My interview with Joel C. Rosenberg at the Epicenter Conference 2010

Wow, what a weekend! I just arrived back in Toronto after heading to Philadelphia, Pennsylvania for the Epicenter Conference 2010, hosted by Joel C. Rosenberg, the American New York Times Best-Selling author and speaker.

On Friday afternoon I had the incredible privilege to interview Mr. Rosenberg for over half an hour for an article set to appear in Evangelical Christian magazine later this summer.

In the interview, we discussed the Iranian nuclear threat, Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad's apocalyptic beliefs, Canada's relationship with Israel and Joel's work with The Joshua Fund, his non-profit charitable organization operating in Israel.

It was such a blessing and an honour to meet and interview Joel Rosenberg, as I have been reading his work for a number of years and highly regard his insights into current events. Joel was an advisor to current Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu in the late 1990's, and has worked for a number of other high public profile figures both in Washington and Jerusalem.

The Epicenter Conference itself was a moving experience, highlighted by the key-note address of current Israeli Vice Prime Minister Moshe Yaalon. Mr. Yaalon offered amazing perspectives from inside the Israeli government on how Israel views the world and the threats facing the Jewish State. His remarks were a truly moving reminder of Israel's hostile circumstances.

I will be posting the full text of my interview with Joel Rosenberg later this week, as well as the accompanying article for Evangelical Christian magazine later this month.
