Moody Radio's Karl and Crew starts your day with spiritual encouragement, fresh conversation, and the power of prayer.

Addressing the Root of Addiction with Phil Kwiatkowski and Overcoming Food Addiction with Lori Ridder

Today, on Karl and Crew, we continued our weekly theme of “Overcoming” with a discussion about addiction. We turned to the phone lines to ask our listeners the question, “What did God use to help you conquer your addiction finally?” We then had Phil Kwiatkowski join us to talk about how the gospel breaks the stronghold of addictions because it addresses the root. 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 Lori Ridder join us to share her story of overcoming morbid obesity. Lori is the Executive Assistant to Karl at 180 Chicago, a multi-location church where Karl is Senior Pastor. As a member and women’s leader at 180 Chicago, Lori has led two successful webinars on the connection between faith and fitness, including her own journey, weight loss, spiritual growth, and life-long healthy choices.  If you're looking to hear a particular segment from the show, look at the following time stamps:
