The Countercultural Rebellion of Reciting Creeds in an Age of Expressive Individualism,

Excellent! Thank you, Dr. Trueman and Alisa.

"I tend to think when/as I write." Yeah, I can relate.

I grew up in a church where we recited the Apostles Creed, Nicene creed, and Psalms 100. I can still say them from memory.

Very good Alisa, that when we really look inside we might have to recognize our sinful nature, and not some inner peace of our own design . Yeah great topic Dr Treman !

Man this is so good! ❤ Dr. Carl Trueman. This current crop of cultural Christianity is the harvest of how expressive individualism has infiltrated the church. Our faith is so disintegrated because we’ve evangelized an individualized or personalized Jesus for decades. A whole generation has discipled into believing it’s all about just them and Jesus.

Love Carl! Thanks for having him on!

We have been using alot of Dr. Trumans work in the christian counselling training. We need to understand how important a "confessions and creeds " are to stand firm in our beliefs. I am amazed at how many people do not see much or any value in them. Thank you for having a solid reformed teacher on.

The issue comes down to the redefining of evil as good and good as evil. All other rules, principles, measures etc only exist to serve that redefining. The feelings thing is just a vehicle of doing so. The redefining is all that matters.

In our Church we recite the Nicene Creed every Sunday 🙂

In regards to the political issue about the older democrats being conservative: think of a ratchet. Liberals/progressives push the ratchet. It goes way farther than people are comfortable with so theres pushback. However, the conservatives act as the pall (the part that stops it turning in the other direction). So the process all together goes: Progressive over reach 4 steps, conservatives push it back 2 steps and lock down the "new normal". Conservatives control what is considered "acceptable right wingism". So even though you started four steps back conservatives set the tone that anything farther than 2 steps back is "extreme and unacceptable" then you repeat the process over and over. That is how society gets to the way it is. You're always moving left but each successive generation thinks they "fixed" progressivism but they are still farther left than ever before.

Beautiful!! 😻

I believe vigilantly limiting a teen's time on social media can dial back a) exposure to radical ideas and behavior. AND limiting a teen's time on social media can FREE TIME for healthy interpersonal activities like sports, music, other learned skills with people. Other Activities offer a viable and productive excuse when that teen is confronted with peer pressure.

This has been very helpful. I have ordered 'Crisis of Confidence' by Dr Trueman.

Helloooooooo Grove City!!! It’s been a while. Kenny from Bethlehem, Pa.

Such a wonderful conversation. Thank you both. God bless you💙

Another helpful perspective is that of professor Möller, who runs the YT channel “Carefree Wondering”. Especially in his early videos, he explains his ideas about how the concept of identity has changed over time. It fleshes out similar ideas to these in a different way.

Timely, concise, engaging. Thank you so much for this episode.

Anyone familiar with the app Alisa mentioned at the beginning of the interview?

Fantastic interview!

I really enjoyed this very important conversation and listening to Dr. Truman. Now I want to hear his lectures…he’s easy to listen to!
