Life is filled with enigmas, those unanswerable questions that have long since been left for poets and philosophers to decipher for us. In his letter to the church in Corinth, the apostle Paul actually puts three of these enigmas; together in one verse: “So now faith, hope, and love abide, these three; but the greatest of these is love” (1 Cor. 13:13). But what exactly is love? Mankind has tried for millennia to define it. Even the experience of it, however, has somehow left men scratching their heads as they try to explain exactly what “it” is. What about faith? How do you explain a life-governing belief that is sometimes without any evidence at all and certainly without proof? And that brings us to hope.

I called Jerusalem home for four years, and Israel still holds a dear place in my heart. I vividly remember the morning of October 7, waking up in Eastern Europe to multiple notifications of terrorists infiltrating Israel and rampaging.
Now I am watching as the Western world seems to have run amok with anti-Israel hatred spewing out into riots and protests—blatant anti-Semitism, hatred and violence.
But I hail from the tobacco fields of North Carolina—a relatively conservative corner of what is known as the “Bible belt” of the US. I watched the protests and the hatred spewing out of Columbia University and the University of California, Los Angeles (UCLA), and I remember thinking, “At least none of this is happening in my hometown.” A few days later I saw a video of the Palestinian flag waving on the flagpole at the University of North Carolina (UNC), just an hour from where I grew up.
In my mind, anti-Semitism is always a faraway problem. But it’s not, and at the rate it’s spreading—particularly after October 7—this poison is creeping into everyone’s backyards.
