Podcast appearances and mentions of Kathy Keller

Over the decades there has been widespread erosion in the meaning and purpose of marriage. As Timothy and Kathy Keller note in the their book,The Meaning of Marriage, "Marriage used to be a public institution for the common good, and is now a private arrangement for the satisfaction of the individuals. Marriage used to be about us, but now it is aboutme." The erosion of marriage is not new. Jesus faced it in his day and a made a clear and compelling case for a return to God's grand design for marriage.

In the episode of More Than Roommates, Derek, Gabrielle, and Scott discuss our tendency and desire to win and be right in marriage, when the goal is to “lose”, become more like Jesus, pursue oneness, and walk in humility. Scriptures:Gen 2:18-25John 10:10Phil 2:3-41 Tim 1:151 Cor 13:6 Resources:Removed Series from Harris CreekWatermark Marriage Conference – Lance Sisco - Keeping Score in Your MarriageBook – The Meaning of Marriage, by Timothy & Kathy KellerMore Than Roommates Episode 94 – How to Be a Better Listener in MarriageQuestions to Discuss:1.

On this episode of the podcast, I interview journalist and author Collin Hansen about his new book titled Tim Keller: His Spiritual and Intellectual Formation. The conversation explores a prominent model of evangelism and cultural engagement by a Reformed pastor in contemporary times. Among the topics we discuss: The process of writing a different sort of biography of Tim Keller, focused on the people who influenced him Notable influences on Keller's ministry, with familiar and unfamiliar names (Kathy Keller, Jonathan Edwards, C.S. Lewis, R.C. Sproul, Elizabeth Elliot, Ed Clowney, Jack Miller, Barbara Boyd) What to make of the (recent) online backlash against Keller An updated assessment of the "young, restless, and reformed" movement from the person who helped coin the term The relationship of "Reformed" and "evangelical" and how they could be a source of renewal for each other How the work of journalism might be redeemed as a way of telling stories about the way that God is at work in the world.

Listen in as we wrap up our series through the book of Hebrews. Notes//Quotes: Hebrews 13:20-25 “The author wants believers to live out God's will in light of the work of Christ.” - George Guthrie Here is the sea, great and wide,
 which teems with creatures innumerable,
 living things both small and great. There go the ships,
 and Leviathan, which you formed to play in it. These all look to you,
 to give them their food in due season. When you give it to them, they gather it up;
 when you open your hand, they are filled with good things. When you hide your face, they are dismayed;
 when you take away their breath, they die
 and return to their dust. (Ps. 104:25-29) Food comes at proper seasons (verse 27) and is gathered (verse 28) yet through all it is God who is giving us food (verse 27). The great sea creatures “frolic” and leap in the air (verse 26) and the swallows perform Ariel acrobatics. While those activities may also have practical purposes, in some deeper sense, these creatures know the joy and freedom of doing what they were “formed" to do by God. We too, can know joy and fulfillment only as we live, according to God's design. At this point, nature has us beat. As Elizabeth Elliot has said, "a clam glorifies God better than we do, because the clam is being everything it was created to be, whereas we are not.” Prayer: Lord, disobeying you is easy in the short run but hard in the long run because I'm violating my own nature. And so obedience to you can be excruciating to start, but it's wonderful in time, because I become my true self. Oh, help me to remember this when things get hard! Amen. —Timothy Keller with Kathy Keller, The Songs of Jesus

Kathy Keller says that “If every crisis in life causes us to doubt God’s goodness then we haven’t reached our tipping point. We reach it when no matter what happens, we’re convinced God is good. It’s OK if you’re not there. It’s a journey! Kathy’s an author and speaker who’s the wife of the late Tim Keller who went to Jesus in May of 2023 after a battle with pancreatic cancer at the height of his ministry. Kathy shares how she trusts the goodness of God especially on days she misses Tim most. She shares how “Death concentrates the mind wonderfully.” Facing death helps us shed our counterfeit gods. Perry and Kathy share how grateful they are for all the times God has said “No,” to their prayers. Then, whatever we fear losing most in life is an idol. And Kathy shares what she was holding onto so tightly before Tim was diagnosed with cancer. And last, Tim Keller shares what conquers all our idols, all our anxieties and all our greatest fears: The gospel!Support the show: https://give.moodyradio.org/fall-share?v=def&appeal=MRWM&_gl=1%2a142i9we%2a_ga%2aNTE4MTE5MmUtY2U1Yy00YmQ3LWU4MmUtNjEwYTQ5YzAyODRj%2a_ga_4WH1937046%2aMTY5NTExODEwMS4yOTkuMC4xNjk1MTE4MTAxLjYwLjAuMA..&_ga=2.197426156.215784306.1695059984-1182841406.166859587See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

