Living a Life That Invites Others to Jesus & Living a Spirit-Empowered Life with Dr. Crawford Loritts

Today, on Karl and Crew, we wrapped up our weekly theme, “Impact Week.” Dr. Heather Holleman, the author of “Sent: Living a Life That Invites Others to Jesus,” shared how staying close to Jesus naturally opens doors to share the gospel, offering practical encouragement to see everyday conversations as opportunities to join God’s work. Then Crawford Loritts, the President and Founder of Beyond Our Generation, explored why many believers try to live the Christian life in their own strength and what Scripture teaches about walking in the power of the Holy Spirit. Additionally, Dr. Ronald Sauer, a retired Professor of Bible and Greek from the Moody Bible Institute, reflected on the often-overlooked ministry of the Holy Spirit, sharing how God’s Spirit guides, convicts, comforts, and empowers believers to follow Christ faithfully. We then turned to our listeners on the phone line and asked, "How has Jesus changed you?” You can hear the highlights of today’s program on the Karl and Crew Showcast.
