Summary

In these challenging times, we’ve closely followed the distressing events in Israel and the ongoing conflict in Gaza, which has unfortunately spread. Today I get to catch up with an inspiring individual and dear friend, Moshe, who finds himself in an area that has captured the worlds attention. Moshe has dedicated himself to showcasing the beauty of his region to Christians worldwide via hosting tours of the Holy Land. Having served in the army and now called to the North end, he is currently a reservist in charge of security, stationed just three miles from the Syrian border. Moshe shares his feelings about the current situations in his region and reflects on how his faith and hope remains steadfast during the challenges of processing this level of adversity.  Tune in for a sweet message from one friend to another.

0:14.8	all of us as we've tracked the difficulties that have gone on in Israel and the conflict
0:22.1	in Gaza and as it spreads, perhaps in Lebanon and Syria. And I have a friend and a special guest,
0:30.4	Moshe with us. And Moshe, will you just introduce yourself to the friends here? We were actually
0:37.3	supposed to be together today, like we're supposed to be standing in Jerusalem today. Then the whole
0:44.5	sock jar got thrown on the floor. Tell us about who you are and how you fit into the greater scheme
