On the eve of the third anniversary of Scott Spivey's killing, his family filed a bombshell federal lawsuit against Horry County and 13 current and former police officers — including former Deputy Chief Brandon Strickland, former Chief Joseph Hill, and "act like a victim" Officer Damon Vescovi. The complaint alleges a coordinated conspiracy to steer the investigation toward exonerating Weldon Boyd and Bradley Williams from the very first hours: unseized phones, returned weapons, disabled body cameras, coached witnesses, a retroactively altered on-call schedule, a wiped tablet — and, for the first time in a court filing, the allegation that officers planted drugs in Scott's truck. Investigative journalists Mandy Matney and Liz Farrell break down the full list of accusations, revisit Strickland's own recorded words about working "in the shadows," and explain why the Spivey family's fight against qualified immunity may be the battle of all battles. Let's Dive In…
In his recent book The Desecration of Man, Carl Trueman asks what it means to be human and argues that modern Western culture has increasingly rejected the God-given nature, limits, and purposes of humanity. Hunter and Autumn discuss Trueman's account of the social imaginary, technology, expressive individualism, and the rise of the Transgressor Hero, considering how these ideas have reshaped our understanding of our world, our bodies, and human nature. Trueman ultimately concludes that consecration, recovering the sacredness and purpose inherent in the Imago Dei and devoting ourselves to God, is the answer to desecration.Resources mentioned in this episode:The Desecration of Man: How the Rejection of God Degrades Our Humanity by Carl Trueman
Most men are living off a definition of themselves that someone else handed them — and they've never stopped to ask where it came from. In this episode, Bill and Travis sit down with Bill Spencer, founder of Narrow Gate Ministries, for a raw and unfiltered conversation about identity, grace, and what happens when a man finally stops trying to earn what's already his. Bill Spencer shares his story — from a childhood shaped by poverty and instability, to years chasing legalism in a high-control religious group, to getting "tricked" into a church service that cracked him wide open. What follows is one of the most honest conversations we've had about the difference between working for God's approval and resting in what Christ has already done. You'll walk away from this one asking a different question about your own life: Who told you who you are — and is it actually true? In this episode: * Why so many churches quietly turn grace into a performance system * The strange (and hilarious) illustration that reframes how you see other people * What Genesis 3 reveals about the first lie ever told to a man * Why rules were never meant to be the point of your faith * How to stop striving to live for Christ — and start letting Christ live through you Connect with Bill Spencer & Narrow Gate:https://narrowgate.org/ Connect with Known Legacy: info@knownlegacy.org Follow us on Instagram, Facebook, and YouTube ️ Join our Thursday morning men's group, "The Adrenaline Shot" — 6:45 AM https://soldiersforfaith.com/bible_study/soldiers-adrenaline-shot/ Download the free Wake Up Guide & 7-Day Reset - https://mailchi.mp/knownlegacy/the-wake-up-guide Grab the book "More Than You" — free 10-session study guide available www.morethanyoubook.com Join the Brotherhood on Facebook! https://www.facebook.com/share/g/1EZL78qtya/ If this episode challenged you, share it with a man who needs to hear it.

Send us Fan MailGUEST: CARL TRUEMAN, author, The Desecration of ManIf you're a Christian, you likely find yourself gobsmacked (“utterly astonished”) at the craziness (you see all around you in society, such as:How abortion, the killing of unborn babies, is celebratedHow living together before marriage is promoted as necessary to ascertain compatibilityHow boys can purportedly become girls and vice versa and how hospitals and doctors are more than willing to remove private parts to “transition”How two men can “marry” and then choose a woman out of a catalog to be artificially inseminated by one of them to carry their babyHow the proposed solution to crime is “defunding the police” and reducing consequences for criminalsHow those who illegally enter the country should be able to vote and receive taxpayer benefitsThe worldview on these issues and many more may seem like lunacy to the Christian, but to the non-Christian or to the liberal professing Christian, they seem perfectly reasonable, even worthy of celebration.Fundamentally, the divide we see and feel in our society is between one side that believes in God and adheres to the framework He established versus another side that rejects the biblical worldview and promotes what is right in their own eyes.Frankly, this shouldn't surprise us, as it's been the story of mankind from the very beginning. What God establishes, man rejects and rebels. Satan falsely promised Eve that eating the forbidden fruit would lead to wisdom and liberation but the opposite occurred—shame, enslavement, and ultimately death.Our guest this weekend is Carl Trueman. He is a professor of biblical and theological studies at Grove City College and the author of the book, The Desecration of Man: How the Rejection of God Degrades our Humanity, which is our new featured resource. We hope the discussion helps you better discern what is at work in our society and how the only answer is to repent, believe, and follow God's gospel and will.--------------------------The Desecration of Man by Carl Trueman