“The justice behind God's creation of male and female and his arrangement of the different roles he chose for them may not always be apparent to us. Why one and not the other? But should we expect our finitude to understand the infinite, omnipotent, wise, good, lovely, gracious justice of God? Perhaps some inkling resides in the dance of the sexes, by which we reveal truth about the inner life of the triune God. The rest is clothed in mystery, to which we yield, with full confidence that it is meant for our good.”— Kathy Keller 1 Corinthians 11:2-16

This is a re-post of an excellent interview from Ryan Biese on the Westminster Standard with his wife Ann Biese, Sarah Morris on the book "Jesus Calling" and its connection to the PCA. Original show notes: In 2004 Covenant Seminary Graduate and MTW Missionary Sarah Young Published Jesus Calling, a daily devotional written in the first person as if Jesus were speaking directly to the reader. But the words were not those of Christ, but the private thoughts and reflections of the author. Since the time of publication, Young's book has sold more than 45 million copies making it perhaps the most influential book written by a member of the PCA or Covenant Seminary graduate. On this week's episode TE Zack Groff joins along with Mrs Sean Morris and Mrs Ryan Biese to discuss what Groff described as a "defiling influence" upon evangelicalism. Why was it so few PCA people warned about this book, which seems to deviate from what the PCA confesses regarding the way God meets with His people. Read TE Benj.

How do you have a successful marriage? Whether you are a Christian, skeptic, single, longtime married person, or someone about to be engaged—there are many different ways to answer this question. And yet Tim and Kathy Keller argue that the Bible's vision for marriage is far greater and more glorious than anything our modern culture would have us believe. On today's episode of the Great Stories podcast, Charles Morris revisits a conversation from the archives with his old friends Tim and Kathy Keller. Their book, The Meaning of Marriage, serves as a launching off point for this in-depth conversation that covers the gamut of what marriage really means from the Lord's perspective.

Ephesians 5:22-33 Read Ephesians 5:18-33 The sermon this past Sunday surveyed (1) the heart of marriage, (2) the desired outcome of marriage, and (3) the dance that husbands and wives play out in marriage. 1. In your observation, what would you estimate are the the predominant reasons for why people get married today? How might those reasons be in line with God’s design for marriage, or contrary to God’s design for marriage. 2. Describe some of the differences between “consumer” and “covenant” models of marriage. “If God had the gospel of Jesus’s salvation in mind when he established marriage, then marriage only “works” to the degree that approximates the pattern of God’s self-giving love in Christ.” (Tim & Kathy Keller, The Meaning of Marriage) 3. What do you think helps one improve in “the pattern of God’s self-giving love in Christ?” 4. What do you need to make marriage work? How does “living by the spirit” (Eph. 5:18) fit into your life? 5. What would you estimate is the hardest yet most important function of being a husband or a wife? “If our views of marriage are too romantic and idealistic, we underestimate the influence of sin on human life. If they are too pessimistic and cynical, we misunderstand marriage’s divine origin.” (Tim & Kathy Keller, The Meaning of Marriage) 6. If you are married what do you think are the greatest potential threats to your marriage, and how do you propose to manage that? If you are not married, what do you think are the greatest potential threats to your heart: “idolizing” marriage, being cynical and heard hearted towards marriage.

