Today, on Karl and Crew, we continued our weekly theme of “abundance out of scarcity” with a discussion about the beauty behind conviction of scripture. When reading the Bible, we often encounter verses that prompt us to reassess our heart posture. You may ask yourself, “Am I being intentional about my walk with Christ?” Asking yourself questions like this can be a sign of the Holy Spirit's conviction, and the Lord corrects those He loves because He wants us to grow. We turned to the phone lines to ask callers the question, “What scripture, when first reading it, caused you to feel conviction?” We then had Rob West join us to discuss financial abundance in the context of God. Rob West is the host of the nationally syndicated radio program Faith and Finance LIVE, which airs weekdays at 3 pm on 90.1 FM. He is also the host of the Faith and Finance podcast and has a FaithFi App. He is also the CEO of Kingdom Advisors, a community of financial professionals specializing in delivering biblically wise financial advice. We then talked about the upcoming event, Experience Moody.

The following are upcoming Experience Moody days: 

• September 26, 2025
