Summary

The conspiracy theory continues to develop and Aimee is determined to drive the bad brokenness out of Carl and Todd.Whether bad brokenness, or good brokenness - whatever that means, we must have a biblical anthropology. Or, in simpler terms, a biblical doctrine of what it means to be human. Nailing this down will help us view everyone with dignity and respect and even avoid bandwagons on current issues related to sexuality and race, to name a few.Who are you? Are you merely a social construct? Are you a soul with a body attached to it? Can you still be considered a person without your cognitive faculties? The answers might just drive you to the first question of the Westminster Shorter Catechism!Don’t forget: You are who the Bible says you are, a person made in the image of God.Thanks to our friends at Eerdmans Publishing, we can offer some free copies of the great title Created In God’s Image by Anthony Hoekema.

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, welcome to Mortification of Spin.
0:47.0	I am your host, Todd Pruitt, and my two little helpers are with me, as usual, Carl Truman and Amy Bird.
0:53.5	And we want to talk about a topic of doctrine, which is sadly neglected and to our detriment.
1:04.7	Now, before we get into the meat of the subject, though, and before I introduce the subject itself,
1:10.6	one of the things that I may do
1:12.4	just in terms of helping our listeners to think deeply, helping our listeners to grapple with
1:18.9	some very thoughtful subjects and to process them in a way that is intelligent. I want to
1:24.4	throw out every once in a while, just what I consider a helpful quote
1:28.1	from Amy Bird. One that I found, which I was tremendously helped by, is quote, good brokenness
1:34.7	drives out bad brokenness. Isn't that good? Isn't that good? So true. Amy, all I can say is,
1:40.0	plagiarism. All I can say is thank you for writing that, Amy. I don't even know what to say.
1:47.7	Have you noticed this?
