human toll of conflict. The trio critiques the evangelical tendency to unconditionally support Israel, with Todd emphasizing a “Team Jesus” approach that advocates for peace over violence. They explore historical and ongoing violence, referencing Israel’s actions since 1948 and the blowback it has incited. Theologically, they contrast dispensationalism, which ties support for Israel to end-times prophecy, with covenant theology, which sees God’s promises fulfilled in Christ. Addressing rising anti-semitism, they stress disentangling Jewish identity from Israel’s policies to foster peace and reduce prejudice.
