Today, on Karl and Crew, we continued our weekly theme,  “Redeeming Time.” Alex McFarland joined us to explain how redeeming time includes honoring God with our rest, responsibilities, and priorities while staying attentive to the Holy Spirit’s leading. Alex is a Christian apologist, author, evangelist, religion and culture analyst, national talk show host, and a youth expert. We also had Drew Dyck join us to explain how distractions steal our time and how Scripture, habits, and God’s grace help us redeem it for what matters. Drew is an acquisitions editor with Moody Publishers and a contributing editor for Christianity Today for Pastors. He is the author of “Your Future Self Will Thank You: Secrets to Self-Control from the Bible and Brain Science.” We invited our listeners to the “Redeem Time” Challenge to encourage you to use your time more intentionally and spiritually, focusing on productivity, purpose, rest, and honoring God, rather than wasting it. We then turned to the phone lines to hear from our listeners. We asked the question, “What was that thing you were procrastinating on that God gave you victory to overcome?” You can hear the highlights of today’s program on the Karl and Crew Showcast.
