Today, on Karl and Crew, we continued with our weekly theme of “Killing Sin” with a discussion about how to partner with God in daily struggles, such as reviving our prayer life and decluttering.

Today, on Karl and Crew, we dove deeper into our weekly theme of “Killing Sin” by discussing the importance of eradicating sin. We were all born into sin, so it’s the nature of our flesh to sin, but we aren’t bound to it because Jesus Christ delivered us from it. As followers of Christ, we are to cast down and kill the sin, which is precisely what God wants us to do. We turned to Proverbs 6:16-19, where we see how God feels about sin. We then examined Romans 12:1-2, where Paul instructs us to present our bodies as holy to God and not to be conformed to the world. Are you killing the sin in your life? Dr. Drew Dickens also joined us to discuss how Artificial Intelligence (AI) can help us overcome sin. Dr. Dickens is a visionary leader, AI expert, and scholar who has made significant contributions to the intersection of technology, spirituality, and faith-based engagement. He is also the founder of the Encountering Peace app and the Encounter Podcast, which provides biblical meditations, resources, and dialogue. Dr. Dickens has also authored the book “Whispers of the Spirit: A 40-Day Guide to Intimate Prayer.” We then had Rob West join us to discuss the three sins we need to overcome to achieve biblical financial stewardship: Greed, Fear, and Pride. Rob West is the host of the nationally syndicated radio program, Faith and Finance Live, which airs weekday afternoons at 3 pm on 90.1FM. He is also the host of the Faith and Finance podcast and the CEO of Kingdom Advisors, a community of financial professionals who deliver biblically wise financial advice. Rob has also authored the 21-day devotional, “Look at the Sparrows.” You can hear the highlights of today's program on the Karl and Crew Showcast.

Today, on Karl and Crew, we kicked off the week with discussions about a cancer patient ministry with Phil Zielke and how to make the most of a screen-free summer with your kids, with Arlene Pellicane. First, Phil Zielke joined us to share his testimony of how he drew near to God when he was diagnosed with Stage 4B Hodgkin’s Lymphoma, and then how God placed it on his heart to start a ministry that serves cancer patients. Phil’s Friends is a ministry that provides Christ-centered support and hope to those affected by cancer. Then we had Arlene Pellicane join us to talk about the importance of parents connecting with their children by limiting their screen time. Arlene is a speaker, author, and host of the Happy Home podcast. She is also a marriage and parenting expert. Arlene has also authored several books, including “Screen Kids.” We then discussed our need for God’s grace. We were born into sin, so it is in our nature to be sinful, but when we are born again through Christ, we are renewed by God’s grace. Romans 7:18-25 affirms this, as Paul tells us that sin dwells within us and affects how we move and think without God. Only God can deliver us from sin through Jesus Christ. We also heard updates from Karl, who was broadcasting remotely from the Maranatha Bible Missionary Conference, Vacation and Retreat Center. Dr. Josh Stephens joined Karl to discuss the sovereignty and providence of God as shown throughout the book of Ruth. Dr. Stephens is the Lead Pastor of Cape Bible Church in Missouri and is also the founder and executive director of the Biblical Counseling Alliance. You can hear the highlights of today's program on the Karl and Crew Showcast.
