Summary

On this week’s Desperate Theology, we crown another lucky lady! In other news, Carl & Todd have a question about preference in preaching: what’s the best rule-of thumb … is it best to preach thematically or systematically? Do you go big-picture, dabble in topics, or lead your congregation through a one-book series? What issues does each approach pose? It’s certainly not rocket science but well worth a conversation … (or are the boys making it more complicated than it needs to be?).The Alliance of Confessing Evangelicals has a few copies of "The Power of Gospel Preaching."The winners are:Jonathan S., Warrior, ALPete W., Bellingham, WADerrick B., Fort Oglethorpe, GAJoseph B., Doylestown, PA

0:00.0	Welcome to Mortification of Spin, a casual conversation about things that count with Carl Truman,
0:23.3	Todd Pruitt, and Amy Bird. Mortification of Spin is a weekly podcast from the Alliance of Confessing
0:30.1	Evangelicals. Preaching style is every pastor's choice, but what's best? Should you go topical,
0:37.3	expository, book by book? Carl and Todd
0:40.6	share their take on which way is the best way, or really is there a right or wrong way?

1:18.1	this week's nomination for Desperate Theologizer.
1:21.9	Amy, take it away.
1:23.0	Yeah, this week I want to introduce Jen Hatmaker.
1:26.1	She is a best-selling Christian woman's author,
1:29.3	and recently she's made some comments on Facebook that has upset a lot of evangelicals.
1:34.3	It's made some other ones applaud, but just being more accepting of homosexuality,
1:40.3	and she kind of lightens the whole sin issue there, doesn't even bring that part up, actually.
1:46.4	And I've been getting some mail about that, about how troubling her statement was.
1:50.7	And I just wanted to point out that she is a much more desperate theologizer.
1:55.7	I've been trying to say this, and this homosexuality statement is just a symptom of much more desperate theology.
2:02.5	So I was going to read from her book 7, and this is regarding the preached word,
