Today, on Karl and Crew, we kicked off our weekly theme of “Back to School” with some of the professors from the Moody Bible Institute (MBI). We had Dr. Jim Coakley join us to talk about Hermeneutics, the study of interpreting the Bible. Dr. Coakley is a professor of Bible at MBI and a current elder with the 180 Chicago church. He is also a member of the Evangelical Theological Society. He has several publications and books, including “14 Fresh Ways to Enjoy the Bible.” We also had Dr. Sanjay Merchant join us to break down the divinity of the Trinity. Dr. Merchant is a former atheist turned believer and professor of Theology at MBI. He also teaches Apologetics and Philosophy and has three Master’s degrees in Apologetics, Philosophy, and Theology, and a doctorate that focuses on the Trinity. We then turned to the phone lines to ask the question, "What did God help you to see most clearly, that you couldn't see before?" We then had a conversation about how turning to the Lord brings clarity and understanding and  “removes the veil”. We see this in 2 Corinthians 3:12-17, where it talks about the veil being a covering over the mind of those who are without Christ and how it is only removed when we turn to Him. We then had Sydney Swenson join us to share about the upcoming admissions event, “Experience Moody.” Sydney is the Admissions Operations Manager for MBI in Chicago. She organizes all of the campus visits and “Experience Moody” events, and the next one is September 26, 2025. You can hear the highlights of today's program on the Karl and Crew Showcast.
