Summary

Our intrepid podcasters set out to answer one of life’s most pressing questions: Mello Yello® or Mountain Dew®? This specific gastronomic dilemma should quickly identify today’s special guest. Kevin DeYoung’s dietary list may read like the kid’s menu at Denny’s®, but his theological scholarship is unparalleled. The famed pastor, professor, and author once again places his reputation at risk to visit with Spin-Meisters Carl and Todd. Dr. DeYoung is one of the speakers for the 2023 Philadelphia Conference on Reformed Theology (PCRT) in East Lansing, MI, and Bryn Mawr, PA. On today’s episode, Kevin discusses this year’s theme—Here We Stand: The Five Solas of the Reformation—as he deftly avoids questions about fine cigars and chicken nuggets. Alliance Publishing congratulates our winners of copies of the book Our Sovereign God, edited by James Montgomery Boice: *Daniel B. from Winfield, IL *Brian R. from Greenville, SC *William L. from Auburn, AL

1:09.7	Carl, good to see you again.
1:28.9	As exciting as it would be, I would love to talk to you about the weather, but I think that's kind of what we do every time. I will just say that the distance between us is always a comfort for me. It's good to see your face, but knowing that you're far away is also kind of surprisingly comforting to me, Carl. I just want you to know that.
1:35.3	Do you know, Todd? We had a letter come to the head office yesterday that I responded to by Bob from a very well-meaning listener who loves the program, who was concerned that I always
1:40.9	put you down on the program. I have delight.
1:46.4	One of my response was this.
1:48.6	I think Todd does give as good as he gets.
1:51.7	So I'm glad that without prompting, you put me down.
1:57.4	I went on to make the point that actually it's not a sign of contempt.
1:59.8	It is a sign of respect and affection.
2:02.9	I'd like a copy of that letter, actually, Carl. It is a sign of respect and affection. I would, I'd like a copy of that letter. I think it was a very nice letter and I wrote a very, I hope, polite and unthoughtful response.
2:11.7	I'd be interested in doing a dramatic reading of that letter at some point. So I'd like to see it.
