Summary

Todd and Carl interview Aimee Byrd in an attempt to answer the question: can anything good really come out of West Virginia? Mrs. Byrd is the popular blogger, now published author and self-identified "Housewife Theologian." If you're picturing a woman - pregnant, barefoot and in the kitchen - pouring over commentaries and studying Greek while mixing up a batch of homemade chocolate chip cookies, you're probably only slightly stereotyping. Aimee herself admits to being quite ordinary. In fact, she believes that everyone is a theologian and that doctrine is a very real part of everyday life. If you're as important as Carl, then you already have a copy of her pre-released book. But in case you aren't, you better listen in to this episode of The Mortification of Spin...

0:00.0	You are listening to the Mortification of Spin, the regular broadcast of the Alliance of Confessing Evangelicals,
0:21.5	and I'm one half of the hosts here. My name is Todd Pruitt. I'm the teaching pastor at Church of the
0:27.6	Savior in Wayne, Pennsylvania. And I'm joined, as always, by Dr. Carl Truman, who is professor
0:32.7	of church history at Westminster Theological Seminary and the pastor of Cornerstone Presbyterian Church
0:38.4	in Ambler, Pennsylvania. Carl, good to see you as always. And of course, one of the things we like to do
0:45.4	at The Mortification of Spin is to share with our listeners some of the mail we get, some of the mail
0:53.4	particularly that's encouraging to us.
0:55.7	And I believe you have something. Yeah, I won't read the whole thing, but I'll just give you a
1:00.4	choice quotation. I love that. I think it's actually referring to Reformation 21, more than
1:04.2	modification spin, but says, please unsubscribe me. If I ever need to be insulted in the future,
1:12.1	I'll be in touch.
1:16.8	Brother, if you're out there, we are glad we were able to serve you at that point in yours.
1:23.0	You would probably say, journey when you needed to be insulted. And rest assured, we will be here when you need to be insulted in the future. Or we not only would we be willing to insult you, but we'd be willing to insult any
1:30.0	member of your tribe.
1:31.7	Tribe is a big word now, too, from what I understand, because I used it once and Dan Phillips
1:35.3	got all over me about it.
1:43.1	Yeah, it is, yeah, Tribe is a very cool word, Todd.
1:46.6	I think you're too heavy these days to use a word like that and get away.
1:51.1	Yeah, yeah.
1:51.7	I would like to be a part of somebody's tribe, but I don't know if anybody would have me is the deal.
1:58.5	It's certainly not this fellow that was kind enough to ride in to Ref 21.
2:04.7	I know. It's lovely to get encouraging notes of that. It makes it all worthwhile.
