A few items as the week ends. Todd Pruitt beat me to the punchline on the latest embarrassing antics from the world of reformed celebrity marketing and the Battle of the Brands.

This week's Mortification of Spin podcast is up and this week, for a change, the team play it entirely straight. This is because the topic is very serious: how the church should address domestic and sexual abuse. The guest is Dr. Diane Langberg who has specialised in counseling abuse victims for...
