Love Your Enemies Better through Knowing the Biblical Land (Danielle Parish)
Episode Summary
The Jewish and Christian faiths exist because of the events that happened in a particular place and time. To understand biblical texts—including how to love your enemies—we should learn something about the places where the events they describe occurred. Danielle Parish, pastor of Spark Church in Palo Alto, CA, who leads study tours in Israel, discusses the importance of the biblical land and how enjoying creation as “guardians of the Garden” can deepen our knowledge of Scripture.
