Today, on Karl and Crew, we examined the origins of the popular Christmas song "Hark! The Herald Angels Sing."  It was written by Charles Wesley, who was an English Methodist leader and hymn writer. He was inspired by the sounds of London church bells while walking to church on Christmas Day. The hymn is one of the most evangelical Christmas songs we sing! Our guest was Dr. Alex McFarland, an apologist, author, evangelist, and culture analyst. He shared that Bible sales boomed in 2024, especially for first-time buyers. The Bible is out-selling other books 22-1. We also mentioned that Moody has several Christmas specials to enjoy, including the Karl and Crew Special. You can hear the highlights of today's program on the Karl and Crew podcast.
