The 5 Apology Languages with Dr. Gary Chapman & What Americans Believe About the Supernatural with Dr. John Plake

Today, on Karl and Crew, we wrapped up our weekly theme, “Risk Taking and Walking by Faith.” Dr. John Plake, a Chief Innovation Officer at American Bible Society, discussed findings from the State of the Bible report, exploring Americans' beliefs about the supernatural and opportunities to share the gospel. Dr. Gary Chapman, author of The Five Love Languages, discussed his book The 5 Apology Languages, explaining what makes an apology sincere and how taking responsibility and seeking forgiveness can strengthen relationships. We then turned to our listeners and asked, “Tell us something that happened in your life that revealed an area of vulnerability?” You can hear the highlights of today’s program on the Karl and Crew Showcast.
