Today, on Karl and Crew, we continued our weekly theme, “Holy Week,” with Dr. Michael Rydelnik, Dr. James Coakley, and Todd Nettleton. Dr. Michael Rydelnik joined us to discuss how Jesus is the Passover Lamb and why we must reconnect Easter to its roots in Passover and the story of redemption. Dr. Rydelnik is Professor Emeritus of Jewish Studies and Bible at Moody Bible Institute and host of Open Line on Moody Radio. A Bible teacher specializing in the Hebrew Bible, the Jewish people, Israel, and biblical prophecy, he is also the author of “50 Most Important Bible Questions,” “The Messianic Hope,” and “How Should Christians Think About Israel?” Dr. James Coakley joined us to discuss how studying Scripture more deeply reveals God’s intentional work and how Jesus is in control, even in the details of Holy Week. Dr. Coakley is Professor of Bible in the Bible and Theology Department at Moody Bible Institute, where he received the Faculty Citation Award in 2025. He is also a current elder at 180 Chicago Church and a former senior pastor. He is the author of “14 Fresh Ways to Enjoy the Bible,” a Christianity Today 2024 Book Award winner, and a regular writer for Today in the Word. Todd Nettleton joined us to share what Holy Week is like for persecuted Christians around the world. Todd Nettleton is Vice President of Message for The Voice of the Martyrs-USA and host of The Voice of the Martyrs Radio, a ministry serving persecuted Christians around the world. During more than 25 years with VOM, he has interviewed hundreds of persecuted Christians in more than 30 nations. He is also the author of “When Faith Is Forbidden.” You can hear the highlights of today’s program on the Karl and Crew Showcast.
