On today’s episode: Vytorin working on cholesterol numbers; the line between internet and real world pastoral care; The Missionary Headache is available on the iMonk archive site; irreconcilable differences between Roman Catholics and Evangelicals.

Thanks to generous listeners and fellow fans of Michael Spencer, I have added to my collection of podcast episodes over the years. I can’t go all the back to the beginning but I do have some early single digit episodes. Special thanks to “Eclectic Christian” Mike Bell for sharing these early installments.

iMonk Radio: Bonus Track

Here is an interview with Michael Spencer from October of 2008. This is actually episode #2 of the brand new (at the time) SBC Voices podcast hosted by Tony Kummer. I’m not finding the Cornerstone 2009 interview/panel discussion right now but I may be able to go back into my own blog archives and pull it out. I will either post that next week or go back to iMonk Radio Podcast #5. I don’t have the first one but I do have ep’s 5 and 8 so down in the single digits.

Intro: Health concerns and risks of passing a common cup due to the H1N1 swine flu virus. Michael discusses the “scaremongering media” and its intrusion into Christian worship. And this was 2009.

Please Note: There are only a few podcasts left. #165 will be the end of the line. We started this series somewhat in the middle (#105) and then I received some earlier episodes from a couple of generous listeners. I don’t have them all but in a few weeks we will go back back to near the beginning and move forward until the well is dry.
