The Impact of Timothy Keller

Timothy Keller’s impact on my life…

I remember a time in my life when I was struggling with life, work stress, and significant personal struggles, that my dear friend Ginny Owens recommended Timothy Keller.

I began listening to his sermons, sometimes for hours a day. The first sermon I heard was called “Work and Rest” (link below). His sermons pulled me out of the pit, and I have been listening ever since.

Certain people are marked for greatness. I believe Tim Keller was the Martin Luther of our time— in that, he reformed the image many of us we had of some popular Christian leaders that projected a legalistic, slick, money collecting, prosperity focused, politically divisive, TV preacher image, into a man of the Gospel who presented a message that was (and is) thoughtful, merciful, relatable, believable, reachable, sustainable, responsible, and life changing.

Thank you God for the incredible life of Tim Keller, his precious wife Kathy, and all of the family and friends surrounding his ministry that sustained him to keep going. He was a North Star to us all—always leading us Jesus.

Well done good and faithful servant. Awaking to a new life in heaven.
