Summary

The Bible teaches that all people are created in the image of God, but how can believers remain firmly rooted in the imago Dei when culture is more confused than ever about issues of human dignity? Today’s guest, Lauren McAfee, along with co-editor David Dockery, gathered a team of expert collaborators to bring clarity and guidance from a biblical perspective as they explored what it means to be made in the image of God in their new book, Created in the Image of God: Applications and Implications for our Cultural Confusion. Lauren shares the compelling story of how she became interested in this subject with Carl and Todd and touches on many important issues discussed in the book. Forefront Books generously provided a few giveaway copies of Created in the Image of God for our listeners. Congratulations to Alexander T. from Altamonte Springs, FL, Jeremy H. from Madison Heights, VA, and Will K. from Charlotte, NC!

0:00.0	Welcome to Mortification of Spin, a casual conversation about things that count with Carl Truman and Todd Pruitt, a podcast of the Alliance of Confessing Evangelicals.
0:29.2	Let's join this week's conversation.
0:31.6	Thank you. You are listening to Mortification of Spin.
0:53.1	My name is Todd Pruitt. I'm the pastor of Covenant Presbyterian Church in Harrisonburg, Virginia. And I'm joined as always by my friend and co-host Carl Truman, who in addition to being a professor at Grove City College is also a fellow of various sorts and sundry organizations.
1:14.1	Frequently speaking in secret meetings in the Pentagon and MI5 and various other intelligence agencies around the world.
1:24.3	He can't even tell me at risk of death all that he does. But Carl, it's great to see
1:31.9	you as always. How's everything going? Now, are you currently underground in the Pentagon? Are you
1:37.4	back home in Western Pennsylvania? I'm back home in Western Pennsylvania, but I wasn't held up at
1:41.8	gunpoint this week. Oh, that's good. Those makes a change.
1:45.0	I'm always, you know, any week when I'm not held at gunpoint is a good week.
1:48.5	Let me ask you, Carl, you know, because we talked about this a few weeks ago, your, your, your experience being held at gunpoint.
1:54.9	Has that at all made you a little bit more, I don't know, have you warmed up a bit more of the potential
2:03.2	of becoming a gun owner, having a concealed carry license? Because I'm wanting to see kind of what
2:10.1	kind of progress you're making. Interesting. I actually think my experience that night was
2:14.6	it was sort of irrelevant to that question on the grounds that I
2:17.7	feel if I got out of the car with a gun on my hip, the guy would just have shot me. I don't
2:22.8	think he'd have hesitated. I think I wouldn't be dead. But if you were properly trained, Carl,
2:28.1	I think we could have fixed that, don't you think? I did the James Bond thing. I stood there in
2:31.9	my tuxedo, poured myself a martini, and talked him off the ledge.
2:38.0	Explain to him what a big mistake it would be to shoot you. You really don't want to do this, I said.
2:42.6	Say, you know, I've got friends in Washington, D.C. who are not allowed to tell anybody about what they actually do. They'll come for you if you harm you.
2:50.5	The president of Grove actually said to me, we need to sue this guy. You can't do that even in
