Today, on Karl and Crew, we continued our weekly theme of ‘Prosperity’ with the passage Mark 4:26-29. This passage focuses on the kingdom of God's function: spreading the gospel. This function is illustrated by comparing the growth and nourishment of seeds that eventually become grain for the harvest. We also replayed an interview with Ben Fuller, where he shared his freedom story and how God changed his heart after years of drug and alcohol abuse. Ben Fuller is a contemporary Christian music singer-songwriter who uses his testimony in his songs. He has a passion and mission to share his story with the world and all who are ready to listen. We also turned to the phone lines to ask listeners to tell us about a time that they were in church but not in Christ. We then asked them to share how the Lord opened their eyes to see that they weren’t walking with Him. You can hear the highlights of today's program on the Karl and Crew Showcast.
