By Harper Collins ·
A three-year anniversary of the October 7 terrorist attack in Israel marks a new episode of the radio program Equipped with Chris Brooks.
The attack stands as the deadliest in the nation’s history. The show, which airs weekdays at noon Central Time, uses this date to examine how global perceptions of Israel have evolved since that day.
Guest Dr. Michael Rydelnik leads the discussion. He serves as Professor Emeritus of Jewish Studies and Bible at Moody Bible Institute. He also teaches the Bible on Moody Radio's Open Line, a segment heard on more than 300 stations across the country.
Rydelnik was raised in an observant Jewish home in Brooklyn, New York, by Holocaust survivors. He became a follower of Jesus during high school. His work includes authoring several books and co-editing The Moody Bible Commentary.
The host, Chris Brooks, is the senior pastor of Woodside Bible Church, a multisite congregation in the Detroit metropolitan area. Previously, he served for 20 years as senior pastor of Evangel Ministries in Detroit. That congregation had 1,600 members. Brooks also worked as campus dean at Moody Theological Seminary in Plymouth, Michigan.
Brooks has hosted a radio show in Detroit since 2005. He holds a Bachelor of Arts in Finance from Michigan State University and a Master of Arts in Christian Apologetics from Biola University. He is currently pursuing a Doctor of Ministry degree at Asbury Theological Seminary. He and his wife, Yodit, have six children.
The episode features the book How Should Christians Think About Israel? by Rydelnik. The program is produced by Moody Global Media and Moody Bible Institute. It is described as a live, one-hour show that encourages critical thinking and community compassion.
