Mortification Of Spin

Hosts Carl Trueman and Todd Pruitt discuss the evangelical fascination with being cool.  The problem with being cool is that it is the overarching culture or zeitgeist that determines what is cool and what is not. Christians are called to be conformed to the image of the Son and this implies some very uncool ramifications which come in for consideration during this interesting conversation. Mentioned on The Birth of the CoolGod's Words: Studies of Key Bible Themes by J.

Hosts Carl Trueman and Todd Pruitt discuss the tragedy of suffering in a fallen world. While recognizing the reality of natural evil (such as illness and earthquakes), the conversation focuses on moral evil in which human beings inflict on one another intentional malice. The truth of the matter is that we live in a world where evil things happen.   Mentioned on The King’s Court JesterA Place for Weakness: Preparing Yourself for Suffering

Hosts Carl Trueman and Todd Pruitt have a friendly conversation about things that matter.  In this episode the hosts discuss the temptation for Christians to poorly imitate the cultural fashions of the world around them.  Rather, Christians are called to fulfill their callings as unto the Lord.  The conversation then turns to the nature of sanctification or how the Christian relates to the OT law.  Is sanctification simply a matter of getting used to one’s justification or does it involve a daily dying to sin and living to righteousness? Mentioned in Rock Star Pastors in Las VegasLeft Behind filmLuther's Legacy: Salvation and English Reformers, 1525-1556Jesus + Nothing = EverythingThe Book of Concord: The Confessions of the Evangelical Lutheran ChurchThe Creedal Imperative
