Today, on Karl and Crew, we discussed an eye-opening series of passages from 1 John about two kinds of confidence that every believer needs. We also gave a resource that will help you realize the truth of your identity in Christ. We talked about biblical ethics with our guest, Dr. Mikel Del Rosario, a professor at MBI and host of the podcast The Apologetics Guy.
