Today, on Karl and Crew, we continued our Founder’s Week with Katy Nichole as she joined us a day before she performs at the closing session of Founder’s Week on Friday night. She shared with us about her walk with Christ and how music has been a massive part of it. Katy is a singer, songwriter, and performer. She has received multiple awards and nominations, including the Gospel Music Association’s 2023 New Artist of the Year, K-LOVE Fan Award, and a Billboard Chartbreaker title. Her debut album, “Jesus Changed My Life,” made her one of the fastest-rising artists in Christian music. Craig Thompson then joined us to discuss the importance of fighting for your family rather than against them. Craig is a disciple, husband, father, and pastor. He is the pastor of Malvern Hill Baptist Church in Camden, South Carolina. His mission is to equip families with the tools needed to battle spiritual warfare. He has written the book “Fighting for Your Family,” which provides a holistic approach for handling family matters as Christians. Then we had Ron Hutchcraft join us to reminisce about his experience with Founder’s Week when he was a student at Moody Bible Institute, and he also talked about the importance of staying in touch with Jesus throughout the day. Ron is the chairman of Ron Hutchcraft Ministries. He is also an international speaker, evangelist, author, and radio host. He is also the co-founder of On Eagle Wings, an outreach by Native Americans to Native Americans. He is also the author of the books “A Life That Matters” and “Hope When Your Heart is Breaking.” We then had Asheritah CiuCiu join us to talk about the importance of personal devotions/ quiet times with the Lord.

She also has a YouTube Channel where she posts guided prayers, bible tips, and other resourceful videos.

Chip Ingram joined us on Sunday to remind us that just as we have dreams in our hearts for our children, so does Jesus for his Church. He longs to see high-impact churches across the globe. When his children become mature disciples, his dream becomes reality.
How's your joy tank doing? Are you living at full or are you running on empty? Author and speaker Chip Ingram quotes C.S. Lewis as saying, "Joy is the serious business of heaven." If you've lost the joy in life, Chip was in that same place. He was grumpy and negative about his circumstances. But one chapter in the New Testament started him on a new path. Hear about his change of perspective on Chris Fabry Live. Featured resource:I Choose Joy by Chip Ingram October thank you gift:I Choose Joy by Chip Ingram Chris Fabry Live is listener-supported.

There has been a dramatic shift in the family dynamic over the last 50 to 60 years. Back then, men typically went to work to earn money, while women managed the house and cared for the kids. In this program, Chip Ingram raises a few vital questions: how does this traditional structure compare to the realities of how families function now? And what does the Bible have to say about the roles men and women play in their households? Join us for those profound answers!Introduction:“Relationships just don't work well when the man neglects to take the lead when he should, neglects to make decisions at home, and fails to be proactive in his involvement with his family.” -“Passive Men, Wild Women” by Pierre MornellFighting lies with truthLie #12 (for men):Husbands are to earn the money and wives are to take care of the kids and the house.The truth:As a husband, I am the SERVANT LEADER in our home. I am responsible to provide for and protect my family's physical, spiritual, and emotional needs, as I MODEL Jesus every day.Key verse:Ephesians 5:1-2Lie #13 (for women):My husband is almost like another child I have to take care of. If I didn't handle our finances, the house, our children, and major decisions, this place would fall apart tomorrow.The truth:When I take care of everything myself, I'm actually usurping my husband's GOD-GIVEN role.

When tackling an important project, it is natural to want to divide all the tasks fairly, so everyone shares the responsibilities and weight of the job. However, in this program, Chip Ingram cautions that while that strategy may be successful in the workplace, it often causes stress, burnout, and resentment at home. Hear what God's Word says about an all-in partnership with your spouse, that is deeply rewarding and life-giving.Fighting lies with truthLie #6:Marriage is a 50-50 proposition. As long as everyone does their part everything will be okay.The truth:Marriage is a 100%-100% proposition. It is an UNCONDITIONAL commitment to an imperfect person. It's giving the other person what they need the MOST, when they DESERVE it the least, at great PERSONAL COST.Key verse:John 13:34-35Lie #7:Marriage shouldn't be this difficult. No matter how hard I work it seems like we always have issues to work through. I really wonder if it's worth it.The truth:Everything of great value requires COMMITMENT, SACRIFICE, and PERSEVERANCE. As my spouse and I face challenges and overcome them, our intimacy and joy will far outweigh our present problems.Key verse:Galatians 6:9Lie #8:I've tried hard to make this marriage work, but it's too far gone. God wants me to be happy and I know He'll understand if I get a divorce.The truth:God HATES divorce. No marriage is beyond repair.

