Description: Violence in the Middle East has been increasing for several weeks. ISIS is committing unimaginable acts of persecution against Christians and other groups. Israel recently pulled most of its troops out of Gaza after a month long invasion and the two have been exchanging missile fire for weeks. Several ceasefires between Israel and Hamas have done little to establish peace. What does all this violence mean for Christians? How does it impact us and our Jewish brethren? Steve Ray, renowned guide and historian of the Middle East, joins the show to discuss.
