Today we concluded our theme week on Hope. We had a great conversation with radio host, speaker, and author Susie Larson.  She discussed how hope in Christ sets us free in the pain and keeps us in awe of God.  Dr. Crawford Loritts, President and Founder of Beyond Our Generation and host of Living a Legacy, helped us unpack the true definition of biblical hope and how to live it out.  Also, speaker and author Nicole Jacobsmeyer shared her personal story and the inspiration for her new book, "Something Will Grow: Finding God's Heart in the Soil of Suffering."  Finally, we recognized the 25th anniversary of 9-11 with a special poem written by Stacey Randall and narrated by the late Mike Kellogg.  You can hear the highlights of today’s program on the Karl and Crew Showcast.

Today, on Karl and Crew, we wrapped up our weekly theme, “Founder’s Week.” Dr. Michael Rydelnik, Professor Emeritus of Jewish Studies and Bible at Moody Bible Institute, joined us to discuss biblical prophecy and how believers can eagerly anticipate Christ's return while faithfully serving Him. Up next, Steve DeWitt, Pastor of Bethel Church and Author of “Enjoying God in Everything,” discussed Christ's supremacy and how recognizing God's greater purpose gives meaning to our everyday lives. Then Dr. Crawford Loritts, President and Founder of Beyond Our Generation, discussed why true discipleship begins with a commitment to Jesus and how humility and dependence on God lead to spiritual growth. We also played short clips from last night's Founder’s Week sessions. You can hear the highlights of today’s program on the Karl and Crew Showcast.
