Karl and Crew: sharing spiritual encouragement, fresh conversation, and the power of prayer

September 03, 2026

Today, on Karl and Crew, we continued our weekly theme, “Back to School.” Moody Bible Institute staff joined us today. Dr. Gerald Peterman, Professor of Bible and Field Chair of Bible and Theology, shared how Scripture helps us process suffering, lament honestly, and care well for others who are hurting. Next, Dr. Travis Williamson, Associate Professor of Applied Linguistics, shared what he teaches in his classes, explaining how linguistics helps cross language barriers and translate Scripture faithfully. Afterward, Dr. Brian Kammerzelt, Program Head and Professor of Communications, explained why Christian communication should be shaped by theology, not simply trends, technology, or audience engagement. You can hear the highlights of today’s program on the Karl and Crew Showcast.
