Dr. Tim Keller on Freedom, Pleasure, and the Love of God

In 2023, the church lost one of its great thinkers. Dr. Tim Keller was the founding pastor of Redeemer Presbyterian Church in Manhattan. For 28 years he led a diverse congregation of young professionals that grew to a weekly attendance of over 5,000. His books, including the New York Times bestselling The Reason for God and The Prodigal God, have sold over 2 million copies and been translated into 25 languages. Several years before Dr. Keller’s passing, our CEO David Eaton had the chance to join him for a wide-ranging conversation about freedom, pleasure, truth, parenting, whether we should force teens to go to church, and how our culture shapes which feelings we interpret as representing our identity, among many other things. We hope you’ll enjoy it. For more parenting resources, go to axis.org
