Pastor Tim Keller is a Presbyterian legend. Redeemer Church, which he planted in Manhattan, became a model for dozens of churches across the US and the globe. His sermons, lectures, interviews, and books presented a provocative and winsome gospel to today's cultured skeptics. Even during his lifetime, Keller was a flashpoint, and the debate over his work and legacy has continued since his death in 2023. To many, he is a stalwart hero; to others, his effort to be winsome left him defenseless against the aggressive progressivism of the early twenty-first century. On October 17, 2025, the Theopolis Institute and Immanuel Reformed Church co-hosted a conversation on Keller's life and legacy between James Wood, author of the widely-discussed essay, "How I Evolved on Tim Keller," and Collin Hansen, author of the intellectual biography, Tim Keller: His Spiritual and Intellectual Formation. Peter Leithart, President of Theopolis, moderated the discussion. James Wood is an Associate Professor of Religion and Theology at Redeemer University in Hamilton, Ontario. Collin Hansen is Vice President for content at The Gospel Coalition and Executive Director of the Keller Center for Cultural Apologetics.

On this episode of The Disciple-Making Parent, we explore the concept of "disenculturation" as an alternative to "deconstruction." We sit down with Collin Hansen, Vice President for content and editor in chief at the Gospel Coalition, to understand how Christians can evaluate their cultural practices through a biblical lens.Through engaging examples from church history, we examine how to distinguish between essential biblical truths and cultural practices that have become intertwined with faith. From worship styles to dress codes, we discuss how different generations navigate these distinctions. We also tackle challenging topics like historical Christian responses to racism and segregation, while offering practical advice for parents and pastors on helping their communities distinguish between non-negotiable faith elements and cultural expressions.Drawing from examples like the Jesus Revolution and contemporary church practices, we learn how to maintain strong biblical convictions while showing grace toward different cultural expressions of faith. ----NEW RESOURCE: "Launch: Biblical Help to Move Your Teen or Young Adult Into the Real World" - A concise one-hour read packed with essential guidance for parents navigating the challenging transition of teens into adulthood.

In his message at TGC Netherlands 2023, Collin Hansen discusses Tim Keller's insights into cultural apologetics and mission in a post-Christian era, focusing on the background of Keller's book Making Sense of God.Keller, influenced by thinkers like James Davison Hunter, Charles Taylor, Alistair McIntyre, Philip Rieff, and Robert Bellah, critiques the Enlightenment and its inability to provide meaning and justice in the absence of Christian resources.Hansen outlines seven steps inspired by Keller's approach, including challenging prevailing social assumptions, integrating multidimensional faith, and demonstrating Christian community. Hansen's messages emphasizes the urgent need for apologetics in a cross-pressured, secular age.Original conference media courtesy of: https://www.geloofstoerusting.nl/
At TGC Netherlands 2023, Collin Hansen examines Tim Keller's life and ministry through the concept of "rings on a tree," revealing the different influences that shaped Keller as a believer and pastor. Hansen describes how Keller held an inspiring commitment to lifelong learning and spiritual formation, even in the face of illness, and how Keller's final years were marked by a deep focus on eternity, as he searched for a deeper communion with God and prepared for his own death. Hansen also highlights how a strong sense of community, diverse mentors, and a deep love for the gospel all shaped the influential legacy of Tim Keller.
In this panel discussion from TGC's 2018 West Coast Conference, Collin Hansen, Ray Ortlund, Kevin DeYoung, and Juan Sánchez discuss the prevalence of suffering in the lives of faithful Christians, citing examples from history and encouraging listeners to embrace their own suffering as a means of deeper spiritual growth. They advise younger pastors and ministry leaders to trust in the Lord as their defender, wait for him to straighten out tough situations, and give honest answers in formal settings, while keeping quiet in informal humiliation. The panel also focuses their discussion on the importance of gentleness and self-control in ministry, particularly in response to criticism and opposition.Ultimately, to endure suffering in ministry and live faithfully to Jesus is to live in the fellowship of his sufferings. Ortlund says, “This has taken me to a deeper place with Jesus than I've ever dreamed of going.”
Sarah Eekhoff Zylstra—co-author (with Collin Hansen) of the new book Gospelbound: Living with Resolute Hope in an Anxious Age—discusses some of the reasons anxiety is on the rise. She explains how Christians can find peace in two seemingly contradictory ways: by thinking big, and by thinking small.

During a panel discussion led by Collin Hansen at TGCW22, Jackie Hill Perry, Preston Perry, Melissa Kruger, and Michael Kruger discuss what it looks like to have healthy, godly marriages. Both couples emphasize the need for respect, listening, authenticity, and confession. The panel also talks about the importance of focusing on the positive aspects of your spouse and being for your spouse in every situation, never trying simply to win an argument.Hansen asks questions like “How do you protect your marriage?” and “What does it mean to honor your spouse's family?” The couples talk about the importance of pursuing healthy friendships, having fun together, and praying for one another daily. They say marriage is a reflection of the individual's relationship with God and that as you both look to Christ together, more unity in marriage inevitably follows.
