Podcast appearances and mentions of Carl R Trueman

Has Western culture merely forgotten God, or is the problem even deeper? In his remarkable new book The Desecration of Man, Dr. Carl Trueman argues that we have reached a new point in which culture has not only rejected God, but now desecrates Him. We can see this in the "shout your abortion" movement or the reveling in the mistreatment of immigrants. In this episode, Carl discusses the common thread of dehumanizing people that we see in the Sexual Revolution, technology, and how Christians approach death.Dr. Carl R. Trueman is Professor of Biblical and Religious Studies at Grove City College in Grove City, Pennsylvania. He earned an MA in Classics from the University of Cambridge, and a Ph.D. in Church History from the University of Aberdeen. He is the author or editor of over a dozen books, and is the co-host of “The Mortification of Spin” podcast.==========Think Biblically: Conversations on Faith and Culture is a podcast from Talbot School of Theology at Biola University, which offers degrees both online and on campus in Southern California.   Find all episodes of Think Biblically at: https://www.biola.edu/think-biblically.   To submit comments, ask questions, or make suggestions on issues you'd like us to cover or guests you'd like us to have on the podcast, email us at thinkbiblically@biola.edu.  

This week on The Narrative, Aaron, David, and Mike break down the firestorm that erupted in Cleveland after the City Club’s January 16 event, featuring Aaron, became ground zero in a very public showdown. LGBTQ activists penned an open letter to pressure the City Club to cancel or modify the event, drawing a response from Attorney General Dave Yost. The Board met on Wednesday, and the City Club CEO Dan Moulthrop announced on Thursday that the event would proceed as planned. After the news, stay tuned for the powerhouse keynote from Carl Trueman at the 2025 Essential Summit. Trueman brilliantly uncovers the root of every cultural battle we’re facing by exposing the deeper crisis behind debates on gender, tech, and identity: the fight over what it means to be human. He shows how modern technology—from smartphones to AI—isn’t just changing how we live, but how we see ourselves. Our society has technology that is actively blurring the very boundaries of human nature. And in that confusion, movements like transgenderism and transhumanism gain ground by treating the human body as nothing more than raw material for reinvention. Trueman delivers a gripping roadmap for Christians on how to respond with clarity, conviction, and courage in a culture being reshaped by forces most people don't even notice.

A few weeks ago on X, formerly Twitter, there was an account managed for the Sesame Street character Elmo. A post was made on that account that simply said this, “Elmo is just checking in. How's everybody doing?” That message received over 200 million views, prompting thousands of people to unburden themselves. They told Elmo about their broken relationships, about their career and financial struggles, about other personal problems that have created sadness in their lives. There's a lot of unhappiness in America. Even President Joe Biden chimed in telling us all to be there for one another, to help our neighbors, and, most importantly, ask for help when we need it. In other words, if you're sad, talk to someone besides Elmo. Here's the problem, if you're sad, you need to be careful who you talk to because you're not going to get the same advice from everybody.

Am Rande der Evangelium21-Hauptkonferenz in Hamburg (13.-15. Juni 2024) sprach Pastor Matthias Lohmann mit dem Hauptreferenten Carl R. Trueman. Der gebürtige Brite ist u.a. Professor für biblische und religionswissenschaftliche Studien am Grove City College in Pennsylvania (USA). Außerdem ist er Autor zahlreicher Bücher. In seinen jüngsten Büchern wie „Der Siegeszug des modernen Selbst“ und „Fremde neue Welt“ (beide Verbum Medien Verlag | https://verbum-medien.de) erläutert er die Entstehungsgeschichte zur aktuellen Sicht des Selbst. Darum geht es auch hauptsächlich in diesem Interview: Warum hat er sich mit dem Thema beschäftigt? Warum ist die LGBTQ+-Bewegung so stark geworden und wie können wir Christen auf diese Entwicklungen reagieren? Und warum sollten wir Christen Hoffnung für die Zukunft haben? Dies sind nur einige der Fragen, die im Interview angesprochen werden. Die beiden Vorträge von Carl R. Trueman bei der Evangelium21-Hauptkonferenz können auf dem YouTube-Kanal von Evangelium21 angehört werden.

