We highlighted her book, "Confronting Christianity: 12 Hard Questions for the World's Largest Religion", which was named book of the year by Christianity Today.

Finally, Dr. Andy Bannister, Director of Solas, author, and speaker, unpacked the power of apologetics in absolute Truth.

  • How Do I Apply the Word to my Life?
    Jun 30 2025

    Today, on Karl and Crew, we kicked off our weekly theme, 'Rock Solid,' by discussing the importance of applying the Word to our lives. As followers of Christ, it's essential to read the Word, but we also have to take those words off the page and bring them to action. In a further discussion of the Bible, we were joined by Dr. Timothy Paul Jones to explore the legitimacy of the Word and how we know it's the truth. Dr. Jones serves as Vice President for Doctoral Studies and as Chair of the Department of Apologetics, Ethics, and Philosophy at the Southern Baptist Theological Seminary. He also serves as one of the pastors at Sojourn Church Midtown in Louisville. He also cohosts an apologetics podcast called The Apologetics Podcast. We then turned to the phone lines to hear how our listeners apply the truth of the Word to their daily lives. Then we had Simon Guillebaud join us to discuss his ministry in Burundi, East Africa, and the importance of a God-serving community in fostering spiritual growth. Simon is the Founder and International Director of Great Lakes Outreach, which works for the spiritual and physical development of the people of Burundi. He also partners with local Christian organizations to share the Word of God through sustainable projects. Simon has authored several books, including "Choose Life-365 Readings for Radical Disciples." He has also hosted the podcast "Inspired," which regularly tops the UK Christian podcast charts.

  • How To Use Transformational Tools for Spiritual Growth
    Jun 26 2025

    Today, on Karl and Crew, we continued our weekly theme of “Transformational Tools” by discussing how Christ-centered resources and information can catalyze our spiritual growth with Jesus. Our spiritual lives can flourish when we understand and distinguish the three key buckets of spiritual priority in connection to the Trinity: Humility before God, Proximity to Jesus, and Liberty of the Holy Spirit. Karl explained the three buckets and referenced 1 Peter 5:6, John Chapter 14-16, and Romans 8 to support it. Loren La Luz also joined us to discuss the ministry he co-founded, Streetlights. This ministry is a group of Creative Communicators who are called to intentionally engage global urban culture with the Gospel of Jesus Christ by producing, translating, teaching, and proclaiming God’s Word. Loren works as the Executive Director for Streetlights, and he also travels alongside his team of musicianaries, as the drummer, sharing the Gospel through the art of live music. We then had Dr. Nick Gatzke join us to share about a trip to Ireland. This trip is intended to be a time of fellowship for Moody Radio listeners and will be guided by Dr. Gatzke. There is limited space for the trip. For more information, please visit the website.
