Summary

Best-selling author (the Reverend Dr.) Carl Trueman steps away from his world book tour, condescending just long enough to share his thoughts with Todd Pruitt on the topics of institutional coffee mugs, Reformed seminaries, and the mujahideen. But it’s a different type of combatant on our co-hosts’ radar: the culture warrior. Is it a term of endearment or a dismissive insult? How do “culture warriors” differ from “activists?” The dynamic duo reminds us that Christians need to be engaged–using the right tactics in the proper battles. Congratulations to our winners of Thaddeus Williams' Confronting Injustice Without Compromising Truth: *Mary D. from Pocomoke, MD *Coleman E. from Tucker, GA *Marilyn J. from Adamsville, TN

1:15.9	you're here with me again. You're not in Australia or Brazil or Canada. Would they even let you in,
1:23.0	would they even let you in Canada now? Probably, I think with some of my views, I could be facing five years
1:29.5	in prison. Yeah. I can tell you stay away from Canada and Norway. Yeah. Yeah. And it's, I'm pretty
1:37.8	confident I can get back to my own country. But some of our listeners may think this is a great
1:43.0	thing. It's so obvious that I could get back here at this point if I tested positive for COVID.
1:49.0	Right, right.
1:50.0	Well, on another issue, though, I promised to Fred and I would do this.
1:54.1	Remember, Reformed Presbyterian Theological Seminary, the one that I forgot on that list that I gave out in that

2:04.6	Barry York complained very graciously as Barry Wood.
2:08.4	I spoke at Presbyterian Reformed Theological Seminary.
