Today, on Karl and Crew, we continued our weekly theme, “Discipleship.” Jim Daly joined us to talk about the spiritual landscape facing families today and how parents can live an authentic faith that draws their children toward Christ rather than pushing them away. Jim is the President and Chief Executive Officer of Focus on the Family and the host of the podcast. We then had Dr. Ronald Sauer join us to explain why the Holy Spirit is essential to the Christian life, guiding believers into truth, empowering daily obedience, and giving parents hope as they pray for their children. Dr. Sauer is the host of the podcast “Quiet Time” and has served as a Professor of Bible and Greek at Moody Bible Institute for 35 years. We also had Dr. Crawford Loritts join us to explain why discipleship cannot happen apart from the Holy Spirit, who glorifies Christ, illuminates God’s Word, and transforms believers from the inside out. Dr. Loritts is the President and Founder of Beyond Our Generation, which is committed to helping the next generation of Christian leaders. You can hear the highlights of today’s program on the Karl and Crew Showcast.
