Today, on Karl and Crew, we wrapped up our weekly theme, “Holy Week,” with Dr. Ronnie Floyd, Daniel Darling, and Dr. Sanjay Merchant.

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.
