Welcome to Mortification of Spin, a casual conversation about things that count with Carl Truman,

Todd Pruitt, and Amy Bird. Mortification of Spin is a weekly podcast from the Alliance of Confessing Evangelicals.

This week, the gang talks about the doctrine and history of the Lord's Supper.

Let's listen in as Todd, Amy, and Carl discuss Christ's presence in this sacrament

and see how partaking in communion enriches and nourishes us spiritually.

So Carl and Amy, as you know, I'm a pastor in the PCA.

I'm a influential man, a man of great influence.

When I speak, people tend to listen, just like you all are right now.

Sorry, Todd.

Did you say something?

And as a pastor of PCA church, we, of course, do what Christian churches are supposed

to do.

We have the Lord's Supper.

And as a PCA church, you know, we're cutting edge.

We've just added a salad bar to the Lord's Supper.

It's complete with shredded romaine and that chocolate pudding stuff with cookies and cream and macaroni salad,

that sort of thing.

But we did want to just kind of pick each other's brains on the sole subject of the Lord's

supper.

Some of us, in fact, I think all three of us were raised Baptist and we became Presbyterian,

and there's some difference in approaches there, maybe some difference in practice, certainly some difference in theology of the Lord's Supper.
