The Hospitality of Need with Kevan Chandler and Tommy Shelton & Abiding Dependence on God with Ron Block

Today, on Karl and Crew, we wrapped up our weekly theme, "Dependence on God." We were joined by Kevan Chandler, founder of We Carry Kevan, and Tommy Shelton, pastor of Live Oaks Bible Church. They discussed how our needs can invite deeper fellowship and dependence on God. They are the Author of “The Hospitality of Need.” Additionally, Ron Block, the author of “Abiding Dependence,” joined us to talk about abiding dependence and learning to live moment by moment in the love of God. Phil Shappard joined us to discuss the book he co-authored, “This Is Moody Radio,” and reflect on 100 years of Moody Radio’s gospel ministry. We then turned to our listeners on the phone line and asked, “How is God helping you today?”You can hear the highlights of today’s program on the Karl and Crew Showcast.
