About this episode

The episode discusses living an authentic faith at home and the role of the Holy Spirit in discipleship.

Today, on Karl and Crew, we continued our weekly theme, “Discipleship.” Jim Daly joined us to talk about the spiritual landscape facing families today and how parents can live an authentic faith that draws their children toward Christ rather than pushing them away. Jim is the President and Chief Executive Officer of Focus on the Family and the host of the podcast. We then had Dr. Ronald Sauer join us to explain why the Holy Spirit is essential to the Christian life, guiding believers into truth, empowering daily obedience, and giving parents hope as they pray for their children. Dr. Sauer is the host of the podcast “ Quiet Time ” and has served as a Professor of Bible and Greek at Moody Bible Institute for 35 years.
