Being Prepared for the Unexpected with Kathi Lipp; Preparing for Jesus' Return with Dr. Winfred Neely; and Highlighting Powerful Stories of Women in the Bible with Kelli Worrall

Today, we conclude our theme "Preparation Week." Kathi Lipp, clutter-free expert, podcaster, and author, shared from her book, "Ready for Anything: Preparing Your Heart and Home for Any Crisis, Big or Small." Kelli Worrall, MBI Professor of Communications and Field Chair for the Music and Media Arts Division, discussed her book, "Pierced and Embraced." What are the unique, powerful, and complex ways in which Jesus loves the women of the Gospels?  Dr. Winfred Neely, Professor Emeritus and retired Dean of MBI Theological Seminary, helped us unpack Matthew 25 and the parable of the 10 virgins. How can we be spiritually prepared for Jesus' second coming?  You can hear the highlights of today's program on the Karl and Crew Showcast.
