After making it to our destination at nearly the farthest Northwest corner of the US, we finally turned around on our We Will Not Fear tour and started heading east. In this week's podcast, Susie and reflect on our time in Seattle, and the need for refreshment as we head into Montana and the first snow fall of the year! We also ask important questions like , can you enjoy yourself on a mission trip? What constitutes a sight-seeing trip as opposed to a ministry trip? Is Montana pretty or not? And where is that money going to come from?! All these and more are answered on this week's Gospel for Planet Earth Podcast!

Imagine driving through an American city with a church building on the corners of the streets every few blocks. There is a Chic-Fil-A down the road providing employment for the many church-goers in the area, many of whom are also homeschooled. The economy is strong and family values are respected. You might imagine that you were driving through the Bible belt, with the one difference being that the churches on the corners are not Baptist, Presbyterian, or Pentecostal, but Mormon, “The church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints”. That is what it is like driving through Salt Lake City, Utah. In this week’s Podcast, join Susie and I and our family as we travel through the Great Northwest and reflect on our brief stay in the Salt Lake City area. We will be pondering the differences between the Mormon culture and the culture of the Bible belt or Christian culture in general. What is the difference? Are Mormon’s Christians? What makes someone a Christian? What makes someone a good person? What is the Gospel? We will be addressing these rather significant questions in this 2nd “secret” podcast from our We Will Not Fear tour. We will also be giving you an update on the financial journey of faith we took as our resources continued to dwindle as we headed West. Don’t forget to like, comment, and share with a friend! And while sharing, be sure to leave us a note about how this podcast is effecting you or how it could be improved. Thanks for listening!

What is it like to travel as a family of seven across the entire continent of North America? Well, you are about to find out! On our recent cross-country trip my wife, Susie, and I recorded multiple “secret” podcasts that were not meant to be released until the trip was over. That is because these podcasts give you a real look into the journey of faith that we stepped into as we travelled from one end of the country to the other (somewhere close to 10,000 miles!) singing and doing ministry wherever the door was opened. How did we do it? What are the challenges? What are the joys? How do you plan meals or keep the kids from losing their minds?! You will find out in this exciting tell-all! This first installment of the “secret” podcasts finds us on the road to Utah in still the early part of our journey. Come join us for the ride and watch out for Antelope crossing the interstate!

Over the past 8 years, my family and I have traveled thousands and thousands of miles across our great country to sing and display the Gospel in rescue missions, street corners, churches, drug rehab centers and anywhere we can. One of the opportunities that these trips have provided has been meeting various Christians, hearing their testimonies, and discovering that they are indeed our family too. Jesus himself said that “there is no one who has left house or wife or brothers or parents or children, for the sake of the kingdom of God, who will not receive many times as much at this time and in the age to come..." Luke 18:29-30.  We've had the privilege of staying with many folks in their homes and experiencing the reality that we are family in Jesus. On one of our ​ journeys, we stayed with our brother in Christ, Jason Peters, who was working at that time with the Voice of the Martyrs in Bartlesville Oklahoma. On this most recent trip, we reconnected with Jason, this time in Colorado, where he is now involved in a unique work (Hope Haven Rwanda) involving his whole family in the country of Rwanda. On this week's podcast, Jason introduces me to Susan Hollern who is the founder of Hope Haven Rwanda. I was blessed to meet Susan and to hear her testimony as well as to learn much about Rwanda that I really did not know. Listen to the podcast and click on the link below to find out how you can serve Jesus and even get to know Him more through His people in Rwanda.

Halloween is here and all over the country people are celebrating horrible things...and candy. I don't know what the appeal of horror actually is, but as much as we seem to enjoy horror as entertainment this time of year, the truth is that most of us live with a great amount of unspoken or un-articulated fear on a day to day basis. Fear is a deadly poison to the human being and a detriment to those of us who desire to follow Jesus. On this week's podcast, and for the next several podcasts, we will be going inside the "We Will Not Fear Tour" as we make our way straight across the United States and back on a faith-inspired mission trip. We are trying to face our fears and demonstrate that Jesus is greater than them all! He is the Victor! This week's stop is in Kansas with my Brother and Sister-in-Law as we talk about what scares us the most! Be sure to comment and tells us what fears you have, or even better, what fears over which God has given you victory!

In this week's podcast, we are revisiting the lecture that I gave at the Meeting Jesus in the Gospel of Luke Conference August 2017. In this brief lecture, I focus on the meaning of the cross of Jesus by examining the interactions Luke presents to us at the time of Jesus' crucifixion in Luke 23.

Is the end of the world near? Many people seem to think so, but why is that? And why is it that the people who live in the most wealth and comfort are the most concerned and the most convinced that the end of the world is near? Are we required to believe this? Is this part of Christian Orthodoxy? In this throw-back podcast, Karl revisits a radio show he did several years ago in the early stages of the Gospel for Planet Earth. Are we closer to the end of the world now than we were several years ago? Find out in this week’s podcast!
