Summary

As newly-minted grandfather Carl Trueman settles into his cardigan sweater and comfortable shoes, the always-youthful and vibrant Todd Pruitt steps up to help welcome a special guest. Terry Johnson is the 34-year senior minister of Independent Presbyterian Church in Savannah, Georgia, and a respected author. Terry’s latest release—Understanding Family Worship—is a companion piece to his landmark 2009 book on family devotions. Why can it be difficult for parents—especially dads—to initiate and take the lead in family worship? Families enjoyed daily devotionals throughout Christian history, so what has changed in recent generations? Terry makes a convincing and detailed argument for why your family needs to gather for worship and how it might be done in your own home. Congratulations to our winners of Terry Johnson’s Understanding Family Worship: Its History, Theology, and Practice: *Benjamin C. of Pittsburgh, PA *Taylor K. from Huntsville, AL *Vernon G. of Sparks, NV *Nathan A. of Dyer, IN

1:00.2	Welcome to Mortification of Spin. I'm your regular host, Carl Truman, professor of biblical and religious studies at Grove City College in beautiful western Pennsylvania. And I'm here with my
1:05.0	regular co-host, the Reverend Todd Pruitt, a pastor of Covenant Presbyterian Church, a congregation
1:10.3	of the Presbyterian Church
1:11.9	in America in Harrisonburg, Virginia. Good to be with you again, Todd. Good to be with you,
1:17.6	Carl. Great to see you again. Are we allowed to talk about the fact that as we are recording
1:25.2	this before too much longer, you're going to be a grandfather.
1:28.6	I am. It could be just the first time. Or should I keep that a secret?
1:31.0	It could. Well, you should keep it a secret. It could be just minutes away. My daughter-in-law has
1:35.5	been in labor, I think, for 27 hours at this point. So it's hard as a man to get your head
1:41.4	around that kind of physical exertion for this long time.
1:45.2	But really delighted.
1:46.7	You know, it's hard to believe that somebody is youthful in outlook and appearance as me is going to be a grandfather.
1:51.5	I know, but such it is.
1:54.2	So delightful to see it.
1:56.2	And as I said to a friend yesterday, I'm now entering the next interesting phase of life that
2:00.6	ends with me dying,