Bible Study Don't just take our word for it . . . take His! We would encourage you to spend time examining the following Scriptures that shaped this sermon: . Sermon Notes From Genesis 1 and 2, we learn that men and women together, in partnership, are called by God to bear his image and carry out his purposes in the world. They are equal but have different, complementary strengths and roles. Two interpretations of 1 Timothy 2:12 - “I do not permit a woman to teach or to exercise authority over a man; rather, she is to remain quiet.” This is a universal teaching for the church in every place and every time. It restricts women from serving in positions of leadership which exercise authority through teaching and preaching (typically a pastor/sr. pastor). Strengths – straightforward reading of the text, even if unpopular. Emphasizes the complementarity of men and women from Genesis 2. Weaknesses – hard to be consistent in application. Some churches are overly restrictive, going beyond the Bible's teaching. Others are minimally restrictive - only restricting women from serving as a senior pastor or a bishop. Further reading on this interpretation: Kathy Keller, Jesus, Justice, and Gender Roles; Robert Yarbrough, The Letters to Timothy and Titus, Pillar New Testament Commentary This is a localized teaching for the church in Ephesus. It does not apply to all churches in every place. Therefore women can serve in positions of leadership, including as senior pastors who preach and teach. This interpretation is reached by examining the cultural situation in Ephesus. Strengths – emphasizes the equality of men and women from Genesis 1. Takes cultural background research seriously. Weaknesses – hard to reconstruct cultural situation. Conclusions can often be speculative. Sometimes this interpretation applies the background of the text, rather than the actual words. Background study is not normally meant to overturn the plain reading of the text, but to provide nuance and depth. Further reading on this interpretation: Michael Bird, Bourgeois Babes, Bossy Wives, and Bobby Haircuts; Philip Towner, The Letters of Timothy and Titus, The New International Commentary on the New Testament Side note on 1 Tim 2:15 - "she will be saved through childbearing…" Paul is NOT saying that a woman receives eternal salvation by having a baby! We know this from numerous other passages where Paul clearly teaches that salvation is by grace through faith in the finished work of Christ. Paul may be referring back to Genesis 3 and the consequences of the fall for Eve/women which was pain in childbirth. He may also be responding to false teaching from the ancient sexual revolution which devalued marriage and motherhood. Further reading: see Yarbrough and Towner commentaries referenced above Application 1 - we need to allow Scripture to critique and correct our culturally generated perspectives. Whether we come from a more traditional perspective or we have been influenced by the feminist movement, the Bible offers a more beautiful and profound story about men and women as an expression of God's creative glory. Application 2 – God's mission requires that men and women served together in partnership to advance the kingdom. Even if there is a restriction on women from serving in particular leadership roles (and there may not be depending on interpretation), the contributions, gifts, and leadership of women is essential for the mission. Sermon Application Explain equality and complementarity between men and women from Genesis 1&2 in your own words. What is your background with women serving as pastors in the church? Has your mind changed over time? Where do you base your beliefs? What does it look like to treat other churches with a different interpretation than yours with charity and humility? Has your gender kept you from offering your gifts and leadership in the local church?

We're at a cultural moment in which most people recognize that marriage is struggling. And what does the Christian vision of marriage have to say for that? We believe that understanding the biblical vision for marriage will help you no matter your own situation. We're applying it to the culture. We're applying it to unmarried people. We're applying it to married people. Kathy and I will each talk about different aspects of this. We'll look at 1) marriage and our culture, and 2) the biblical contours of marriage: the power, the essence, the purpose, and the three major means of marriage. This talk was given by Dr. Timothy Keller and Kathy Keller at Redeemer Presbyterian Church on March 30, 2012 for the conference "Marriage, Sex & Singleness Conference".

There's a wide spectrum of how individuals experience singleness: some would describe it as suffering, others might just call it sadness, and still others say it's a sense of freedom. It's important to recognize though that the experience of suffering and unhappiness are a part of life for everyone—whether you are a single Christian, whether you are happily married, or whether you are unhappily married. Our core challenge is to live a godly and holy life in whatever condition we are in. Every situation will have its particularities, but the similarities are greater than the differences. I'd like to talk about how to live godly lives in Christ under any of our circumstances. This talk was given by Kathy Keller at Redeemer Presbyterian Church on March 1, 2014 for the conference "S1NGLE: God's Gifts — Our Plans".

