Karl and Crew

Today, on Karl and Crew, we wrapped up our “All-Star Week. We're inviting some of your favorite guests back to discuss key updates in their ministries and work. Plus, we are asking them, and you, an important question this season: "If the birth of Christ never happened, what part of your life would be most different? We had Phil Kwiatkowski join us to discuss Pacific Garden Mission, a ministry serving the unhoused and those in need through shelter, food, and the gospel. Phil is the President of the Pacific Garden Mission. He was previously the VP of different ministries and a counselor. He is also a graduate of the Moody Bible Institute. We also had Dr. Samuel Naaman join us to provide an update on the goat project and to share his fond Christmas memories, which differ from those in Pakistan when he was a practicing Muslim. Dr. Naaman is a Professor of Intercultural Studies at the Moody Bible Institute. He is also the Vice President of Call of Hope. We then turned to the phone lines to ask our listeners, “What are you praising Jesus for today?” You can hear the highlights of today's program on the Karl and Crew Showcast.

Today, on Karl and Crew, we continued our weekly theme, “Tough Questions for Christians,” as we discussed what it truly means to follow Jesus. Jonathan shared his testimony on how he truly began to serve God after years of living in the hallucination of salvation. We then turned to the phone lines to ask our listeners to share with us about the day they truly came to know Jesus. We then had Dr. Erwin Lutzer join us to talk about what happens after death and why God allows people to go to hell. Dr Lutzer is Pastor Emeritus of Moody Church. He is a clear expositor of the Bible, and he’s the featured speaker on two radio programs: Running to Win, a daily Bible-teaching broadcast heard weekdays at 9:30 a.m., and Songs in the Night, an evening program that has been airing since 1943.

On this Freedom Friday, we wrapped up our weekly theme, “What is God’s Will for My Life?” with a discussion about turning from the world and choosing to serve and fear the Lord. We turned to Joshua 24:15, where we see Joshua tell the Israelites that they must choose whom they will serve: the world or the Lord. Joshua made it very clear who he serves as he said, “But as for me and my household, we serve the Lord.” We then turned to the phone lines to ask listeners to share a time they had an “as for me” moment when they chose to serve the Lord over the idols of man. Then we had Dr. Erwin Lutzer join us to discuss how to see the sovereignty of God in the face of unanswered prayers and not get discouraged by them. Dr. Lutzer is Pastor Emeritus of Moody Church. He is also the featured speaker on two radio programs: Running to Win and Songs in the Night. He also wrote several books, including his latest book, “Why Doesn’t God Answer My Prayers?” Then we had Bill Gaither join us to discuss his experience and motivation for serving the Lord through music. He also spoke about the 2026 Then Came the Morning tour. Bill is a Grammy Award-winning artist and a pioneering figure in Gospel music, and is celebrated for both his songwriting and mentorship.
