Today on Karl and Crew, we continued our theme, “First Principle,” where we explored the difference between decision and surrender. Dannah Gresh, author of “And the Bride Wore White,” shared insights on purity culture, emphasizing that true purity is found in Christ and urging the Church to embrace a biblical vision of sexual integrity with both truth and grace. Dr. John Mabus, a professor from Moody Bible Institute highlighted that genuine salvation requires wholehearted surrender to Jesus, focusing on discipleship and a life transformed by Him. We also engaged our listeners, asking, “If the foundation of your salvation was off from the very beginning, how would you know?” You can hear the highlights of today’s program on the Karl and Crew Showcast.