Summary: In this episode, Michael sits down with author and pastor Chip Ingram to explore what it means to choose joy—especially when life feels heavy. Chip shares how biblical joy is more than an emotion; it's a deliberate choice rooted in Christ, not our circumstances. Drawing from Philippians, he describes Paul's example of rejoicing in chains and challenges listeners to shift their perspective from personal comfort to God's purposes. Chip also recounts his own battle with discouragement during COVID—how exercise, worship, and helping others lifted him from a dark place and unexpectedly sparked a global pastoral training initiative that reached hundreds of thousands. Together, Michael and Chip address the struggle many face in finding purpose later in life, especially after retirement. They outline practical ways to identify God-given passions and live on mission, no matter the season. Finally, Chip offers a compelling picture of biblical hope—not wishful thinking, but confident expectation in Christ's return and Eden restored. This eternal perspective reframes suffering and anchors our joy in what's ahead rather than what we see now. Takeaways: Biblical joy comes from Christ and must be intentionally chosen, not based on circumstances or emotions. Paul's example in prison shows that joy grows when we focus on God's purposes instead of our own comfort. Discouragement can be fought through practical steps like exercise, worship, and serving others. Our God-given purpose continues into every season of life, even after retirement. Honest community and accountability help clarify calling and sustain long-term joy.

The Scientific Revolution was birthed by Christian scientists: Isaac Newton, Blaise Pascal, Johannes Kepler, & Robert Boyle Did Jesus actually live? For more evidence see the book, Jesus Skeptic: A Journalist Explores the credibility and Impact of Christianity by John S. Dickerson How do we know what Jesus actually said? There are more ancient manuscripts of the Bible than any other ancient literature in the world. What did Jesus say? "But you will receive power when the Holy Spirit has come upon you, and you will be My witnesses in Jerusalem and in all Judea and Samaria, and to the end of the earth." -Acts 1:8 Why does Jesus' movement keep growing? Jesus is the only one who can: Change human nature from the inside out. Jesus is the only one who can: Transform hearts. Jesus is the only one who can: Reconnect us to God. God uses ordinary people who truly believe the words of Jesus to do extraordinary things.

In this program, Chip tells us the integrity of the Christian message hinges on the resurrection of Jesus. He continues his look, that began in our previous program, at the proofs that Jesus is who He said He is…that He's God, that He rose from the dead, and is alive today.

In this program, Chip tells us the integrity of the Christian message hinges on the resurrection of Jesus. If Jesus didn't rise from death to life, none of the other tenets of the faith matter. Well, you gotta live before you can die. So, Chip begins with a look at the proofs of Christ's life in Israel, and what the historical record says.Main Points Did Jesus really exist?

