From New Faith to Gospel Transformation
Since I visited Redeemer in 2007, I have listened to Tim's sermons regularly. As a new Christian at the time, I would listen to his series on the Reason for God. The sermons challenged me to ask honest questions about God and helped me understand how the Gospel is relevant...
Enduring Legacy
Tim Keller has been such a blessing in my life. I have listened to his podcasts for the last several years and have been challenged daily to know Jesus, love Jesus, and follow Jesus with abandon. Tim’s words have often been life-saving and sou-saving for me throughout this season of...
Beloved Uncle I Never Met
After a particularly dark time, I ran from God in shame. Of course I missed him dearly and the Spirit was continually calling me back to the Father, but I found it so hard to pray or read Scripture. About a year ago, I found my favorite TK sermon on...
Now I Know Jesus the King
I grew up in a churchgoing Christian home in the 70s and 80s, but it was the writing (starting with Reason for God) and preaching of Dr. Keller that God used to bring me to Jesus - and continues to use to help me truly understand the Gospel. It sure...
The Grandfather I Never Had
I have heard of Tim Keller before but never really listened to his sermons until one evening — I was at my lowest point ever; massively heartbroken. I was trying to iron my clothes but I could not continue as I felt so much pain and anxiety. I reached out...
Tim’s Books Help a Young Physical Therapist
I first heard of Tim Keller when I read The Reason for God in the summer of 2010. I was in grad school to become a physical therapist at the time. I remember two things after reading that book. 1. I was more sure than ever before that God existed...
Thankful for the Impact in my Life
I just wanted to share a little story of how Tim's teaching impacted me: It was about a year ago when I started listening to the podcast after finding Tim's teaching on YouTube. I listened to an episode called 'Abraham an the torch'. In this episode Tim explains so well...
A Guiding Voice to Deeper Faith
I am so grateful for Tim Keller. He has helped me to grow as a Christian for the past two years. What a gift he had of communicating the gospel in such an understandable way. I loved his calm way of speaking; he preached just as if he were talking...
Thank You Tim
When I was a freshman in high school, I was recognizing that path I was on was empty. Growing up in a Christian home, I knew all the answers to the Sunday school questions. Still, everything wrong in the world seemed so big, and I was alone, and so small....
A Paradigm Shift
I am sure that whoever is reading this was much closer to Dr. Keller than I. As someone who only knew him through his recorded sermons and videos, it is my hope to communicate the profound impact Dr. Keller had on my life so that those who were closer to...
I get the Gospel now…
It was shortly before my twenty-fifth birthday I was at my job doing my work alone, which was normal for the past month or so. Since I had so much time "free" in the day, I decided I should do the "proper Christian thing" and use the time to listen...
Finding Solace in Scripture
After the unexpected loss of my brother in 2019, a cousin suggested I read ‘Walking with God through pain and suffering’. It helped me with the many questions I had. Went on to listen to his sermons on YouTube. The beautiful exposition of the passages very often spoke to me...
Never Met, Forever Changed
My husband and I were on the brink of divorce when we were introduced to the gospel through Tim Keller. He has held our hands (without ever meeting him) through the journey of reconciliation and then through us eventually going into ministry. We found out later that our congregation actually...
It’s all about the Gospel
Tim’s sermons have accompanied me on many a morning commute to and from work. I have been a Christian for many years, but until I started listening to Tim’s sermons, I realize that I have never truly understood the gospel. God has used Tim to bring the gospel into my...
