Today's podcast is sponsored by the Philadelphia Conference on Reformed Theology,

coming soon to Grand Rapids in Philadelphia.

Listen for more at the end of the program. Welcome to Mortification of Spin, a casual conversation about things that count with Carl Truman and Todd Pruitt.

Mortification of Spin is a weekly podcast from the Alliance of Confessing Evangelicals.

Let's join this week's conversation.

You are listening to Mortification of Spin.

My name is Todd Pruitt, and I am joined as always by my co-host, Carl Truman.

And we are here to continue to dip our toes into dangerous waters and taking the risk,

because we are brave and courageous men, taking the risk at being

cancelled by an angry culture. And, you know, really, Carl, the only reason why I'm holding off on

writing books right now. So I'm just a little concerned as to how Amazon will treat me. Otherwise,

I think I'd be just a flow of literary output at this

point. Yeah, I think you could lose millions. If you miss time this, Todd, you will lose millions of

dollars. That's right. That's right. Definitely think that that book on baptism that you've been working

on for the last 25 years is, well, you know, I would burn so many bridges.

And given the fact that I want my Baptist brothers and sisters to flourish,

I don't want to hurt them by releasing a defense of infant baptism.

But who knows?

Who knows?

We'll see.

Now, Carl, I want us to talk about two things that have just come up over the last couple of weeks that have garnered some attention. And I want to talk about them ultimately from the standpoint of what Christians who are mindful of remaining faithful in these days, what we can learn from these things and how we can be challenged to remain faithful. But the first issue I want to talk about made quite a lot of

news. Max Lakedo, of course, an extremely well-known figure in evangelicalism for a lot of years.
