EPISODE 0350 | The Theology of War: Why Psalm 83 Reads Like Today’s Headlines

How do people of faith make sense of war when we are called to pursue peace? In this special episode, Rabbi Pesach Wolicki takes a deep dive into Psalm 83 to explore what the Bible teaches about recognizing evil, understanding the purpose of war, and knowing when the moment calls for peace—and when it calls for a fight. Drawing from Israel’s history, biblical prophecy, and the ongoing war following October 7, Rabbi Wolicki challenges believers to understand what is at stake spiritually when Israel is attacked. His son, Israeli combat reservist Meir Wolicki, then brings the conversation home with a powerful reminder: faith isn’t something we leave behind when life gets hard—it’s what carries us through the battle.
