101 Secrets for Your Twenties with Paul Angone & Born Again to a Living Hope with Colin Smith

Today, on Karl and Crew, we continued our weekly theme,  “Best of 1 Peter.” Paul Angone joined us to explain why your 20s can feel so difficult, how comparison can steal your focus, and how God uses the process to grow your character for your calling. Paul is a dynamic national keynote speaker, best-selling author, and organizational consultant, and has authored “101 Secrets for Your Twenties.” Dr. Ryan Cook also joined us to unpack 1 Peter 3 and explain how suffering with hope can serve as a platform for sharing Christ with gentleness and respect. Dr. Cook is a Professor of Old Testament and Hebrew at Moody Theological Seminary, is also a key writer for Today in the Word, and has a book coming out this June called “Talking with God: Daily Readings in the Psalms.” We then had Colin Smith join us to unpack 1 Peter 1:3-8, explaining how believers can rejoice in a living hope, even through trials, because Christ has secured an inheritance that cannot be taken away. Colin is a Senior Pastor Emeritus of The Orchard Evangelical Free Church and founder and teacher of a daily radio program called Open the Bible. You can hear the highlights of today’s program on the Karl and Crew Showcast.
