Victory over Time Wasting: Listener Testimonies & Standing Against Jew Hatred with Dr. Michael Rydelnik

Today, on Karl and Crew, we wrapped up our weekly theme,  “Redeeming Time.” Dr. Michael Rydelnik joined us to explain why rising Jew hatred must be called what it is, why believers should pray for the Jewish people, and how we can redeem every opportunity for the Lord. Dr. Rydelnik is the Professor Emeritus of Jewish Studies and Bible and the Adjunct Professor in the undergraduate program at Moody Bible Institute. Lana Silk also joined us to explain why Iran’s regime should not be trusted in negotiations, how the people are being pressured under the ceasefire, and how Transform Iran is preparing for open doors. Lana is the President and Chief Executive Officer of Transform Iran. Then we had Shawna Beyer join us to share how online shopping can waste time and reveal deeper lies, and how God’s truth helps renew our minds. Shawna is the host of the Jody and Shawna podcast. We then opened up the phone lines to hear from our listeners. We posed the question, "What has been the black hole for time in your life, and how have you found victory?" We invited our listeners to the “Redeem Time” Challenge to encourage you to use your time more intentionally and spiritually, focusing on productivity, purpose, rest, and honoring God, rather than wasting it. You can hear the highlights of today’s program on the Karl and Crew Showcast.
