Today, on Karl and Crew, we continued our weekly theme, "Debunking Myths, and we discussed the statement, "I can't break the cycle."  Where are you with God today?  He is trying to get your attention.  Our scripture reference was Revelation 3 and the Church of Laodicea.  There are biblical reasons as to why God doesn't answer our prayers.  If we know the reasons, we can avoid them.  We also had a special resource today explaining those reasons.  On this Freedom Friday, our special guest was recording artist Ben Fuller. He shared his powerful freedom story and faith walk, plus a few live songs.  You can hear the highlights of today's program on the Karl and Crew Showcast.
