Today, on Karl and Crew, we continued our weekly theme, “Hope Rising,” with conversations about how we find hope in every aspect of life. Today, we focused on the hope, joy, and peace that come from trusting in God, based on Romans 15:13. J. Warner Wallace joined us to share how applying cold-case detective skills to the Gospels reveals compelling evidence for Christianity and a hope that is grounded in truth. Wallace is a Dateline-featured cold-case homicide detective, bestselling author, and national speaker. He is also a Christian apologist, Senior Fellow at the Colson Center, and adjunct professor of apologetics at Talbot School of Theology, Gateway Seminary, and Southern Evangelical Seminary.

We then had Jill Savage join us to share how unrealistic expectations and misplaced hope contributed to deep disappointment in her marriage, and how holding on to hope in Christ led to healing and restoration. Jill Savage is an author, blogger, international speaker, and leads the ministry Hearts at Home. She also hosts the “No More Perfect” podcast and wrote “No More Perfect Marriages: Experience the Freedom of Being Real Together.” We also had some fun with “Ally Thinks It’s Funny.” You can hear the highlights of today’s program on the Karl and Crew Showcast.

Today, on Karl and Crew, we continue our weekly theme, “Hope Rising,” with conversations about how we find hope in every aspect of life. Today, we focused on suffering, specifically Romans 5:1–5. Susie Larson joined us to discuss how God uses suffering to build character, why it is part of the Christian life, and the difference between holy lament and dark sorrow. Susie is the host of “Susie Larson Live,” a national speaker, and a bestselling author. We then had Abdu Murray join us to discuss his journey from Islam to Christianity, what it cost him, and what makes Christianity fundamentally different from every other religion. Abdu is a speaker, author, and attorney who addresses issues where religious faith and emerging cultural trends intersect. He is the President of Embrace the Truth. We then turned to the phone lines to hear from our listeners. We asked the question, “What character did God produce in you through suffering that gives you hope?” You can hear the highlights of today’s program on the Karl and Crew Showcast.
