Managing Overwhelm as a Mom with Jamie Erickson & The Case for Miracles with Lee Strobel

Today, on Karl and Crew, we continued our weekly theme of ‘Prosperity’ with a discussion about how God promises prosperity to those who follow His word and abide in Him. We then turned to the phone lines to ask our listeners the question, “How has the Word of God prospered you?” We then had Jamie Erickson join us to discuss how overwhelm can be self-inflicted in the lives of women and moms, and how, with God, we can learn to manage that overwhelm. Jamie loves to encourage and equip moms around the world through her Mom to Mom podcast. She is also the Founder of The Unlikely Homeschool, her nationally popular education blog that includes resources and tips. He has also written several books, including “Holy Hygge: Creating a Place for People to Gather and the Gospel to Grow.” We also had Lee Strobel join us to discuss miracles and faith, and then he spoke about his upcoming movie, “The Case for Miracles”, which will be in theaters for a limited time, from December 15-18. Lee is an atheist-turned Christian and the former award-winning legal editor of the Chicago Tribune. He was a journalist for 14 years at the Chicago Tribune and other newspapers. Lee’s spiritual journey was depicted in the 2017 award-winning theatrical motion picture, ‘The Case for Christ.’ He is also the Founding Director for the Lee Strobel Center for Evangelism and Applied Apologetics at Colorado Christian University.

Call of Hope: The Goat Project with Dr. Samuel Naaman & Worry and Provision with Dr. Winfred Neely

Today, on Karl and Crew, we kicked off our weekly theme of “Prosperity” with discussions about seeking God’s kingdom before worldly possessions. As followers of Christ, we are to serve God first and remove any idols or false gods that take precedence in our lives. We also turned to the phone lines to ask our listeners to share how God redirected their affection from money and its providence to seeking the kingdom of God first. We then had Dr. Samuel Naaman join us to discuss Call of Hope, a ministry that reaches Muslims for Christ, and their initiative to gift children in Africa with a goat and the gospel. Dr. Naaman is a Professor of Intercultural Studies at the Moody Bible Institute. He is also the Vice President of Call of Hope. Then we heard from our listeners as they told us about their most unique gift from someone and how God used it. We then had Dr. Winfred Neely join us to discuss trusting in God’s promise of prosperity and abstaining from worry. Dr. Winfred Neely is the newly retired Vice President and Academic Dean of Moody Theological Seminary. He will stay on as Adjunct Professor of Biblical Interpretation, Old Testament, and Biblical Preaching at Moody Bible Institute.
