On October 4, 1997, the world witnessed an event unprecedented in our nation’s history.
Hundreds of thousands of men–some say as many as three million–descended on Washington, D.C., and gathered on the National Mall. For six hours, these men prayed for their nation. They prayed for their families. They confessed their sins. They prayed that God would act mightily in their lives, and that they would have the courage to stand in the gap.
This incredible event was known as “Stand in the Gap,” and in honor of its 25th anniversary, we’re producing a new documentary looking back at the day the lives of thousands of men were changed forever.
It’s time to share Stand in the Gap with the next generation. This documentary does just that.
The 25th Stand in the Gap Anniversary Documentary will air worldwide on October 4, and you’ll be able to watch it online–for free. Sign up today to watch the documentary when it launches.

![Gene Getz on Reaching the Other Side of Illness and Depression
When COVID-19 threatened to take his life, Gene Getz did not give up. Instead, he allowed the experience to renew his relationship with his family and friends and to remind others that God is always faithful.
Gene Getz, author of The Measure of a Man, is director for the Center for Church Renewal and is pastor of Fellowship Bible Church, Plano, Texas. He is also an adjunct professor in pastoral studies at Dallas Theological Seminary.
In this episode, Gene and Ken talk about Gene’s bout with COVID-19 and how in the midst of hardship and depression, it is important to seek out and recognize God’s faithfulness. Ken and Gene also discuss The Measure of a Man turning 50 and how it has impacted lives all over the globe for the last half-century.
“We can be thankful in all things that God hasnt forsaken us… Im not sure Im in a position to say, ‘Lord, I just thank you for giving me this horrible COVID experience.’ But Im thankful that he hasnt forsaken me. Hes given me a new appreciation of my family. A new appreciation of prayer, a new appreciation of humility.” - Gene Getz
“Anywhere in the world that you go – the heart of Africa, to the heart of India, to the heart of China, the qualities [in The Measure of a Man] are a reflection of Jesus Christ. And thats why its never gone out of print, because those qualities are super cultural.” - Gene Getz