(40 Aniversario de Miss Universo 1984) Carlos Rey: Para esta edición especial, nuevamente tengo el gusto de presentar a nuestra invitada, Cilinia Prada Bueno: Cilinia Prada Bueno: A una ex Miss Universo le preguntaron hace poco: «A las concursantes que van tras esa corona, ¿qué consejo les das para que tengan un buen desempeño?» Ella respondió: «Además de poder hablar con facilidad sobre los temas que te apasionan, debes ser auténtica. Sé tú misma.» Eso me hizo pensar en cómo a mis veintiún años logré el sueño de muchas chicas al ganar un concurso de belleza internacional, Miss Asia Pacific 1987. A mi criterio, no debí haber ganado, porque evité ser yo misma. Si me hubiera comportado con autenticidad, jamás me hubieran puesto esa corona como ganadora. Durante mi carrera en la televisión como presentadora en mi país, Panamá, aprendí a mostrar la mejor cara al público y ocultar lo que no me gustaba de mí. Esa experiencia me ayudó a expresarme con chispa y confianza. Desarrollaba ideas con facilidad, pero no eran mis propias ideas. Simplemente eran conceptos que sonaban bien. ¿Cómo, entonces, podemos saber quiénes somos en realidad para poder así comportarnos con autenticidad? Lamentablemente, en la sociedad moderna de Occidente ha triunfado una mentalidad materialista, altamente individualista y tan obsesionada con el sexo que sostiene que lo que determina si somos personas auténticas es nuestra sexualidad.1 ¡Y está tratando de imponernos esa identidad! En ese entorno, ¿qué puedo hacer para descubrir quién soy en realidad? ¿Acaso es necesario que me reinvente creando mi propio sentido y propósito? En uno de los ensayos de aquel concurso celebrado en Hong Kong teníamos que desfilar con un espectacular abrigo de piel sobre un vestido negro corto y ajustado. Luego debíamos pasar detrás de una cortina donde el público iba a poder ver nuestra silueta mientras nos poníamos el traje de baño para salir de nuevo al escenario. Las concursantes comentaban en voz baja su incomodidad, pero no se atrevían a manifestar su descontento. Así que yo me dirigí al coreógrafo y le dije que no queríamos simular que éramos strippers. Él comprendió, y eliminó esa parte del programa. ¿De dónde saqué ese valor, esa defensa de nuestra dignidad? Mi temperamento no era atrevido, ni seguro ni dominante. Pero en esos días yo había adoptado una genuina fe cristiana como resultado de buscar a Dios y de leer la Biblia. Había comenzado una nueva vida porque su Hijo Jesucristo me había transformado en una nueva persona.2 Esa nueva naturaleza me había inculcado nuevos valores que se habían convertido en convicciones de lo que Dios aprueba y desea para nuestro bien. Fue así como, al dejar de pretender ser lo que no era, descubrí quién era yo en realidad. ¿Para qué redefinir tu limitada humanidad con conceptos que vienen de mentes humanas corrompidas que excluyen a Dios? Él te ama y te valora más que nadie, y quiere que vivas conforme a su diseño divino para que seas portadora de su imagen soberana y real.

On this special episode of Voices of Renewal, we hear from Dr. Carl R. Trueman on his new book Crisis of Confidence: Reclaiming the Historic Faith in a Culture Consumed with Individualism and Identity. Dr. Trueman (PhD, University of Aberdeen) is Professor of Biblical and Religious Studies at Grove City College and previously served as the William E. Simon Fellow in Religion and Public Life at Princeton University. Join us as we discuss how creeds and confessions of the historic Church can foster renewal today. 

Carl R. Trueman, Professor at Grove City College and author of Crisis of Confidence: Reclaiming the Historic Faith in a Culture Consumed with Individualism and Identity, joins us to discuss how the Christian church can and must re-establish cultural relevance through creed, code, and cult, why we have to accept the supernatural aspects of Christianity in order for morality to make sense, and how the church can speak to a hyper-scientific world in comprehensible ways. - - -  Today's Sponsor: Beam - Get 40% off for a limited time!

In the category of “You Just Can't Make This Up,” last Sunday, March 31st, 2024 was both Easter Sunday for western Christianity as well as National Transgender Visibility Day. In writing the proclamation for that observance, President Biden said to the transgender community, “You are America and my entire administration and I have your back.” Well, I wonder who has the backs of those who have been observing Easter for 2000 years. Let's talk about the clash of historic faith and current political ideology. Carl R. Trueman, “The dangerous logic of hate crimes,” April 2, 2024. R.

The most common question that I get for TruthCurrents comes from conservatives in general, but Christians in particular. They say, “How did we actually get here? How did we come to be in the place where we are today as a culture?”The idea behind the question is, can you show me the rational process that lead us some of the nonsense that is now touted as normal and ordinary. Well, I want to share with you today what the Bible says about that and then I want to show you how that process has unfolded.   Stephen C.

When the Canaanite, the king of Arad, who lived in the Negeb, heard that Israel was coming by the way of Atharim, he fought against Israel, and took some of them captive. And Israel vowed a vow to Yahweh and said, “If you will indeed give this people into my hand, then I will devote their cities to destruction." And Yahweh heeded the voice of Israel and gave over the Canaanites, and they devoted them and their cities to destruction. So the name of the place was called Hormah.” Numbers 21:1-2   "The rise of the sexual revolution was predicated on fundamental changes in how the self is understood.

