🎙 In This Episode of the 2 Worlds Collide Podcast, I sit down with Charlie Bakhos for a deep, unfiltered conversation on faith, conflict, and the narratives shaping what the world sees and what it ignores. Charlie is a man of faith and commentator who isn’t afraid to speak openly about uncomfortable truths. In this episode, we unpack the Israel–Palestine conflict, the way it’s framed in mainstream media, and why certain realities are either distorted or completely left out of the conversation. We also dive into a topic rarely spoken about: the persecution of Christians around the world, why it receives little media attention, who it affects, and what’s actually happening beyond the headlines. At the centre of it all is Charlie’s faith, how it shapes his worldview, why he refuses to stay silent, and what it means to stand firm when holding these views comes at a cost. This episode isn’t safe. It isn’t sanitised. It’s an honest conversation about truth, belief, and the courage to speak when silence is easier. 🧭 In This Episode We Cover: 🇮🇱🇵🇸 The Israel–Palestine situation beyond the headlines 📰 Media narratives and selective outrage ✝️ Why Christian persecution is rarely discussed 🌍 What’s happening to Christians globally 🙏 Charlie’s faith and why it matters now more than ever ⚖️ Speaking truth in a world that rewards conformity 📌 Timestamps for Easy Navigation: 0:00 – Intro 06:45 – Charlie’s background & faith journey 18:30 – Israel–Palestine: context vs media framing 37:10 – Global Christian persecution 55:40 – Faith, backlash, and standing firm 1:12:00 – Final reflections 💥 Support independent voices 🧢 Merch: www.2worldscollide.com.au/category/all-products 🤝 Join Patreon: www.2worldscollide.com.au/s-projects-side-by-side 📺 Stay Connected: YouTube: @2worldscollide Instagram: @2worldscollidepodcast X: @2worldsPodcast Website: www.2worldscollide.com.au 🔖 Follow the conversation: #CharlieBakhos #2WorldsCollide #FaithAndTruth #IsraelPalestine #ChristianPersecution #IndependentVoices #MediaNarratives #FreeSpeech #FaithInPublic
