About this episode

Today, on Karl and Crew, we continued our weekly theme of “Back to School” with some of the professors and staff from the Moody Bible Institute (MBI). First, we had Dr. Elizabeth Smith join us to talk about her Social Work Practices course and new 3-year online degree programs available at Moody. Dr. Smith is the Associate Dean of Academics for Moody Online and the Program Head of the Children and Family Ministry. She is also a Professor for Moody Online and on the Chicago campus. We then had Allie Marie Smith join us to discuss the effects of social media on our mental health. Allie is an award-winning author, speaker, entrepreneur, life coach, and podcast host. She is also the founder and CEO of Wonderfully Made, a non-profit that empowers girls and women to know their God-given value, identity, and purpose through flourishing lives and vibrant mental health. She is also the author of “Social Media Reset: A 30-Day Guided Journey to Unplug, Reconnect with God, Reclaim Your Joy.” We then discussed how, when we renew our minds, we will be able to discern the Will of God, and this is affirmed in Romans 12:1-2. Then we had Dr. William Washington join us to discuss the happenings at the MBI Chicago Campus. Dr. Washington is Vice President of Student Life and Enrollment at MBI. He oversees the departments of Academic Records, Admissions, Counseling, Residence Life, Health Service, Student Activities & Orientation, Food Service, Central Post Office, and Student Life.