The Bible offers guidance on how to have a flourishing sex life, which differs from the messages that purity culture and promiscuity culture have communicated. These messages from purity culture (overvaluing sex) and promiscuity culture (devaluing sex) also existed when Paul was writing to the church in Corinth almost 2,000 years ago. In his letters, he argues that God's vision for sex represents the beauty of the gospel of Jesus— and therefore, in its proper context, sex can demonstrate the sacrificial love that God has for us. Sources: “The simple answer is that sexual desire has emerged in the last one hundred years as a primary category for understanding our identity. In biblical times or in ancient Greece, sex was regarded as something that human beings did; today it is considered to be something vital to who human beings are.” Carl R.

By Christine Emba, washingtonpost.com Consent Was Never Enough,The Atlantic The Sexual Revolution has Failed Generation X Women,The Critic Magazine Women have Been Betrayed by a Culture of Porn Gone Wild,The Times “We like to define freedom as the ability to do whatever we want, whenever we want it, with whomever we want. But to Jesus, that’s not freedom—that’s slavery! Freedom, at least in Jesus’ mind, is the ability to do whatever you should. To enjoy the world as God intended. To live fully awake and alive.” John Mark Comer, Loveology “Sex was created not only to be physically intimate but to be an emotional and spiritual 'knowing' as well. When all three types of intimacy are present—spiritual, emotional and physical—each works in tandem with the others so that they feed one another. The more you laugh and feel close, the more you desire each other and make love. The more you make love, the more connected you feel, which makes your commitment stronger.” Sheila Gregoire, The Great Sex Rescue 1 Corinthians 6:9-20 1 Corinthians 7:1-3

When all three types of intimacy are present—spiritual, emotional and physical—each works in tandem with the others so that they feed one another. The more you laugh and feel close, the more you desire each other and make love. The more you make love, the more connected you feel, which makes your commitment stronger.” Sheila Gregoire, The Great Sex Rescue 1 Corinthians 6:9-20 1 Corinthians 7:1-3

The Bible offers guidance on how to have a flourishing sex life, which differs from the messages that purity culture and promiscuity culture have communicated. These messages from purity culture (overvaluing sex) and promiscuity culture (devaluing sex) also existed when Paul was writing to the church in Corinth almost 2,000 years ago. In his letters, he argues that God's vision for sex represents the beauty of the gospel of Jesus— and therefore, in its proper context, sex can demonstrate the sacrificial love that God has for us. Sources: “The simple answer is that sexual desire has emerged in the last one hundred years as a primary category for understanding our identity. In biblical times or in ancient Greece, sex was regarded as something that human beings did; today it is considered to be something vital to who human beings are.” Carl R.

By Christine Emba, washingtonpost.com Consent Was Never Enough,The Atlantic The Sexual Revolution has Failed Generation X Women,The Critic Magazine Women have Been Betrayed by a Culture of Porn Gone Wild,The Times “We like to define freedom as the ability to do whatever we want, whenever we want it, with whomever we want. But to Jesus, that’s not freedom—that’s slavery! Freedom, at least in Jesus’ mind, is the ability to do whatever you should. To enjoy the world as God intended.

Support The Becket Cook Show on Patreon!In today's episode, Becket chats with Carl Trueman about his book "The Rise and Triumph of the Modern Self," which explores how we got to this strange place in culture, going all the way back to 18th century philosopher, Jean-Jacques Rousseau to the Romantic poets, Nietzsche, Darwin, Freud, and more. We discover through these key historical figures how our modern world was shaped and the dramatic effects their ideas have had on our culture today including the previously incoherent phrase, "I am a woman trapped in a man's body," and how this phrase came to be known as coherent and meaningful in our world. You will be surprised how far-reaching these ideas are and how they are in the social imaginary whether we realize it or not. This episode will help you understand how we got to the chaos and confusion of our culture in the 21st century. Carl R.

Dr. Carl R. Trueman joins us to speak about his significant new book, The Rise and Triumph of the Modern Self: Cultural Amnesia, Expressive Individualism, and the Road to Sexual Revolution (Crossway), in which he addresses the factors undergirding modern culture’s obsession with identity. Sexual identity in particular has dominated public discourse since the landmark Obergefell v. Hodges Supreme Court decision in 2015. Tracing influential thought from Augustine to Marx and beyond, Trueman explains the historical and intellectual phenomenon of the modern conception selfhood. Trueman writes, My aim is to explain how and why a certain notion of the self has come to dominate the culture of the West, why this self finds its most obvious manifestation in the transformation of sexual mores, and what the wider implications of this transformation are and may well be in the future. Dr. Trueman is professor of biblical and religious studies at Grove City College. He is an esteemed church historian and previously served as the William E. Simon Fellow in Religion and Public Life at Princeton University. Trueman has authored or edited more than a dozen books, including The Creedal Imperative, Luther on the Christian Life, and Histories and Fallacies. Trueman is a minister in the Orthodox Presbyterian Church. Participants: Camden Bucey, Carl Trueman
