Summary

Dr. Miguel Núñez, Pastor for Preaching & Vision at IBI and President of Ministerios Integridad & Sabiduría, left his medical practice to follow his passion of preaching the Gospel. When COVID-19 broke out in 2020, he used his medical expertise to assess the situation for The Gospel Coalition. Now, one year later, he again offers his insights to you, along with a conversation about how the preaching of the Gospel is spreading in the Dominican Republic.

Life and Books and Everything is sponsored by Crossway, publisher of The Wisdom Pyramid: Feeding Your Soul in a Post-Truth World by Brett McCracken.

Helping believers navigate today’s media-saturated culture, Brett McCracken presents a biblical case for wisdom. Inspired by the food pyramid model, The Wisdom Pyramid challenges us to increase our intake of enduring, trustworthy sources while moderating our consumption of less reliable sources.

0:00.0	Greetings and salutations, loyal listeners, welcome back to life and books and everything.
0:16.6	This is Kevin D. Young, and I'm joined with Colin Hansen and Justin Taylor, who you will hear from shortly, and also our special guest, who I will introduce in just a moment.
0:28.1	We want to thank again, Crossway, for sponsoring this podcast.
0:32.4	Lots of good books coming out from Crossway. Today we want to highlight the newest from Brett McCracken, who always
0:39.9	is not only a good writer, but lots of thoughtfulness and looking at current events.
0:48.7	And for someone, Colin, you know, because he writes for TGC all the time, for someone who is so

1:41.2	make it. Sadly, I don't think that Northwestern winning the first three, losing 13 in a row,
1:48.1	and then winning the last three is going to do it.
1:51.1	And Nebraska is well cemented in the basement.
1:56.5	Any comments, Colin and Justin?
1:58.1	Let's just say I did not win the Life and Books and Everything tournament in football due to that loss to Michigan State that I do not want to talk about.
