Today, on Karl and Crew, we continued our weekly theme, “Sticking with it when,” others say walk away. Dr. Sharen Ford joined us to explain what foster care is often misunderstood, why children in foster care need safe and loving families, and how the church can step in to help. Dr. Ford serves as the Director for Foster Care and Adoption at Focus on the Family, committed to raising awareness regarding the need for every child to have a quality family. We then had Vikki Rose join us. She is the Author of “Every Reason to Leave,” which shares how God met her in a broken marriage, changed both her and her husband, and gave them the grace to stay together. We also had Dr. Hormoz Shariat join us to share why many Iranians still long for regime change, how Christians are suffering under intense pressure, and how the gospel continues to spread in Iran. Dr. Shariat is the Founder and President of Iran Alive Ministries (IAM), which uses satellite broadcasting and the internet to share the gospel with Iranians. You can hear the highlights of today’s program on the Karl and Crew Showcast.
