A Conversation with Pastor Tim Keller about Hope in Times in Fear

I am joined by Pastor Tim Keller to talk about his new book, Hope in Times of Fear: The Resurrection and the Meaning of Easter (Viking, 2021). We talk about wrestling with our mortality, how to order our loves in this life, and finding hope in the midst of suffering. 

Pastor Timothy Keller is the founding pastor of Redeemer Presbyterian Church in Manhattan, which he started in 1989 with his wife, Kathy, and three young sons. For 28 years, he led a diverse congregation of young professionals that grew to a weekly attendance of over 5,000. He is also the Chairman & Co-Founder of Redeemer City to City (CTC), which starts new churches in New York and other global cities, and publishes books and resources for ministry in an urban environment. Dr. Keller’s 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.

Rainier Valley Church Guest Speaker: Mike Johnson

We're really looking forward to having Mike Johnson with us at Rainier Valley Church this Sunday.

Mike Johnson is a husband of 27 years, and father of 7—all adopted. He loves Jesus, the Word of God, his family, mountains, and homeless people.

He is a main subject of a 2015 documentary film on Netflix called A New High. Mike currently leads the Yakima Union Gospel Mission.

Mike will preach a message from Romans 10:11 titled Ropes Not Chains, about how the Gospel lifts shame and fear by saving us all… equally.

Scared of the Dark! - How fear humbles us.

Interesting thing happened at work the other day during closing. The guys I work with started talking about the apparently creepy history of Priest Point Park here in Olympia. From Indian burial grounds to suicides, stories of the bizarre continued late into the night as we closed the park up. How factual these stories are is highly debatable, but I kept thinking how interesting it was that these modern rational guys all agreed that they would be terrified to be left alone in the dark forest of an empty park long after closing.

So the next time someone tells me there is no such thing as Satan, evil, demons, etc, I think I'll put their hypothesis to the test and offer to drop them off deep in the forest during the middle of the night by themselves for a more balanced approach to the subject. Something very honest and humbling happens to the human soul when it's plucked out of the simple, even unnoticed comforts of the city and placed in the middle of a dark forest where there is absolutely no one for miles. In the forest there are no street lights, no cell phone coverage, no cars, no shelter, nothing that can puff the soul up with pride and make is feel secure, its all gone way out there and the soul is faced with honest, humbling, pure, primal fear.
