Karl and Crew

Today on Karl and Crew, we continued our weekly theme of Fathers in the Bible as we flipped to Exodus 18 to analyze Moses and his father-in-law, Jethro, as father-figures. We saw how Jethro provided counsel to Moses regarding his leadership, and because of the context of their relationship and who Jethro was, Moses was humble and receptive to it. Often, God places father-figures in our lives to help guide and counsel us because they may have experience or wisdom in areas we may not. We turned to the phone lines to hear about the father-figures in the lives of our listeners and how they impacted their lives. We also had Ron Deal join us to discuss the role and significance of a non-biological father figure, the step-dad. Ron is a best-selling author, licensed marriage and family therapist, podcaster, and popular conference speaker. He is also the Founder and President of Smart Stepfamilies and Director of Blended, a division of Family Life. Ron has authored several books, including “The Smart Stepdad.” Janet Parshall also joined us in analyzing the worldview of the modern woman with that of a godly woman. Janet hosts the national program, In the Market with Janet Parshall, which airs weekdays from 4-6 pm CT. She has been broadcasting from the nation’s capital for over three decades and has spoken internationally. You can hear the highlights of today’s program on the Karl and Crew Showcast.

On this Freedom Friday, we celebrated the freedom that comes from having a relationship with Jesus and no longer being in darkness. Sometimes, we can do all the right things but remain lost. We could attend church every Sunday, participate in Bible Study, sing with the choir, volunteer,  etc., but still not know who Christ is. The testimonies shared by Karl and Crew this week shed some light on how each member had a false sense of salvation at a point in their walk with Christ. Today, we asked our listeners to share their coming-to-Christ stories. Was there a time when you were in church but didn’t know Christ?

Today, on Karl and Crew, we wrapped up our weekly theme of “Abide in God” by discussing how, when we abide in Him, we experience fruitfulness, whether it be changes in our perspectives or actions. Romans 6:20 tells us that when we submit to the Lord, we produce fruit that leads to everlasting life. What was the most significant “change of fruit” you noticed when you experienced new life in Christ? We had a few listeners call in and share the fruitfulness they’ve experienced after coming to Christ. Chip Ingram also joined us in sharing the beauty of embracing the God-given gift of joy.

Today, on Karl and Crew, we continued our weekly theme of “Abide in God” by discussing the three baits that Satan uses to get us out of proximity with God. We looked at John 15, where Jesus says that we must remain connected to Him to produce fruit and that without Him, we produce nothing. Satan doesn’t want us to be connected and will try to lead us away from Jesus. We turned to Matthew 4, where we analyzed the three ways Satan tried to separate Jesus from God and how he tries to do the same to us. Oftentimes, Satan will use the Hallucination of Salvation to deter us from abiding in God. Phillip Miller joined the conversation and provided insight into how being connected and having our identity rooted in Christ is imperative. Philip is the Senior Pastor of the Moody Church. He can also be heard on the weekly “Moody Church Hour” nationwide radio broadcast on 90.1-WMBI-FM on Sundays at 10 am. Philip also has over 15 years of ministry experience. We also had Susie Larson join us to talk in depth about the grief of life when you are far from Christ. Susie is a best-selling author and national speaker. She also hosts the popular radio show, Susie Larson Live, and shares Daily Blessings on social media, which reaches over half a million people. She has authored several books, including “Strong in Battle.” You can hear the highlights of today’s program on Karl and Crew Showcast.
