“And I will give you a new heart and put a new spirit into you: I will remove the heart of stone from your body and give you a heart of flesh;”
-Ezekiel 36:26 (The Israel Bible™)
Christian filmmaker Brian Sanders is wrapping up a trip to Israel from his home in Colorado. His goal for this trip is no less than transforming the perspective of the global church about Israel.
He’s here shooting a film with the ambitious title Why Stand With Israel: A Film To Change Hearts.
Sanders spoke to Breaking Israel News about how he came to see the centrality of Israel in the Bible. “In 2013, I came to Israel to cover and film President Obama’s visit here. Like many, my eyes were opened to see the Bible come to life.
I wanted to know more about Israel, so I did my own research. I turned to others whose eyes had been opened. I started to seek out and hang around like-minded [others]. I started learning more about my Hebraic roots. I started reading parsha (the weekly Torah portion read by Jews worldwide) and learning more about the [Biblical] feasts.”
