Today, on Karl and Crew, we continued our weekly theme, “First Principle,” and explained why religion can't save people. Phil Shappard served over 30 years as National Operations Manager of Moody Radio. He reflected on Moody Radio’s 100-year legacy, sharing stories of the ministry’s humble beginnings, technological innovation, and unwavering commitment to proclaiming the gospel. J. Warner Wallace, an adjunct professor of apologetics at Talbot School of Theology, shared how his experience as a cold-case detective led him to examine the evidence for Christianity, explaining why the historical case for Jesus’ resurrection continues to strengthen believers’ confidence and hope. You can hear the highlights of today’s program on the Karl and Crew Showcast.
