00:00:00.120 --> 00:00:02.600
<v Speaker 1>Hi, folks. I hope you'll had a wonderful Christmas and

2
00:00:02.720 --> 00:00:05.320
<v Speaker 1>New Year. I'm excited for the new season of Coming

3
00:00:05.320 --> 00:00:09.240
<v Speaker 1>Friendly Christianity to start next week. But in advance of that,

4
00:00:09.279 --> 00:00:12.199
<v Speaker 1>instead of dropping a trailer, I'm dropping a little mini

5
00:00:12.199 --> 00:00:14.640
<v Speaker 1>episode here to apologize for a mistake that I made

6
00:00:14.640 --> 00:00:15.880
<v Speaker 1>in the Q and A episode. At the end of

7
00:00:15.919 --> 00:00:18.760
<v Speaker 1>the last season, I was asked a question about the

8
00:00:18.760 --> 00:00:21.399
<v Speaker 1>Morning after PILM, and I answered it on the basis

9
00:00:21.440 --> 00:00:23.839
<v Speaker 1>of knowledge that I had from when I last looked

10
00:00:23.839 --> 00:00:26.399
<v Speaker 1>into the subject several years ago. At that point, it

11
00:00:26.519 --> 00:00:29.239
<v Speaker 1>was thought that the morning after pill prevented implantation of

12
00:00:29.280 --> 00:00:32.560
<v Speaker 1>an embryo if conception had taken place, but more recent

13
00:00:32.560 --> 00:00:35.159
<v Speaker 1>research seems to have indicated that it doesn't. Now a

14
00:00:35.159 --> 00:00:37.039
<v Speaker 1>few of you reached out to me after that episode

15
00:00:37.039 --> 00:00:39.840
<v Speaker 1>to point out my mistake, and I really appreciate the correction.

16
00:00:40.280 --> 00:00:42.840
<v Speaker 1>I want to apologize to all of you for the misinformation,

17
00:00:42.960 --> 00:00:45.840
<v Speaker 1>especially on a topic of such sensitivity. I hope it's

18
00:00:45.920 --> 00:00:50.479
<v Speaker 1>evident from my podcast that I care deeply about factual accuracy,

19
00:00:50.759 --> 00:00:53.359
<v Speaker 1>and as someone who writes and speaks about a whole

20
00:00:53.439 --> 00:00:56.359
<v Speaker 1>range of topics on which I'm no expert, my fear

21
00:00:56.399 --> 00:00:59.560
<v Speaker 1>is always that I will unintentionally mislead people. So my

22
00:00:59.600 --> 00:01:01.880
<v Speaker 1>goal has been for the Confunding Christianity podcast to be

23
00:01:01.880 --> 00:01:05.200
<v Speaker 1>a reliable source of information, and with that in mind,

24
00:01:05.239 --> 00:01:07.319
<v Speaker 1>please reach out through my website if you hear something

25
00:01:07.319 --> 00:01:10.040
<v Speaker 1>on an episode that you believe is factually incorrect. And

26
00:01:10.079 --> 00:01:12.560
<v Speaker 1>when I write books, I always pay an expert to

27
00:01:12.599 --> 00:01:14.680
<v Speaker 1>read through the manuscript for me and point out any

28
00:01:14.680 --> 00:01:17.680
<v Speaker 1>places where I'm wrong or might be misrepresenting something, but

29
00:01:17.719 --> 00:01:20.480
<v Speaker 1>with the more spontaneous format of a podcast, there's more

30
00:01:20.519 --> 00:01:23.799
<v Speaker 1>scope for error. Thankfully, I'm often talking with an actual

31
00:01:23.840 --> 00:01:26.280
<v Speaker 1>expert who will pick me up on my mistakes real time.

32
00:01:26.719 --> 00:01:28.239
<v Speaker 1>But I'm guessing this won't be the last time I

33
00:01:28.280 --> 00:01:29.879
<v Speaker 1>mess up, and I want to take it seriously when

34
00:01:29.920 --> 00:01:32.640
<v Speaker 1>I do. Thank you for listening to the podcast and

35
00:01:32.680 --> 00:01:35.239
<v Speaker 1>to this apology. One of the great reliefs of being

36
00:01:35.280 --> 00:01:37.959
<v Speaker 1>a Christian is knowing that my many sins and failures

37
00:01:38.000 --> 00:01:41.000
<v Speaker 1>are forgiven thanks to Jesus's death in my place, and

38
00:01:41.040 --> 00:01:43.680
<v Speaker 1>this applies to sins of negligence as well as my

39
00:01:43.920 --> 00:01:46.799
<v Speaker 1>deliberate sins. But that doesn't remove the need to ask

40
00:01:46.799 --> 00:01:48.879
<v Speaker 1>for forgiveness from those I've sinned against and in this

41
00:01:48.959 --> 00:01:52.760
<v Speaker 1>instance that's you guys. Thanks again for listening, and look

42
00:01:52.799 --> 00:01:55.799
<v Speaker 1>for the new season starting on January the twenty first,
