Summary

Back in 2013, Carl and Todd launched Mortification of Spin with their first episode, "Rock Star Pastors in Las Vegas," sharing a microphone in a small underground bunker. All these years later, they no longer share a mic, but they're still going strong, celebrating their 500th first-run episode. Joining them for this momentous occasion are their good friends, Kevin DeYoung and Matt Eusey. After reminiscing about the early days, the conversation turns toward the importance of meaningful friendships. The guys consider the benefits of friendship and the current challenges we face as these most vital relationships have undergone a dramatic transformation. It really is important to have friends. It's not a sufficient condition for being faithful in ministry, but I do think it is a necessary condition, and it's really important to have people to know who you really are and [to] joke with, but also be challenged by, and know that they are looking over your shoulder in a good way. – Kevin DeYoung For best results, enjoy this special episode as a video podcast on YouTube. In honor of the 500th episode, we selected three listeners to receive a box of Mortification of Spin swag. Congratulations to Chris T. from Dallas, TX, Sumit B. from Sammanish, WA, and Greg P. from Greenville, SC!

0:31.6	Thank you. You are listening to Mortification of Spin.
0:51.8	My name is Todd Pruitt.

0:55.5	Church in Harrisonburg, Virginia, and I'm joined as always by my friend and co-host Carl Truman,
1:01.3	who teaches at Grove City College and travels the world and in general is just trying to fix
1:08.4	everything in the world, Carl. I'm grateful for your labors there.
1:12.5	Now, Carl, before we go any further, I think it's important to point something out as we,
1:17.7	as we consider the importance of various events throughout human history. And let's just,
1:22.3	let's just pay attention to those things that are most important in church history.
1:26.3	You know, you have the Nicene Creed.
1:28.4	So let's go back to the fourth century.
1:30.4	And you have, of course, the Protestant Reformation.
1:34.1	You have, you know, Martin Luther nailing the 95 theses to the door of the church there in Wittenberg in 1517.
1:41.9	And then you have this day, the day on which we record the 500th episode
1:52.9	of mortification of spin, surely a date that will go down as one of the more significant events in the history of the church.
2:04.1	And to think, Carl, we started this thing with just such meager, humble resources.
2:11.4	And here we are at the apex of podcasting elites.
2:22.0	I would say that you and I are viewed the world over as the true innovators of this media.

2:30.2	That kind of thing.
