Summary

If you want a longer-than-usual discussion about football, you’ve come to the right episode. After ruminating on why Americans like football so much, the three amigos turn their attention to more familiar themes, prognosticating on which Christians around today will still be known 50 years from now. This leads to a subsequent discussion about strategy versus faithfulness, and then a final conversation about the missing piety in our age.

0:00.0	Greetings and salutations. Welcome to Life and Books and Everything.
0:17.4	Kevin DeYoung, and I'm joined with my good friends, Justin Taylor and Colin Hanson. I think I
0:25.2	used the wrong preposition there, joined by, with, among something. And I've done a few
0:32.5	podcasts of reading articles, but this is really the first official podcast of the new year. So glad to
0:38.8	have you with us. And I'm excited for the various people that I have lined up for this semester.
0:47.9	And as I've done before, really glad to start and end and in the middle and have various times with Justin and Colin.
0:57.0	So we'll get to them in our wonderful, what shall we call it, revelry in just a moment.
1:04.6	I do want to thank Crossway, our sponsor, and mention a new book by Gavin Ortland, Humility, the Joy of Self-Forgitfulness,
1:16.6	such a great phrase of what humility is. There's that famous line, at least I've always
1:24.0	paraphrased it this way from C.S. Lewis, that if you meet a truly humble person, you won't walk away thinking, wow, so humble as if they just drew attention to their
1:33.3	meekness, but rather you'd walk away saying, what a wonderful time it was, because you wouldn't
1:39.0	even realize that the other person had been focused on you and asked you good questions and was a
1:43.9	wonderful person to be around
1:46.1	the joy of self-forgetfulness. That's true humility. And in this book, Gavin encourages readers that
1:53.6	humility is not an abstract virtue, but a mark of gospel integrity. Looks at it on a personal level in the
1:59.7	context of the church. So you can look for this
2:03.2	wherever books are sold. You can go to crossway.org slash plus, get 30% off with your
2:08.2	Crossway Plus account. So, Colin and Justin, hello. Colin, how are you doing? If anyone's watching this, they see you are
2:19.8	dressed up rather nicely. Did you sleep in those clothes? Are you going back to church today?
2:25.6	It's a little more true than I want to admit right there. And I just want to acknowledge Justin
2:29.7	as wearing the official uniform of the state of Iowa, the hoodie.
2:37.0	I'm rocking the state of Iowa. The hoodie. I'm rocking the hoodie.
