Israel vs Iran - Inside the First 24 Hours // Caught Between War and Prayer: My Honest Israel Update

About this sermon

I’m recording this from inside Jerusalem—far from my usual studio—surrounded by sirens and bomb shelters. When Operation Rising Lion launched early at 3:30 a.m. on June 13, alarms blared and bunkers became home. Through this raw frontline update, I share what it’s like to live under fire—not as a journalist or politician, but as a faith leader who loves humanity and prays for peace. Over the past 32 years, I’ve journeyed through Israel and its neighboring nations, always seeking perspective. Now, I’m witnessing a brutal escalation between Israel and Iran. We saw airstrikes hit Iran’s nuclear and military infrastructure, followed by Iran’s relentless barrage of over 150 missiles and 100 drones raining down on Israeli cities—including Tel Aviv and Jerusalem. Despite it all, amidst devastation, we saw miracles: the Iron Dome—supported by the U.S.—destroyed nearly every incoming threat. Through interviews with a top Palestinian leader and firsthand accounts in Jerusalem, I strive to bring an unbiased, human story. It’s a tale of fear, faith, resilience—and the urgent need to pray for peace. I invite you to listen closely, share the truth, and hold this region in your heart and prayers, week by week, as we stand together for hope and healing. 00:00 – Fleeing to bomb shelters with missile warnings 00:45 – Who I Am: 32 years in the region—faith, not politics 02:00 –  Iran’s Nuclear Threat: UN admits Iran broke nuclear deal 05:00 – Surviving the Storm: Iron Dome success, but civilian casualties 07:00 – Human Side: Interview with a Palestinian leader & call for peace Follow me on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/robertrstearns/ Follow me on Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/robertrstearns/ Don't forget to PUSH THE BELL to get NOTIFICATIONS of new and upcoming videos.
