Thanks. Thanks for having me, Ben.

Yeah, that's correct. It's called October 7th Coalition, or as we call it, 07C. And it was born out of my dismay at seeing a lack of response on the part of Christians to what happened on October 7th. We saw a huge response from all the pro-Hamas people in major cities and on campuses across the country, which were incredibly well-financed, well-organized groups.

It's interesting that on October 8th, suddenly everyone had printed signs. Everyone had a keffiyeh. I mean, it clearly was planned prior to October 7th. So that's something interesting to look into. But at any rate, I was outraged and I just thought I would see our whole country up in arms as to what had happened. And it was crickets.

I live in Nashville, and I know many, many people here have been to Israel a number of times. I know they support Israel, so I was confused as to why there wasn't any more of an outpouring. I think as far as churches go, I think pastors are afraid it's too political. They don't want to be seen as anti-Muslim. But I don't think that's a strong enough excuse.

There's something going on here that's not about Muslims, it's about radical Islam. And I think you should be able to speak up against it, just like a few pastors did during World War II, who spoke up against the Nazis. And again, there were only a few that also did that. So I guess it's not a surprise.

But we put the October 7th Coalition together to try to activate Christians to be visibly and vocally supportive of the Jewish people, of Israel's right to exist, and to fight antisemitism. And we started right here in Nashville, reaching out to the Jewish Federation and to all the rabbis and Jewish leaders sent a letter of support.

We did a unity dinner with 250 Christian pastors and leaders to just say we're here and to just get to know each other. That's part of the thing. A lot of people will go to Israel, say, I love Israel. They'll come back. They don't know any Jewish people in their hometown. So I think it's really important now that we see that this
