Welcome to Mortification of Spin, a casual conversation about things that count with Carl Truman,

0:23.5

Todd Pruitt, and Amy Bird. Mortification of Spin is a weekly podcast from the Alliance of Confessing

Evangelicals. Amy, Todd, and Carl are joined today by Dr. Ken Hughes to talk about preaching and pastoral

ministry. Their discussion,

0:39.1

taped in front of a live audience, covers lots of grounds, so buckle up. And stay tuned after the

0:44.7

conversation to find out how to get a free MP3 from the Alliance. Good afternoon, everybody. As advertised, we have the Mortification of Spin team with us with Dr. Hughes for a panel discussion this afternoon.

Todd, but I would like to add that we like to think of him at the Alliance as the reform theological equivalent of meatloaf.
