0:00.0	Welcome to Mortification of Spin, a casual conversation about things that count.
0:21.7	With Carl Truman, Todd Pruitt, and Amy Bird, Mortification of Spin is a weekly podcast from the Alliance of Confessing Evangelicals.
0:30.6	Let's join this week's conversation.
0:36.8	Music Well, thank you for joining us today for Mortification of Spin.
0:47.2	This is Todd Pruitt, and I'm joined as always by Amy Bird and Carl Truman.
0:51.7	And today we are pleased to have a special guest that we have been looking

1:50.1	Yes.
1:50.4	I wonder if you would take just a moment to let our listeners know just a little bit about
1:55.8	your background, because part of what is so compelling about the book is the opening chapter where you
2:03.3	explain kind of where you're coming from and your background, which is a fascinating and
2:08.3	pretty unique story.
