National Love Our Children Day is April 5, and as we consider how we love our children, what could be better than to share about Jesus with them? How does the work of Wycliffe Bible Translators play into that love for children around the world? How do Bible translation efforts impact the youngest generations? These are questions answered by Wycliffe Bible Translator's Melissa Paredes, who visits with Seth and Deb and introduces us to Kate and Mack's resources for kids on Friday's Mornings with Seth and Deb!

On this Freedom Friday, we concluded our weekly theme of fasting with a discussion on fasting the right way. Fasting is a time of intimacy and devotion to the Lord, so we must approach it with a humble and seeking heart. We turned to Isaiah 58, which instructs us that our fasting should be pleasing to God, not based on our expectations or motives. We also discussed the pressures of evangelizing to others, and   Andrew Steier joined us to share his insights about the evangelizing organization he works with. Andrew is the Director of Always Going, a Christian organization dedicated to teaching others how to evangelize with a focused worldview. The organization strives to reach others with the gospel in ways that go beyond general communication methods. Andrew has also authored and self-published a book called, “Always Going: The Joyful Overflow of Everday Evangelism.” 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 fasting with a discussion about the rewards, blessings, and intimacy with the Lord that come from fasting. We turned to Daniel 9:3-5, where Daniel tells us that the Lord heard him and honored his plea when he fasted and prayed. How often do you draw near to the Lord through fasting? Drew Dyck also joined us to discuss how God can transform ordinary things into extraordinary ones.

Who is the one person we will believe when they lie to us nine out of ten times? Gerad Hall says it is the person we see in the mirror. Yes, we are prone to speak lies into our painful and discouraging circumstances, but Psalm 42 shines a light on the truth we should be speaking over ourselves.  Gerad walks us through the experience of the Psalmist,  highlighting God's desire for us to live in hopeful dependence on Him through our times of suffering.
