This is the 8th episode of Ask Dr. E and we are loving your questions!
Today, Dr. E answers questions about salvation for people groups other than the Israelites in ancient times, what happens when people – specifically well-known evangelical leaders – denounce their faith, conflict in Israel and ways to prepare to travel there, calvinism, and what Christ really did between His death and resurrection.
Questions & Answers:

- Joshua 2:1-24
- Hebrews 11:31

I have a question regarding the Israel trips. One of my hesitations is that I feel like I’m still so ignorant about the conflict and the situation over there, and I just wanted to know if you could summarize everything at a middle school level, simplify it, and discuss that or share books you’d recommend before someone does that trip.
