Today, on Karl and Crew, we dove deeper into the life of King David and discussed his unapologetic form of praise: dance. King David was known for his creative abilities in music, writing, and dance, and when others tried to make him self-conscious about it, he was unbothered. We turned to 2 Samuel 6:21-22 with Dr. Ryan Cook to see David’s persistence, intentionality, and boldness with his praise. Dr. Cook is an Old Testament and Hebrew Professor at Moody Theological Seminary (MTS). He is also a key writer for “Today in the Word”, Moody Bible Institute’s free daily devotional, and a contributor to the “Moody Handbook of Messianic Prophecy” and several academic publications. Dr. Cook was also recently appointed as Dean of Faculty at MTS. He also has a book coming out in June called “Talking with God: Daily Readings in the Psalms.” We also talked with Dr. William West about how the Bible and Science go hand in hand. Dr. West is a Harvard and Johns Hopkins-trained oncologist and researcher for advanced cancer care. He founded the West Clinic and has grown it from a single practice into a network of five locations. He has also written “Sacred Science: Understanding Divine Creation”. You can hear the highlights of today’s program on Karl and Crew Showcast.

Today, on Karl and Crew, we continued our weekly focus on David as we analyzed his leadership and his inclination to seek the Lord’s counsel. David was placed in a position of power as king, and instead of being led by man or power, he constantly sought the Lord when making decisions. We see this in 1 and 2 Samuel, David sought God from when King Saul was hunting him to when he was on the throne, making royal decisions. How often are you leaning on the Lord for counsel? We also had Jessica Ronne join us to discuss resources for caregivers. Jessica is an author, caregiver advocate, podcast host of “Coffee with Caregivers,” and the associate producer of the documentary “Unseen: How We’re Failing Parent Caregivers & Why It Matters.” She is also the founder and executive director of The Lucas Project, a nonprofit dedicated to serving parent caregivers. She has also authored several books, including her latest, “Caregiving with Grit and Grace.” You can hear the highlights of today’s program on Karl and Crew Showcast.

Music is a form of expression that can communicate a story, event, dialogue, or the gospel. 1 Samuel 16 talks about how David would play music to soothe the troubled King Saul. Our discussion examines how God can use music to minister to us. What’s a song that God has used to minister to you? Dr. Winfred Neely also joined us in analyzing David's life and anointing.
