Today, on Karl and Crew, we kicked off our weekly theme, “Back to School.” Peter Worrall and Dr. Elizabeth Smith joined us today.

Dr. Elizabeth Smith, Dean of Faculty for Moody Online and a Professor and Curriculum Writer for Moody Bible Institute, shared how students can fight boredom, stay engaged, and see learning and work as a gift from God. We then invited our listeners to share a story about a time they were around an open Bible in public, whether it was them with the Bible or someone else.
