We then had a conversation about how turning to the Lord brings clarity and understanding and “removes the veil”.

Today, on Karl and Crew, we kicked off our weekly theme of “Freedom” with a discussion about growing and walking in freedom with Christ. Through Christ, we are no longer bound by sin, and we have victory over it. We turned to Ephesians 3:20 and 2 Timothy 1:7, where it proclaims our strength over sin through Him. To walk with Christ freely, we must be able to identify and eradicate the shame and fear that come with sin. We shared a link to a quiz that helps you identify what’s holding you back. The quiz is based on Karl’s book, “The 7 Resolutions,” and it will show you results that reflect your most significant areas of strength and improvement. We then had Dr. Drew Dickens join us to discuss further updates from the world of AI and how it significantly impacts day-to-day tasks and can be utilized to aid in spiritual growth. Dr. Dickens is a visionary leader, AI expert, and scholar who has made significant contributions to the intersection of technology, spirituality, and faith-based engagement. He is also the founder of the Encountering Peace app and the Encounter Podcast, which provides biblical meditations, resources, and dialogue. Dr. Dickens has also authored the book “Whispers of the Spirit: A 40-Day Guide to Intimate Prayer.” You can hear the highlights of today's program on the Karl and Crew Showcast.
