Today, on Karl and Crew, we continued our weekly theme, “The Goodness of God.” Dr. Michael Vanlaningham, retired Professor of Bible at the Moody Bible Institute, unpacked how God’s sovereignty and goodness provide hope in the midst of suffering, reminding listeners that even life’s hardest trials are never outside His care. The Research Professor of Theology and Biblical Studies at Phoenix Seminary, Dr. Wayne Grudem, unpacked the difference between the visible and invisible church, emphasized the marks of genuine faith, and encouraged believers to abide in Christ and walk daily in the power of the Holy Spirit. One of the five most influential evangelists of her generation, Anne Graham Lotz, reflected on her father’s gospel legacy, Billy Graham, and encouraged believers to share Christ faithfully in every season. We then turned to our listeners on the phone line and asked, "How did the goodness of God amaze you?" How You can hear the highlights of today’s program on the Karl and Crew Showcast.
