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. 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 Carl Truman, who is professor at Grove City College in Western Pennsylvania. Carl, good to see you. Now, Carl, earlier as we were talking, and of course, I can see you via the |
1:12.9 | wonderful technology that we have in front of us. You are wearing a shirt that brings a tear to my |
1:21.3 | eye. I am a native of Texas. Though I live in Virginia, I love Virginia. It's a wonderful, |
1:30.0 | it's a wonderful suburb of Texas. You know, there's a, there's a place, you know, |
1:34.9 | there will always be a piece of my heart in, in the lone star state. And I have to say |

2:35.1 | front wearing this rainbow sweater, all kinds of jokes being made. So somebody took pity on me. |
2:41.3 | And at lunchtime, I was presented with a couple of shirts that he'd gone out and bought, |
2:45.8 | one of which has the Texas flag on the back. So in the afternoon, I got up on stage wearing my rainbow sweater. |

3:00.0 | It reminded me of that impromptu Willie Nelson concert I happened to be present at in Billy Bob's |
