Summary

Having narrowly escaped being held hostage at gunpoint, Carl and his partner-in-crime, Todd, sit down with Thaddeus Williams to discuss his latest book, Don't Follow Your Heart: Boldly Breaking the Ten Commandments of Self-Worship. Don't Follow Your Heart offers a compelling vision for the kind of Christianity that is truly countercultural, that rebels against the status quo, and offers something genuinely revolutionary. Thaddeus also tells the guys it's "an accessible and readable version of Carl's The Rise and Triumph of the Modern Self." Them's fightin' words! You won't want to miss this episode! Robert G. from New Holland, PA, Carl P. from White Post, VA, and Tracey L. from Chickamauga, GA were the winners of the giveaway of Thaddeus’ book, courtesy of Harper Collins Publishing. Congratulations! Show Notes: Thaddeus Williams’ website: https://jointheheretics.com/

1:25.0	Isn't that kind of what goes on in Western Pennsylvania?
1:26.7	It is strange banjo playing children who hang out in the woods and all kinds of creepy
1:32.7	stuff goes out.
1:33.4	That's what I thought.
1:34.2	That's what I thought.
1:35.4	It's kind of extension of Appalachia, which is really, well, in a lot.
1:39.0	I mean, your rust belt, your rust belt out there, aren't you?
1:42.6	It is.
1:43.4	Well, it's more agricultural, actually.
1:45.0	But it's pretty much like where I grew up in the UK. I grew up in farmland in the countryside.
1:49.4	Well, there you go. So other than, you know, having lived in Philadelphia for a while,
1:54.5	densely populated urban centers are not kind of your native territory. And the reason why I bring that up,
2:02.6	because without getting into the details, I just want to put it out there that Carl was in the,