Creation versus evolution: the never-ending debate, right? So many want us to believe that science and faith are incompatible. But what if they're not? What if science actually supports faith and what if faith actually informs science? Chip provides helpful insight to the current debate, in a time when the disagreements are more intense than ever.Main Points Defining our terms: Microevolution: The small changes that only happen within a species. Some examples of microevolution are the mosquito's ability to resist DDT after years of exposure, and the ability of different bacterial strains to resist penicillin. Macroevolution: The vertical transition between species (from one kind of species to another kind) evolving to account for all animal and human life. Creation: The belief that God created all things out of nothing, as described in the Bible in the book of Genesis. All of life in its rich complexity happened as the result of the all-powerful, all-knowing, sovereign God of the universe who is Maker of heaven and earth, of all things visible and invisible. Today's four major positions: Group 1: Classic Creationism - The literal biblical account Group 2: Classic Evolution - Random change and natural selection Group 3: Theistic Evolution - God-supervised evolution Group 4: Intelligent Design - A designer of some kind How did life begin? Evolution: Life's beginning was unsupervised, impersonal, unpredictable, a natural process. The beginning of life was random, undirected without either plan or purpose. Creation: Defined by the Bible. God spoke. Why did life begin? Evolution: Life began as a pure accident. It was random chance. There was no design, no plan, no meaning, no emotions, no purpose, and no value. Creation: You are the special creation of a good and all-powerful God. You are the climax of His creation. Not only is your kind unique, but you are unique among your kind. How did various plants and animals develop? Evolution: A simple cell evolved to more complex plants and animals through the process of time, chance, natural selection, mutations, and survival of the fittest over a period of billions of years. Creation: God created various plants, animals, kinds, and species in a harmonic balance to reflect His attributes and character. Complexity of Life Cells: Thanks to today's more powerful microscopes, we know that a single-cell organism, the most basic unit of any living thing, is incredibly complex. DNA: Is like the software of the cell, the computer program that makes it work. In fact, if you took a tablespoon and filled it to the top with this DNA, your tablespoon could contain the precise instructions to build every single species of organism that has ever existed on the planet. Astronomy: “Astronomers now find they have painted themselves into a corner because they have proven, by their own methods, that the world began abruptly in an act of creation to which you can trace the seeds of every star, every planet, every living thing in this cosmos and on the earth. And they have found that all this happened as a product of forces they cannot hope to discover. That there are what I or anyone would call supernatural forces at work is now, I think, a scientifically proven fact.” - Robert Jastrow Broadcast Resource Download Free MP3 Message Notes Resource Page Additional Resource Mentions Why I Believe & Jesus Skeptic Book Bundle About Chip Ingram Chip Ingram’s passion is helping Christians really live like Christians.

Did you know that some of the most severe critics of evolution are not Christians, not creationists, but leading scholars…non-believing, scholars who say the scientific evidence simply doesn't support evolution? Chip explains that the premise that science and faith are mutually exclusive is patently false!Main Points Defining our terms: Microevolution: The small changes that only happen within a species.

Do you believe in heaven and hell? Are they specific places or just concepts? Is there any real evidence that points to a literal heaven and a literal hell? Chip explains what the Bible actually teaches about hell. And answers the serious question: How could a loving God send people to hell? Chip brings clarity and helpful insight.Main Points 7 Evidences of Life after Death: Nature Anthropology Psychology Ethics Philosophy Science: Near-Death Experience Jesus and the Bible Four basic truths At death, every person's soul enters immediatelyand consciously into relational aspects of eternal existence. One day, everyone will be resurrected and live forever. Every person will be judgedand granted the “extended capacity” to fulfill in eternity the deepest yearnings and desires of their heart while on earth. Every person will spend eternity in heaven with Christ and fellow believers, or in hell separated from God forever. Why there must be a Hell: Man's dignity and freedom demands a Hell. God's holiness and justice demand a Hell. Sin's seriousnessdemands a Hell. Evil's defeat demands a Hell. Conclusion: Will your eternal future be a blissful adventure or a horrible choice?

When you breathe your last breath and close your eyes one final time, what happens next? People are fascinated by that question. Is there life after death? Is it just lifeless, nothingness?

