Mortification. It's a fun word with a serious meaning. Mortification is about killing sin in our lives. In this sermon, Pastor Gabe shares that we kill sin because of who we are in Christ and the invitation we have to live fully into that identity.
In this episode of Mortification of Spin, Carl and Todd discuss the pressing issues facing young men today, exploring the need for role models and the church's potential to fill this void. The church is a community, and if we're living in a world where young men really lack good role models, there is a tremendous opportunity for the church to speak to that. -- Carl Trueman They discuss the cultural landscape, the challenges of modern masculinity, and the importance of mentorship within the church community. Join them for a thought-provoking conversation that aims to inspire and encourage young men to embrace their identity and responsibilities in today's world.We are pleased to offer three copies of J.C. Ryle's book, Thoughts for Young Men, to our listeners, thanks to the generosity of Banner of Truth Publishing. Enter here for the opportunity to win.
In this episode, we explore how the Book of Concord speaks about the Law's twofold work—accusation for the unbeliever and mortification for the believer. Drawing from key confessional texts like the Apology of the Augsburg Confession and the Formula of Concord, we discuss how the Law always accuses, but does so differently depending on faith. For the unbeliever, the Law terrifies and condemns. For the believer, the accusation remains, but it drives daily repentance and the mortification of the flesh by the Spirit through the Word. This distinction is not only doctrinally vital but also deeply pastoral, grounding the Christian's struggle in Christ's victory and the Spirit's ongoing sanctifying work. Join us as we trace how this confessional insight shapes our understanding of sin, repentance, and the Christian life. ----more---- Host: Fr. Jason Braaten Regular Guest: Fr.

In this episode of Mortification of Spin, Carl and Todd are joined by their friend, Michael Morales, professor of biblical studies at Greenville Theological Seminary. Together, they discuss Michael's much-anticipated 2-volume commentary on the Book of Numbers, an often-overlooked by preachers and students of the Bible. According to Carl, "If Michael Morales writes it, you need to read it." Discussing its significance in the biblical narrative and its implications for understanding the covenant community, Morales shares insights on how the Book of Numbers serves as a foundation for ecclesiology and its connections to Christ and the church today. The Torah really is the foundation of all of our theology. – Michael Morales Tune in for a rich conversation that aims to illuminate the depths of this vital text! Perhaps, like Todd, you'll renew your enthusiasm for this middle book of the Pentateuch after listening to their conversation.
Christian believers will be tempted to sin. How are we to understand what goes on in temptation? Where is God when we are tempted?

Described as 'perhaps the greatest British theologian of all time', John Owen was far more than a theoretician. As a pastor-scholar, Owen showed that his great concern was to promote holiness in his hearers and readers, to the glory of God and their lasting joy. This week's episode constitutes an introduction to Owen and many of his chief works which, it is hoped, will be of help to those new to him, as well as to confirmed and seasoned appreciators of this humble, profound Christian teacher.

Todd and Carl, now officially an American citizen, dive into the challenging subject of immigration. Together, they explore the theological concept of the "order of love," its implications for prioritizing our obligations to others, and how this intersects with the responsibilities of the State versus the Church. The situation is complicated. How do we navigate? How do we develop a hierarchy of loves and obligations that is faithful to Scripture but also handles the complexities that Scripture throws up? – Carl Trueman In other words, how do we balance our responsibilities to our neighbors and the laws of the land? With references to contemporary issues and personal anecdotes, this episode challenges listeners to consider their perspectives on immigration and community, as Christians and citizens. We are pleased to offer Mortification of Spin swag to three of our listeners, including a t-shirt, a baseball cap, and a mug! Enter here for the opportunity to win.
In this episode of Mortification of Spin, Carl and Todd engage in a thought-provoking discussion with Brad Littlejohn, director of Programs and Education at American Compass, about Brad's newly published book, Call to Freedom: Retrieving Christian Liberty in an Age of License. Christians in the modern West hear a lot about—and talk a lot about—"freedom." The word has taken on so many meanings that Christians often fail to realize how much our contemporary ideals of freedom stray from what freedom has meant in Scripture and the Christian tradition. We need to redeem and recover a properly Christian way of thinking about freedom. – Carl Trueman Today's conversation touches on the Reformation's impact on individual liberty, the tension between authority and conscience, and the contemporary challenges Christians face in understanding freedom. As Protestants, we have to care about freedom because it's central to our theological heritage. – Brad Littlejohn Tune in for an insightful exploration of these critical themes!

The Mortification of Sin Abridged and Simplified, Chapter 12 Even the most spiritually mature believers—those who walk most closely with God—only have the faintest glimpse of His glory in this life. When God revealed His name to Moses, showing forth His covenantal grace and mercy (Exod. 34:5-6), He described it as merely seeing His "back," not His full glory. John confirms this, saying, "No one has ever seen God" (John 1:18), emphasizing thateven Moses, the greatest prophet under the law, had only a limited revelation of God compared to Christ.