In this episode, we sit down with Dr. Jon Pratt and Greg Deckert, friends for over 50 years, as they take us back to Owatonna, Minnesota, where two faculty families arrived at Pillsbury Baptist Bible College, and their sons met at Vacation Bible School.Jon and Greg share the fruit of a friendship that ran through the same schools from grade school through Pillsbury, and into an apartment they shared during Jon's first year of seminary and Greg's first year of law school. We talk about accountability that was never scheduled and how the friendship held together through a move to Dallas in the years before email.Books mentioned in this episode:A Light on the Hill by Caleb Morell (Crossway, 2025)The Meaning of Your Life by Arthur C.

Carl Trueman argues that the modern world hasn't merely changed how we think about sex, reproduction, and death—it has stripped these realities of their sacred meaning. In this episode, we unpack the central themes of The Desecration of Man, exploring how expressive individualism, technology, and the pursuit of self-creation have reshaped our moral imagination.Along the way, we discuss why the modern vision of autonomy ultimately fails, the surprising cultural role of the artist, and what Trueman sees as the deepest crisis of our age. More importantly, we consider the distinctly Christian hope that speaks to a culture searching for identity, meaning, and human dignity.The Desecration of Man by Carl TruemanThat Hideous Strength by C.S.

The Context of White Supremacy hosts the Counter-Racist Weekly Review 07/18/26: The "My White Friends" / "Not All White People Are Racist" Edition. This broadcast examines current events from across the globe to learn what's happening in all areas of people activity. We cultivate Counter-Racist Media Literacy by scrutinizing journalists' word choices and using logic to deconstruct what is reported as "news." We'll use these sessions to hone our use of terms as tools to reveal truth and neutralize Racists/White people. #ANTIBLACKNESS This week, we analyze the fatal consequences of non-white proximity to whiteness, institutional theft, and state-sanctioned violence: The Myth of the Protective White Friend Circle: We dissect the horrific reality of Black victims who perished while surrounded by individuals they considered friends. We look at the ongoing grief of Nolan Wells' family as they demand transparency into his death on a remote Mississippi island, alongside the parents of Daniel Erving who are demanding murder charges following evidence tampering arrests in his drowning. We apply counter-racist logic to show why non-white people cannot afford the delusion of safety among groups of white peers. The Desecration of Sade Robinson's Legacy: We investigate the sickening development out of Milwaukee where the family of murdered 19-year-old Sade Robinson discovered her remaining personal belongings were stolen from a storage facility. We deconstruct the unique malice required to targetedly pillage the estate of a dismembered Black youth, exposing a system that denies peace to Black victims even after death. Mental Health Crisis Executive Executions: We break down a disturbing Memphis task force incident where agents shot and killed a Black male who was undergoing an active mental health crisis. We contrast this state violence with New York reports tracking the systematic theft of SNAP benefits from impoverished residents, proving that the legal and enforcement wings of the system operate concurrently to deplete Black life and livelihood. The Illiteracy Pipeline & Digital Control: We decode PBS News segments detailing why fewer Americans are reading for pleasure in a "post-literate age" alongside the rapid expansion of automated "Flock" surveillance cameras in local communities. We analyze how municipal surveillance grids and cognitive regression are engineered together to weaponize public spaces against non-white autonomy. INVEST in The COWS!

In this episode of Theologically Driven, we review Carl Trueman's latest book, The Desecration of Man. Following The Rise and Triumph of the Modern Self and Strange New World, Trueman argues that the West's rejection of God has led to the desecration of humanity itself, since humans bear God's image. We discuss his case that our culture's problem is not disenchantment but desecration, how technology has handed us godlike power over life and death (IVF, surrogacy, genetic screening, assisted suicide), why Protestants need a more robust anthropology, and where we think the book falls short on the gospel. Theologically Driven is a podcast of Detroit Baptist Theological Seminary. Learn more at dbts.edu.
Political scientist Mark Caleb Smith responds to the recent Supreme Court allowing the President to fire executive agencies. Does this give the President of the United States too much power over the agencies regulatory activities? Will Congress return legislative power back to itself? Also, what does it mean to love America and Americans well? Carl Trueman of the Ethics and Public Policy Center, author of "The Desecration of Man," talks about how the rejection of God has by and large led to a degradation of humanity.

