  • The Truth Behind the Ceasefire in Iran with Lana Silk & When Your Faith Feels Stuck with Dr. Winfred Neely
    Apr 10 2026

    Today, on Karl and Crew, we wrapped up our weekly theme, “Hope Rising,” with conversations about how we find hope in every aspect of life. Lana Silk joined us to share what’s really happening in Iran during the ceasefire, why it is concerning, and how believers are holding onto hope in Christ despite intense persecution. Lana is the President and CEO of Transform Iran, with over 20 years of experience in marketing and a passion for helping voices be heard. Born in Iran and educated in the UK, she has also served in ministry as a worship leader and college chaplain with a focus on youth and mental health. We then had Dr. Winfred Neely join us to discuss the danger of spiritual plateauing, the call to keep growing in Christ, and finding true hope in Jesus rather than in our own feelings. Dr. Neely is the retired Vice President and Academic Dean of Moody Theological Seminary and serves as Professor Emeritus of Old Testament, Biblical Interpretation, and Preaching at Moody Bible Institute. He has pastored several churches in the Chicago area, served as a missionary pastor to Senegal, and teaches globally through ministry and conferences. He is the author of “How to Overcome Worry – Experiencing the Peace of God in Every Situation.” We then turned to the phone lines to hear from our listeners. We asked the question, “Do you have a time recently where you’ve plateaued in an area spiritually, and the Holy Spirit showed you what needed to change?” You can hear the highlights of today’s program on the Karl and Crew Showcast.

    Apr 8 2026

    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. Learn more at Cold-Case Christianity. 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.

    Apr 9 2026

    Today, on Karl and Crew, we continued our weekly theme, “Hope Rising,” with conversations about how we find hope in every aspect of life. Leonard Tinnell joined us to share his story of going from a life without hope to finding hope in Christ, and how God’s faithfulness does not always change our circumstances right away, but works over time to fulfill His purpose. Leonard is a pastor and church planter at Reach City Church, an apologist, and an emerging theologian based in Cleveland, Ohio. He also holds a Bachelor of Science in Religion with a minor in Biblical Studies and a Master of Arts in Christian Apologetics from Liberty University. Kathi Lipp joined us to share how overwhelming seasons can drain our hope, how she held on to hope through God’s Word, prayer, and community, and how addressing clutter can bring peace and clarity to everyday life. Kathi is an author, speaker, blogger, and host of “Clutter Free Academy the Podcast!” She also runs the Facebook group “Clutter Free Academy.” She is the author of “Clutter Free” and “The Get Yourself Organized Project.” We then turned to the phone lines to hear from our listeners.
