What are the marks of maturity? Today on Karl and Crew, we continued discussing how to love like crazy. Our Scripture reference was 1 Corinthians 13:8-12. One mark of a mature Christ follower is their ability to show love in the face of hostility. Rather than having to always have the last word, sometimes we just have to get out of God's way and let Him work. This morning's guest was award-winning singer, songwriter, TV host, and author Babbie Mason. Her latest book is called, Each One Reach One: Everyday Ways You Can Shine God's Light.

Today on Karl and Crew, we delved further into our topic "Love Like Crazy," focusing on 1 Corinthians 13:4-7. When it comes to character flaws, we often focus on what needs to get out, when we should focus on what needs to get in. What we see as character flaws, God sees as love voids. When we allow ourselves to be filled with the love of God, we will see it overpower those undesirable behaviors. Don't be overwhelmed by what needs to change, be overcome by the one who can change you. Listen to the highlights of today's program on the Karl and Crew Podcast!

Tune in all week to hear more about how to love like crazy, and hear all the highlights on the Karl and Crew Podcast.

It's Freedom Friday with Karl and Crew! Today, we wrapped up our theme, "Shout Freedom." Have you ever found yourself trying to live out your faith in your own strength? You're not alone! Sometimes we fall back under the yolk of slavery, thinking we can pull ourselves up by our bootstraps. The Apostle Paul knew this well, as we read in Galatians 3:1-3 and 2 Corinthians 12. Praise God for His abundant grace! We talked with special guest Lori Ridder about her weight loss journey and her upcoming webinar called "Power in Weakness," beginning on September 26th at 7pmCT. The session is designed to empower you to embrace the strength and wisdom found through a deeper relationship with Jesus and the Holy Spirit. Check out the highlights of today's program on the Karl and Crew Showcast.

Are you a performance Christian? Today on Karl and Crew, we continued our weekly theme, "Shout Freedom." Our Scripture references were Galatians 6:14-16 and John 15. True freedom is found by staying connected to the vine, focusing on Christ and his finished work on the cross. It's not what we do--it's what He did. And on this 23rd anniversary of the 9/11 attacks, we featured a beautiful reading from the late Mike Kellogg called, "Meet Me in the Stairwell," based on the original poem by Stacey Randall. You can listen to that poem along with all the highlights of today's program on the Karl and Crew Showcast.
