National Marriage Week with Arlene Pellicane & Update from Iran with Lana Silk

Today, on Karl and Crew, we kicked off our weekly theme of “Marriage and Family” with conversations with Arlene Pellicane about the biblical principles of marriage and the fact that marriage is God’s design. Arlene is a speaker, author and host of the Happy Home podcast. She is also a marriage and parenting expert. Arlene has written several books, including “Making Marriage Easier: How to Love (and Like) Your Spouse for Life.” Then we had Dr. Crawford Lorritts join us to discuss the importance of men’s discipleship for godliness. Dr. Loritts is the President and Founder of Beyond Our Generation, an organization committed to helping the next generation of Christian leaders. He is a nationally known speaker, author, mentor and the former Senior Pastor of Fellowship Bible Church in Roswell, Georgia. Then Lana Silk joined us to share an update from Iran. Lana is the President and Chief Executive Officer for Transform Iran, a Christian organization that shares the gospel in Iran. Lana passionately works to help bring freedom to the people of Iran through ministry and humanitarian aid.
