Today, on Karl and Crew, we took an inward approach as we kicked off our weekly theme of "Mindset" with a discussion on mind renewal. As followers of Jesus, our minds are renewed as we draw nearer to Him because we shed our worldly thought processes to have Spirit-led thoughts. This transformation is necessary for believers because it allows us to mentally align with God’s will.  We learned in Romans 12:2 that the Lord doesn’t want us to conform to the world but to be set apart, and to do this; we have to get rid of those ungodly thoughts.  One of our guests, Asheritah Ciuciu, shared with us how she cast down those thoughts and replaced them with the delight of the Lord. Asheritah founded One Thing Alone Ministries and has authored several books, including “Delighting in Jesus- Rhythms to Restore Joy When You Feel Burdened, Broken, or Burned-Out.” Pastor Dr. Erwin Lutzer also shared insight on shifting our thinking to biblical thoughts. Pastor Lutzer is an award-winning author of numerous books, pastor, and speaker.  He also is a featured speaker on two radio programs with Moody Church Media. You can hear the highlights of today’s program on Karl and Crew Showcast.

Today, on Karl and Crew, we discussed the importance of not only aligning our Spirit with God but also our bodies. Our bodies are an extension of our Spirit and should be treated with just as much intentionality and devotion. Paul tells us our bodies are temples, so we should take care of them and not subject them to spiritually harmful things such as sexual immorality or idolatry. We turned to Romans 8:13 and Romans 12:1 where we read that we need to present our bodies as a living sacrifice to God and live through the Spirit and not the flesh because the ways of the flesh lead to death. We need to feed our bodies spiritual nourishment. Have you been spiritually nourishing your body? We also shared a sermon by Karl that goes more in-depth on how to align our bodies with God’s will and plan. You can hear the highlights of today’s program on Karl and Crew Showcast.

Today, on Karl and Crew, we continued our weekly theme of sober-mindedness and discussed its importance during prayer. Prayer is a time of deep intimacy with God, and we need to be fully present during that time of communion with Him. Do you feel fully present during your prayers, or do you find yourself distracted? We analyzed different translations of the scripture, 1 Peter 4:7, to understand how we should approach such an intimate time with God. We also tuned into Zimbabwe to see what Karl was up to with CURE International. You can hear the highlights of today’s program on Karl and Crew showcast.
