Summary

If you are looking to be inspired the Mortification of Spin team is on task to speak to your mind. In light of the release of “Heaven is For Real” last week, the team asks important questions about how the church should do evangelism. While Americans tend to be drawn toward the sensational and the inspiring, the Bible sufficiently teaches that the gospel is to be communicated by ordinary means. Think cross, not glitter. If you have enjoyed this weeks Bully Pulpit the Alliance of Confessing Evangelicals would like to offer The True Word by R.C. Sproul.

0:50.9	We're happy to say that that has been very clearly refuted last week by a wonderful
0:57.2	article on how Vogue models integrate their Christian faith with their job. So we're very happy
1:04.5	at this point in time to publicly concede that we got it completely wrong. Every square inchism
1:10.3	is not simply a monopoly of the
1:12.3	beautiful people. Vogue models are into it as well, apparently. Oh, and by the way, Carl, I've got a
1:19.2	hankering all of a sudden for a Bentley. I don't know where it came from, but I need one now.
1:24.2	I think it would massively improve you, Todd. I can actually see a good modeling career
1:29.2	for you. You know those before and after commercials? Ah, yeah. You're the before man. I'm definitely the
1:35.9	before the bitly. I looked like this. Yeah, exactly. Well, I think that, you know, I just wanted to
1:42.5	compliment you too for getting into the spirit.
1:44.8	I think the blonde tips that you guys have gotten on your new hairstyle really give you some street cred for this whole beautiful people.
1:52.9	Yeah, it took half an hour for them to do both of my hairs.