Sermon Notes Sex was created by God to be a bonding experience so powerful that two separate things could become one through this moment. Genesis‬ ‭2‬:‭24‬ ‭NIV‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬ That is why a man leaves his father and mother and is united to his wife, and they become one flesh. – God Mark‬ ‭10‬:‭8‬-‭9‬ ‭NIV‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬ "and the two will become one flesh.' So they are no longer two, but one flesh. Therefore what God has joined together, let no one separate." – Jesus Ephesians‬ ‭5‬:‭31‬ ‭NIV‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬ "For this reason a man will leave his father and mother and be united to his wife, and the two will become one flesh." – Apostle Paul Sex is beautifully designed by God to foster oneness in marriage. 1 Corinthians‬ ‭6‬:‭16‬‬ ‭NIV‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬ Do you not know that he who unites himself with a prostitute is one with her in body? For it is said, "The two will become one flesh." "Kathy and I were virgins when we married. Even in our day, that may have been the minority experience, but that meant that on our wedding night we were not in any position to try to impress or entice one another. All we were trying to do was to tenderly express with our bodies the oneness we had first begun feeling as friends and which had then had grown stronger and deeper as we fell in love. Frankly, that night I was clumsy and awkward and fell asleep anxious and discouraged. Sex was frustrating at first. It was the frustration of an artist who has in his head a picture or a story but lacks the skills to express it." – Timothy and Kathy Keller, The Meaning of Marriage In Song of Solomon: The wife speaks first, the wife speaks last, and the wife speaks most, EXCEPT when it comes to the moment when they make love. Song of Songs‬ ‭4‬:‭1‬ ‭NIV‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬ How beautiful you are, my darling! Oh, how beautiful! Your eyes behind your veil are doves. Your hair is like a flock of goats descending from the hills of Gilead. Song of Songs‬ ‭4‬:‭2‬ ‭NIV‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬ Your teeth are like a flock of sheep just shorn, coming up from the washing. Each has its twin; not one of them is alone. Song of Songs‬ ‭4‬:‭3‬ ‭NIV‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬ Your lips are like a scarlet ribbon; your mouth is lovely. Your temples behind your veil are like the halves of a pomegranate. Song of Songs‬ ‭4‬:‭4‬ ‭NIV‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬ Your neck is like the tower of David, built with courses of stone; on it hang a thousand shields, all of them shields of warriors. Song of Songs‬ ‭4‬:‭5‬ ‭NIV‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬ Your breasts are like two fawns, like twin fawns of a gazelle that browse among the lilies. Song of Songs‬ ‭4‬:‭6‬ ‭NIV‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬ Until the day breaks and the shadows flee, I will go to the mountain of myrrh and to the hill of incense. Song of Songs‬ ‭4‬:‭7‬ ‭NIV‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬ You are altogether beautiful, my darling; there is no flaw in you. Song of Songs‬ ‭4‬:‭9‬ ‭NIV‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬ You have stolen my heart, my sister, my bride; you have stolen my heart with one glance of your eyes, with one jewel of your necklace. Song of Songs‬ ‭4‬:‭10‬ ‭NIV How delightful is your love, my sister, my bride! How much more pleasing is your love than wine, and the fragrance of your perfume more than any spice!‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬ Song of Songs‬ ‭4‬:‭11‬ ‭NIV‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬ Your lips drop sweetness as the honeycomb, my bride; milk and honey are under your tongue. The fragrance of your garments is like the fragrance of Lebanon. Song of Songs‬ ‭4‬:‭12‬ ‭NIV‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬ You are a garden locked up, my sister, my bride; you are a spring enclosed, a sealed fountain. Song of Songs‬ ‭4‬:‭13‬-‭14‬ ‭NIV‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬ Your plants are an orchard of pomegranates with choice fruits, with henna and nard, nard and saffron, calamus and cinnamon, with every kind of incense tree, with myrrh and aloes and all the finest spices. Song of Songs‬ ‭4‬:‭15‬ ‭NIV You are a garden fountain, a well of flowing water streaming down from Lebanon.‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬ Song of Songs‬ ‭4‬:‭16‬ ‭NIV‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬ Awake, north wind, and come, south wind! Blow on my garden, that its fragrance may spread everywhere. Let my beloved come into his garden and taste its choice fruits. Both the groom and the bride are giving the other what they desire in this moment. "With sex, we were trying to be vulnerable to each other, to give each other the gift of bare-faced rejoicing in one another, and to know the pleasure of giving one another pleasure. And as the weeks went by, and then the years, we did it better and better. Yes, it means making love sometimes when one or even both of you are not "in the mood." But sex in a marriage, done to give joy rather than to impress, can change your mood on the spot. The best sex makes you want to weep tears of joy, not bask in the glow of a good performance." - Timothy and Kathy Keller, The Meaning of Marriage Song of Songs‬ ‭5‬:‭1a‬ ‭NIV‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬ I have come into my garden, my sister, my bride; I have gathered my myrrh with my spice. I have eaten my honeycomb and my honey; I have drunk my wine and my milk. Song of Songs‬ ‭5‬:‭1‬b ‭NIV Eat, friends, and drink; drink your fill of love.‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬ Are you being a selfless lover to your spouse in your marriage? If not, why? Is there any area where you need to ask God to heal your heart, soul, mind, or body related to sex? Is there any change you sense God is telling you to make in your approach to sex? Ask Him for the courage to do that.

