“A Long and Torturous Journey”
This painfully describes the journey of the Jewish people. From the destruction of the Temple, and Jerusalem in 70 AD, the journey has been brutal. Perry first asks Middle East expert Charlie Dyer:
“What happened with the Jews between Jerusalem’s destruction by the Romans in 70 AD and their restoration to the land in 1948?” It’s a profound flyover of that long and torturous journey.
Dr. Charlie Dyer, Middle East scholar at Moody Bible institute and the host of The Land and the Book on Moody Radio has authored a ton of books including an revised version of Who Owns the Land—An In-Depth Look at the Truth Behind the Middle East Conflict.
Shawna then asks, “Why should we expect non-believers to accept God’s promise of the land to Israel?”
Also we hear the story of a Messianic Jew knocking on the door of an Arab Muslim in Tel Aviv who was so hungry to know about Jesus. Pointing to the ultimate hope for the Middle East: The gospel!
And Perry asks Charlie, “If you had the power to make a decision tomorrow about who owns the land and where Jews should live and where Palestinians should live, what would you do?”
Though his answer puts Israel in her land because of God’s promises, it doesn’t include driving out all non-Jews. An answer we actually find in the earlies pages of the bible.

Shawna Beyer
Shawna Beyer has a way of telling stories that create personal connection— to her, to one another, and to God. She has been a homeschool mom, church planter, project lead for a consulting company, and church staff member. Though she’s been involved in ministry with her husband (Dan) in Iowa, Arizona, and now Michigan, she was born and raised in Southern California and as they say, “You can take the girl out of California . . .” She is mom to four grown kids (Bryn, Drayson, Eden, and Haven) who no longer need her but humor her anyway. Shawna is passionate about the rhythms we weave into the fabric of our lives to fall more in love with God each day. Healthy foods are her go-to, but she will abandon that whole track in a heartbeat for a homemade cinnamon roll like Grandma used to make.
