On this Freedom Friday, we wrapped up the week with conversations about walking through the storm with Christ. We had Greg Dempster join us to discuss how, despite the storms, Christ is with us through it all. Greg is the Founder and Director of ChristLife Ministries, equipping Christian leaders to bring God’s healing and life to others confidently. He is also a senior leader, elder, and ministry director. Then we had Dustin Crowe join us to talk about the importance and God’s intention behind the wilderness season in our lives. Dustin serves as the Discipleship Pastor at Stones Crossing Church outside of Indianapolis, Indiana. He has written for websites such as The Gospel Coalition, Gospel-Centered Discipleship, and Christianity Today. He has also written the book, “Your Wilderness is Not a Waste: God’s Purpose in Suffering and Struggles.” We also turned to the phone lines to ask our listeners to share a time when they prayed for the storm to stop, but it didn’t, and Christ was present with them.

Today, on Karl and Crew, we continued our theme "Five Stunning Realities of the Gospel. Our scripture reference was Mark 6:42. We had a great discussion on how the Gospel is about provision, yet it's always about satisfaction. God wants us to be satisfied in the soul. We heard so many listener calls sharing the joy they have in God's provisions in their lives...and usually it's the simplest things.

We spoke with Dr. David Nelms, the Founder of The Timothy Initiative (TTI). He shared that one of the most significant provisions of the Gospel is that we can love others and tell others about the Gospel. The Great Commission is great, but the Great Commandment to love others as God has loved us and tell them the Good News is even greater!

Dr. Alex McFarland also joined us. He's a Christian apologist, author, evangelist, and culture analyst. He emphasized that the greatest satisfaction found in the Gospel is the cross! Every other provision and satisfaction comes from what happened on the cross. People can miss the blessings because they don't understand and culture is unstable. He offered 10 Questions Every Christian is asking or soon will be (to receive: text TEN to 1-800-555-7898). Also, his latest book is called "100 Bible Questions and Answers on Prophecy and the End Times".

Today, on Karl and Crew, we continued our theme "Five Stunning Realities of the Gospel. Our scripture reference was Mark 6:14-29. We had a great discussion on the power of conviction, especially through the Gospel. We are all convicted of something or by someone every day, but what are our actions? What is the power behind those actions?

Pastor, speaker, and award-winning author, Max Lucado, helped us learn ways to tame our thoughts. His new book is called "Tame Your Thoughts: 3 Tools to Renew Your Mind and Transform Your Life". We must guard our thoughts and weed out unhealthy thought patterns. It's vital to separate the present issue from the real issue.

We also talked with Dr. Michael Rydelnik. He is Professor Emeritus of Jewish Studies and Bible at MBI. Dr. Rydelnik is the host of the radio program Open Line. Dr. Rydelnik (as well as Karl) will be speaking at The Summit on Israel and the Last Days Conference on November 8th at the Moody Bible Institute. He also shared his family history and testimony as a Jewish believer.
