Today on Karl and Crew Mornings, we discussed the latest developments on the Israel-Hamas conflict. As we hear the term "genocide" used often in the news lately, it is important to recognize what that term really means. Our special guest was Franklin Graham. He is the President and CEO of The Billy Graham Evangelistic Association as well as the President of Samaritan's Purse. He shared some exciting news about a brand new Samaritan's Purse Ministry Center in Aurora, Illinois. Finally, we talked about the upcoming holiday, and we asked the Boom Crew to share things they had never thanked God for. Gratitude has no downside! Check out the highlights of today's program on the Karl and Crew Showcast.

He is the host of the weekly “For Leaders Podcast with Ronnie Floyd” and the author of “The Supernatural Power of Prayer and Fasting: 12 Ways God Will Change Your Life – Live a Righteous and Fulfilled Life.” Daniel Darling also joined us to discuss how the story of Holy Week reveals Jesus as the true hero and what His sacrifice means for us today.
