 Today on Stand in the Gap, we want to take a quick trip around the globe and gain a snapshot on history and some major events in the news. To be with me today is a new friend to our program. Dr. Ed Hardesty has taught for 30 years at Karen University, has advanced degrees in Jewish studies. He served in the military, and he has a unique take on what's happening in today's news. Ed, welcome to Stand in the Gap.
