Rethinking Israel, Palestine, and the Faith That Formed Us

Episode 1- Erna's Story

Erna Kim Hackett Season 1 Episode 1

In this first episode, Erna shares her story of confusion, defensiveness, and awakening—how she came to see that her beliefs about Israel and Palestine were shaped by assumptions she had never thought to question. Her honesty opens space for all of us to name our own uncertainty and begin untangling what we’ve been taught from what is true.

Rather than offering answers, this episode invites listeners into learning, tension, and humility—exploring what happens when our theology collides with our sense of justice, and how that collision can be a catalyst for growth.