The Mortification of Sin - Abridged and Simplified - Some professing Christians have fallen into grave error bydisregarding the law's role in convicting them of sin. Theywrongly assume that, because they are under grace, they no longer need to consider the law's warnings. This mindset leads to spiritual carelessness, dulls the conscience, and, in time, results in all kinds of sinful indulgence.
The Mortification of Sin Abridged and Simplified - If you are serious about overcoming sin, you must not only recognize its guilt but also its grave dangers. Sin is not something that can be controlled or managed—it is a force that seeks to harden your heart ,bring God's discipline upon your life, and rob you of your peace and strength.

The Mortification of Sin - Abridged and Simplified - Chapter 8A believer may find himself burdened by a particular sin. Itdominates his thoughts, disturbs his peace, and brings him under conviction. In response, he prays against it, grieves over it, and earnestly seeks deliverance. Yet, at the same time, he remains careless in other spiritual duties—neglecting prayer, meditation, reading of Scripture, and other areas of obedience that are not directly related to the sin he is battling. Such a person will never successfully mortify the sin that troubles him.

The Mortification of Sin - Simplified and Abridged:Mortification Is a Continual, Lifelong WorkTo mortify sin is to weaken it daily. It is not a one-time event but a lifelong battle. Paul says, "Put to death therefore what is earthly in you" (Col. 3:5), using a present-tense verb that implies ongoing action.Sin must be put to death daily, because it constantly seeks to regain power in our lives. The believer must remain watchful, never assuming that a sin is fully conquered.

What hard work will you have in your dying hour, except you get a heart mortified to this world, and all that is in it? Your parting hour is like to be a dreadful hour, without the help of mortification. Your corruptions, like glue, fasten your affections to the world, and how hard will it be for such a man to be separated by death? O what a bitter and doleful parting have carnal hearts from carnal things!
"They have crucified the flesh, with the affections and lusts." By flesh we are here to understand carnal concupiscence, the workings and motions of corrupt nature; and by the affections we are to understand, not the natural, but the inordinate affections; for Christ does not abolish and destroy, but correct and regulate the affections of those that are in him: And by crucifying the flesh, we are not to understand the total extinction or perfect subduing of corrupt nature, but only the deposing of corruption from its regency and dominion in the soul;

Philippians 4:8–9 (ESV) — 8 Finally, brothers, whatever is true, whatever ishonorable, whatever is just, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever iscommendable, if there is any excellence, if there is anything worthy of praise,think about these things. 9 What youhave learned and received and heard and seen in me—practice these things, andthe God of peace will be with you.

Todd and Carl, the self-proclaimed Hall and Oates of podcasting, spend a few minutes reflecting on the longevity of Mortification of Spin – "We've been doing this for over a decade now. Easily we must be one of the longest-standing podcast partnerships in history." They then turn their attention to today's returning guest and their friend, Kevin DeYoung, to discuss his latest book, Daily Doctrine: A One-Year Guide to Systematic Theology. Deemed by Todd to be his "Book of the Year,” this daily devotional has been designed to make systematic theology clear and accessible for the everyday Christian. Daily devotions are a huge privilege and a tremendous powerhouse for Christian living. – Carl Trueman The conversation delves into the importance of understanding systematic theology, the value of daily devotions, and how Kevin's book aims to equip lay Christians with the historic vocabulary of the church. Thanks to the generosity of Crossway Publishing, we are pleased to offer three copies of Kevin DeYoung's book, Daily Doctrine: A One-Year Guide to Systematic Theology, to our listeners.

Todd is pretty excited to have today's guest on “his podcast,” who is none other than his Mortification of Spin co-host, Carl Trueman. Together, they discuss Carl's latest book, To Change All Worlds: Critical Theory from Marx to Marcuse, where Carl examines the historical roots of critical theory, its evolution, and its impact on contemporary culture. I wanted to produce a book that was not a kind of “goodies” and “baddies” book…Everybody coming to critical theory has their opinion on whether the critical theorists are good guys or bad guys. I didn't really want to address that. What I wanted to do was look at critical theory through the historical lens and say, okay, why did this group of men start thinking this way? What was going on? What sources are they using? What problems are they trying to address or questions are they asking in order to get below the surface? – Carl Trueman Todd and Carl discuss some key figures of critical theory, such as Marx, Hegel, and Freud, and how they and other early critical theorists shaped modern thought. What are the implications for Christians today? Tune in to find out! Thanks to the generosity of B&H Academics, we are pleased to offer a copy of Carl's book to our listeners. Enter here for the opportunity to win one.
