Karl loves adventure. He completed the 1,100 mile Iditarod Trail Sled Dog Race at 18. But for over three decades, Karl has been on the most incredible adventure of life – following Jesus Christ and enjoying his promises. Karl's mission is "To inspire a spiritual revolution in the church that reaches the world."

Karl coached a multi-racial track team in South Africa. He launched two college/career ministries that thrived spiritually. Karl spoke nationally, with his wife Junanne, at marriage conferences with Family Life for 11 years and led a dynamic church that grew to be the largest in Alaska. This church was featured on the front page of the New York Times (Nov. 23rd, 2007) for its strategic outreach and innovation.

Karl is currently the weekday morning host on Moody Radio's "Karl & Crew Mornings," WMBI 90.1 FM, Chicago (5 am – 9 am). Karl is also the Lead Pastor of 180 Chicago. He is married to Junanne, and they have two adult children.
