How do you help students understand prophecy and the end times—without overwhelming them?

In this unique episode of Youth Worker on Fire, Doug Edwards joins us from Israel, where he and 1,000 pastors, youth pastors, Christian educators, and influencers were invited to gather for the historic Ambassadors Summit 2025. Doug explains why blessing Israel matters, why Scripture repeatedly points us back to God's promises over His people, and how these truths deeply impact the next generation.

Drawing from his own middle-school experience learning about the book of Revelation, Doug shares how teaching students about Daniel, Matthew 23, Luke 21, and the book of Revelation shaped his early faith journey—and why students are NOT too young to learn about these biblical foundations.

In this episode, Doug unpacks:

✅ Why Christians are called to bless Israel ✅ The biblical pattern: those who bless Israel are blessed ✅ How Balaam tried to curse Israel—and why God didn't allow it ✅ What the Bible says about end times and modern events ✅ Why youth ministries must not avoid prophecy ✅ How teaching end-times Scripture can lead students to salvation ✅ What the Ambassadors Summit 2025 means for global ministry

You'll also hear how Doug's own salvation story was connected to learning about prophecy—and why your middle schoolers and high schoolers are ready for these conversations too.

This episode equips: • Youth pastors needing biblical clarity • Volunteers wanting confidence in hard topics • Parents wanting to disciple their students • Anyone trying to understand Israel's place in Scripture

If you've ever wondered how to introduce students to end-times teaching in a way that is biblically sound, age-appropriate, and spiritually transformational—this episode will guide you.
