Karl and Crew

Today on Karl and Crew, we launched our weekly theme, “Dependence on God.” Rob West joined us to discuss the reasons churches collect money. He acknowledged the ways giving has sometimes been misused, while explaining how biblical generosity supports the church's work, reflects our trust in God, and enables believers to participate in His kingdom mission. Rob is the host of the radio program "Faith & Finance Live," CEO of Kingdom Advisors, and author of "Our Ultimate Treasure: A 21-Day Journey to Faithful Stewardship." We also welcomed Rebecca McLaughlin, who addressed difficult questions often raised against Christianity.

Rebecca holds a theology degree from Oak Hill Seminary and is the author of "Confronting Christianity: 12 Hard Questions for the World's Largest Religion." Additionally, Todd Nettleton joined us to discuss the Day of the Christian Martyr, sharing stories of believers and modern persecuted Christians who have counted the cost of following Jesus.
