Karl and Crew Mornings

Today on Karl and Crew, we continued our discussion on finding and keeping love. But first, we went to 2 Corinthians 9:6-8, where Paul talks about cheerful giving. Our SHARE event starts tomorrow, and we would love for you to consider partnering with us to continue reaching the lost with the Gospel.  When it comes to finding love, our culture often tells us that finding the right person is the key. However, it may be more beneficial to focus on becoming the right person through the guidance of the Holy Spirit. This morning's guests were Dave and Ann Wilson, co-hosts of Family Life Today. They've been married for over 44 years and have spent over three decades teaching and mentoring couples and parents.

Who wins?  Is it faith, hope, or love?  Today, on Karl and Crew, we continued discussing how to love like crazy.  Our Scripture reference was 1 Corinthians 13:13.  Love overrides and never ends.  The verse says, "the greatest of these is love".  We also talked with special guest, Ron Hutchcraft, who is the founder and chairman of Ron Hutchcraft Ministries and On Eagles Wings.  He is also a speaker, author, and radio host.  Ron shared his story of love and hope through the unexpected death of his wife, Karen.  We shared his book, "Hope When Your Heart is Breaking".  Listen to the highlights of today's program on the Karl and Crew Podcast.     See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

What are the marks of maturity? Today on Karl and Crew, we continued discussing how to love like crazy. Our Scripture reference was 1 Corinthians 13:8-12. One mark of a mature Christ follower is their ability to show love in the face of hostility. Rather than having to always have the last word, sometimes we just have to get out of God's way and let Him work. This morning's guest was award-winning singer, songwriter, TV host, and author Babbie Mason. Her latest book is called, Each One Reach One: Everyday Ways You Can Shine God's Light. Listen to the highlights of today's program on the Karl and Crew Podcast.  See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Today on Karl and Crew, we delved further into our topic "Love Like Crazy," focusing on 1 Corinthians 13:4-7. When it comes to character flaws, we often focus on what needs to get out, when we should focus on what needs to get in. What we see as character flaws, God sees as love voids. When we allow ourselves to be filled with the love of God, we will see it overpower those undesirable behaviors. Don't be overwhelmed by what needs to change, be overcome by the one who can change you.

Today on Karl and Crew, we kicked off a new theme for the week called "Love Like Crazy." Our Scripture reference was 1 Corinthians 13:1-3.

We discussed the four types of love mentioned in the Bible, and we heard stories from the team and the Boom Crew about times when someone loved them in a way that was genuine and God-exalting. Tune in all week to hear more about how to love like crazy, and hear all the highlights on the Karl and Crew Podcast.   See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

It's Freedom Friday with Karl and Crew! Today, we wrapped up our theme, "Shout Freedom." Have you ever found yourself trying to live out your faith in your own strength? You're not alone! Sometimes we fall back under the yolk of slavery, thinking we can pull ourselves up by our bootstraps. The Apostle Paul knew this well, as we read in Galatians 3:1-3 and 2 Corinthians 12. Praise God for His abundant grace! We talked with special guest Lori Ridder about her weight loss journey and her upcoming webinar called "Power in Weakness," beginning on September 26th at 7pmCT.

Are you a performance Christian? Today on Karl and Crew, we continued our weekly theme, "Shout Freedom." Our Scripture references were Galatians 6:14-16 and John 15. True freedom is found by staying connected to the vine, focusing on Christ and his finished work on the cross. It's not what we do--it's what He did. And on this 23rd anniversary of the 9/11 attacks, we featured a beautiful reading from the late Mike Kellogg called, "Meet Me in the Stairwell," based on the original poem by Stacey Randall. You can listen to that poem along with all the highlights of today's program on the Karl and Crew Showcast.  See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Today on Karl and Crew, we continued our topic, "Shout Freedom." Our Scripture reference was Galatians 6:11-15. Religion tries to hide in works, but true freedom is costly. We talked about the ways in which we can keep ourselves free from religious baggage and aligned with the truth of our identity in Christ. We featured a resource to help you with this, which you can find here. Finally, we were prompted to spend some time in prayer for our Boom Crew's wayward kids.

Nobody likes it when things break. But can there be a blessing in the broken? Today on Karl and Crew, we introduced with a new theme for the week: Shout Freedom. When it comes to regeneration, the first step to freedom is recognizing how spiritually broken we are.

Then we spent some time talking with the Boom Crew about bad information they have gotten, in everyday life and in their spiritual life.

Today on Karl and Crew, we continued our theme, "Spread the Word," and we talked about evangelistic outreach. The parable of the good Samaritan from Luke 10 shows us that a huge part of outreach is the willingness to love those who are different from us. Our guest was Pastor Corey Brooks, Senior Pastor of New Beginnings Church of Chicago.