Tim Keller always encouraged Christians to share the hope and beauty of the gospel with the people God puts in their lives. The ministry of Gospel in Life is most effective in spreading the gospel when you are prayerfully and thoughtfully sharing our sermons, books and articles with your family, friends and coworkers who don't yet have a personal faith in Christ.  As an encouragement to you and to remind all of us about the beauty of the gospel, you'll hear a short message from Redeemer City to City's Tim Keller tribute video. In it, Tim gives a short and winsome presentation of the gospel which reminds us how salvation comes from God and we do nothing to save ourselves.   Tim and Kathy Keller have set Gospel in Life on a clear course to continue pointing people to the love and forgiveness found in Christ, and with your help and the work of the Holy Spirit we are praying that in the years ahead many people will come to know Jesus and many more will grow in their faith through this ministry.

The Christian Outlook – May 27, 2023 Kevin McCullough invites John Welborn of Salem Church in New York City to talk about the impact that Dr. Tim Keller had on his life and the lives of countless others. John Hall and Kathy Emmons invite Tim and Kathy Keller to talk about the need to catalog and share his teachings for future use while expressing optimism about the growth of multiethnic churches in the United States due to the increasing number of Christian immigrants. Eric Metaxas talks with Tim Keller about Keller's book "Making Sense of God: An Invitation to the Skeptical," where Keller discusses the role of reason, faith, and the six fundamental aspects of human existence that Christianity addresses. Frank Sontag interviews Tim and Kathy Keller about their devotional book based on the Psalms. The Kellers explain their motivation to provide a more substantive devotional that engages with scripture and prayer, sharing their personal experiences with the Psalms and emphasizing the importance of engaging deeply with the passages through reflection and self-examination. In a sermon following the 9/11 attack in New York City, Tim Keller explores the Christian resurrection, explaining that Jesus promises not just consolation, but the transformation of all suffering and the restoration of a new world where everything is made right. Tim Keller emphasizes how Jesus serves as the perfect counselor, offering tailored responses of truth, tears, and grace to people in need.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Very few people have sacrificed as much personally or absorbed as much pain for the sake of defending and living their life in alignment with their gender theology as Kathy Keller has. She has demonstrated major skin in the game, which commands great respect.

In this short special episode, Tim and Kathy Keller have a conversation about the resurrection of Jesus as the historically verifiable event on which the Christian faith stands.

The Gospel Coalition's Foundation Documents include a “theological vision for ministry,” originally drafted by Tim Keller. I had never heard of theological vision before I read this statement in 2007. Soon I learned that the concept originated by Richard Lints in his book The Fabric of Theology. Theological vision is the space between your doctrinal beliefs and your ministry programs. Theological vision helps you adapt your ministry to changing conditions while keeping centered on the unchanging gospel.Richard Lints has published a new book, Uncommon Unity: Wisdom for the Church in an Age of Division, which includes a foreword from Keller. In this book Lints exposes problems with the inclusion narrative of democracy and offers a better way forward to find unity amid unprecedented cultural diversity in our day.He writes, “The main thing I want to do in this book is to view the gospel story as the interpretive lens through which we best understand the telos of creation as a rich, deep, and complex unity-in-difference.”In this special season of Gospelbound, we're exploring in depth several key influences that appear in my book Timothy Keller: His Spiritual and Intellectual Formation. Lints is himself one of those influences. He is senior consulting theologian at Redeemer City to City in New York City. Previously, he served as Andrew Mutch Distinguished Professor of Theology at Gordon-Conwell Theological Seminary in South Hamilton, Massachusetts, alma mater of Tim and Kathy Keller. I was grateful for this chance on Gospelbound to talk with him about unity, diversity, theological vision, and much more.