If you've ever wondered if the Bible is true – this program is for you. Chip puts the Bible on trial and lays out a case for the authenticity of scripture. He presents evidence that the Bible, as we have it today, IS reliable. And is the true, Word of God - just as meaningful to us, as it was to its first readers.Main Points Five plaguing questions about the Bible: Is the Bible the word of men or the very words of God? Is the Bible full of myths, legends, and fairytales, or is it historically reliable? Is all of the Bible true and trustworthy or only portions of it? Can a Bible that has been translated so many times, for so many hundreds of years, really be accurate? What makes the Bible so different from all other religious writings and their claims to truth? 7 Reasons why I believe in the Bible: ARCHEOLOGY – The Bible is a historically accurate document. REVELATION – The Bible claims to infallibly reveal the very words and mind of God. ORIGIN – The Bible is unique. Its origin, structure, and unity argue for a supernatural authorship. JESUS – believed the Old Testament to be the very Words of God and predicted the New Testament to be likewise. PROPHECY – sets the Bible apart from all other Religions. TRANSMISSION – The Bible's purityand perseverance throughout the centuries is nothing short of miraculous. IMPACT – The Bible's power to transform lives is overwhelming.

In this program, Chip asks: Is it intellectually feasible to believe that a collection of sixty-six manuscripts, by forty different authors, written in three languages, over a period of fifteen hundred years could actually be the very words of God?

Have you ever had an experience that changed your opinion or attitude on something? I mean, you thought you knew all the facts—until you went through a situation that completely changed your mind. In this program, guest teacher John Dickerson will do that by sharing two powerful testimonies that'll touch your heart.Main Points Three basic evidence categories to know that Jesus' radical claims are true: ANCIENT evidence – historical writers (Josephus, Suetonius, Tacitus, etc.) EXTERNAL evidence – an objective human record of Christ's impact on humanity. INTERNAL evidence – this is evidence that can only be known through experience. The power of “currents” In life we get carried along by different currents: Popularity, achievement, material possessions, relationships These currents while alluring and momentarily satisfying, are actually taking us into anxiety and we can't get out. You'll never know for sure if the ‘current' of Jesus will carry you to fulfillment unless you get into it. The “current” available to everyone: John 3:16 This “current” is the only one that brings salvation to anyone who believes. Jeremiah 29:13 Matthew 11:28 The fulfillment of Jesus is found in the space between religion and relationship.

The current moral decline and theological compromise among Christians is no longer concerning – it's alarming. We see division and false teaching, even in the Church itself. What can those who care do? In this program, Chip explains how can we stand for biblical truth and winsomely communicate, even regarding controversial issues, with love and integrity - just like Jesus did.Main Points Rethinking our communication Yesterday: Apologetics were about what we believe and why. And it was aimed at answering the skeptic's questions. Today: We need to aim apologetics first and foremost toward believers, especially young people. Yesterday: We needed to master facts, data, and history to intellectually prove what we believe is true. Today: We need to model a concerned and compassionate life-style that proves that what we believe is actually relevant. Yesterday: We needed to win the debate. Today: We need to win an audience. Yesterday: We communicated on a level playing field that presumed TRUTH was an objective reality. Today: We communicate on the shifting sands of TRUTH as a subjective reality. Yesterday: The Church and the culture shared a general knowledge of the Bible. Today: Both the Church and the world are biblically illiterate. Yesterday: Committed Christian men or women were admired. Today: Committed Christian men or women have been called “dangerous”. Yesterday: We could begin with the truth and then express grace. Today: We must begin with grace in order to share the truth. Yesterday: The moral climate and the values of major institutions like education, medicine, and the media reinforced our values. Today: The moral climate of major institutions challenge and ridicule our our faith. What this means for you: The early Church had a living hope. --1 Peter 1:1-3 They believed they had an inheritance. --1 Peter 1:4, 6 We need to be sober in our thinking. --1 Peter 1:13-15 We need to have a faith that is rooted in eternity that leads to living a holy life, which leads to a fervent love for others. --1 Peter 1:22-23 Get rid of all hypocrisy, get rid of anger, and stop blaming. --1 Peter 2:1-2 Have lips of praise and encouragement. --1 Peter 2:20-24 The number one apologetic is your life. It's a holy life, with an eternal perspective, that's radically loving. --1 Peter 3:8-9 Broadcast Resource Download Free MP3 Message Notes Resource Page Additional Resource Mentions Why I Believe & Jesus Skeptic Book Bundle About Chip Ingram Chip Ingram’s passion is helping Christians really live like Christians.
