Today, on Karl and Crew, we continued our weekly theme, “The Church - Near and Far.” Nik Ripken, founder of Nik Ripken Ministries, shared powerful stories of persecuted believers worldwide and challenged Christians to live out their faith and share the gospel wherever God has placed them. Dr. Mike Fabarez, Pastor of Compass Bible Church and author of “The Bible: A Book like No Other,” discussed evidence for the Bible's reliability and how understanding it can strengthen our faith and answer difficult questions about Scripture. We then turned to our listeners and asked, “You were in the church but not in Christ. Tell us your story.”You can hear the highlights of today’s program on the Karl and Crew Showcast.
