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

Finding Freedom in Hope with Susie Larson; Growth from pain with Nicole Jacobsmeyer; and Defining Biblical Hope with Dr. Crawford Loritts

Today we concluded our theme week on Hope. We had a great conversation with radio host, speaker, and author Susie Larson.  She discussed how hope in Christ sets us free in the pain and keeps us in awe of God.  Dr. Crawford Loritts, President and Founder of Beyond Our Generation and host of Living a Legacy, helped us unpack the true definition of biblical hope and how to live it out.  Also, speaker and author Nicole Jacobsmeyer shared her personal story and the inspiration for her new book, "Something Will Grow: Finding God's Heart in the Soil of Suffering."  Finally, we recognized the 25th anniversary of 9-11 with a special poem written by Stacey Randall and narrated by the late Mike Kellogg.  You can hear the highlights of today’s program on the Karl and Crew Showcast.
