Summary

Alisa Childers knows the difference between “live the truth” and “live your truth.” In her new book, the former ZOEgirl singer/songwriter explains how modern lies disguised as truth in today’s culture have taken hold in many churches. Does Scripture call Christians to “follow their hearts” and “make their dreams a reality?” Alisa points the way to freedom and relief from popular deceptions that can leave us anxious, exhausted, and self-obsessed. Congratulations to our winners of a copy of Alisa's book, Live Your Truth and Other Lies, courtesy of Tyndale Elevate: *Freddy F. from Jacksonville, AR *D.

0:54.0	You are listening to Mortification of Spin. My name is Todd Pruitt.

I want to say any guest who comes on
1:15.8	mortification to spend, you know, has to have a little bit of bravery, you know, because they
1:19.2	need to understand they're risking their reputation a little bit. There will be some people
1:23.3	in the Presbyterian Church in America who may not like them anymore, but others who will like them a lot.
1:29.2	So it's kind of a, you know, you give and take a little bit there.
1:32.5	But it's especially, I'm especially encouraged when a woman will come on with two guys who aren't always incredibly sensitive.
1:40.9	And, you know, you've got to have some thick skin because of how kind of mean-spirited we are
1:46.9	periodically, right, Carl? I mean, we're rather insensitive. We're kind of oafish, right?
1:53.1	Well, I'm English, so I'm emotionally two-dimensional. This is true. And I'm in the OPC, which means
1:58.3	I only need to connect with two emotions anyway, righteous indignation and anger.
2:02.9	I like that.
2:03.5	Both of which I've sort of mastered over the years.
2:05.8	That's awesome.
2:06.6	Well, I'm in the PCA, so nuance is the name of the game.
2:10.1	And I'm not always good at that.