The Desecration of Man: How the Rejection of God Degrades Our Humanity By: Carl R. Trueman Published: 2026 256 Pages Briefly, what is this book about? In the standard story of the transition from the premodern to the modern, the world has gradually been disenchanted. Depending on who you are, this is either a good thing, a sad thing, or a mixed thing. Trueman's contention is that disenchantment has, over the last few decades, transitioned to desecration. In his telling, the modern world hasn't just outgrown the sacred, it's rebelled against it. Much like a headstrong teenager might revel in doing the opposite of what his parents expect, society has come to celebrate the transgression of things that were previously deemed to be holy. These transgressions are not only a source of rebellious pleasure, but more critically, they provide a way to make the person feel superior to the divine. Violating rules and norms allows one to feel above them. Why is this important? Because (pulling in Nietzsche) having rejected God, men now need to become gods, and this is one way to do it. But these transgressions, rather than elevating men, debase them. We see this debasement in everything from the sexual revolution down through assisted suicide and IVF. In the end Trueman claims one can either accept Christianity root-and-branch or engage in full-on Nietzschean self-creation, but that there is no middle ground, no cultural Christianity, no stable progressive moral creation. It is either one extreme or the other. What authorial biases should I be aware of? Trueman is, himself, a root-and-branch Christian, so he definitely favors one side over the other. Who should read this book? ...

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.

This episode pulls back the curtain on the complex legal, historical, and procedural mechanics defining the ongoing crisis at Hickory Ground. The discussion centers heavily on how institutional frameworks like NAGPRA (the Native American Graves Protection and Repatriation Act) can catastrophically fail the very communities they were codified to protect. Listeners will hear an analytical breakdown of how tribal sovereign immunity is currently being leveraged as a tactical shield by the Poarch Band to veil unlawful acts and evade accountability for site excavation from the courts.From a procedural standpoint, the speakers expose the clinical and disrespectful methods utilized by institutions handling excavated history. Rather than receiving proper repatriation, the remains of fifty-seven ancestors are currently stored in un-climate-controlled Rubbermaid tote boxes at Auburn University, where mold continues to spread. Furthermore, the university and developing entities have tactically weaponized bureaucracy by actively denying direct descendancy claims made by tribal leaders like Miko Thompson, creating high administrative barriers to stop the return of these bodies.The professional philosophy shared by the legal and cultural advocates in this episode demands a complete dismantling of double standards in historical preservation. They argue that if an institution excavated fifty-seven bodies from Arlington Cemetery and refused to return them, it would spark an immediate national outrage; thus, Native burial grounds must be afforded the exact same tactical protections and legal parameters as any mainstream white cemetery. True sovereignty, the advocates argue, cannot exist if a tribe destroys the baseline lifeways, languages, and ancestral respects that form the legal foundation of its political existence.

What does it mean to be human in an age that celebrates the destruction of the sacred? In this timely episode, Ed Stetzer sits down with renowned historian and author Carl Trueman to discuss his latest work, The Desecration of Man. Following the success of The Rise and Triumph of the Modern Self, Trueman explores how the rejection of external authority and the ascent of "expressive individualism" have led us to a point where we no longer just ignore meaning—we actively delight in smashing it.From the pervasive influence of technology and AI to the complex ethical landscapes of IVF and surrogacy, Trueman traces the roots of our modern malaise back to thinkers like Rousseau, Freud, and Nietzsche. Together, Ed and Carl wrestle with how the church can offer a "consecrated" alternative, pointing to the Imago Dei as the only stable foundation for human dignity. This is a vital conversation for leaders seeking to navigate a culture that is rapidly reconfiguring the very definition of humanity.ABOUT OUR GUESTCarl Trueman is a theologian, historian, and author known for his work on church history, theology, culture, and the modern self.

Carl Trueman joins Mere Fidelity to discuss his book The Desecration of Man: How the Rejection of God Degrades Our Humanity. They examine why "desecration" captures something "disenchantment" misses — the frenzied, ecstatic violation of what is still recognized as sacred — and trace its implications for abortion, gender, technology, and end-of-life ethics. Trueman argues the church's answer is consecration: creed, worship, and a code of hospitality that restores genuine personhood.
