Tim Keller’s Legacy

Jake Meador joins Matt, Alastair, and Derek to mark Tim Keller's passing into glory and reflect on his legacy.

Friend of the show, Pastor Timothy Keller, has entered into glory. He was a pivotal player in Evangelicalism over the last generation, and a great encourager of many ministers, including the cast and crew of Mere Fidelity. To pay tribute to his life and legacy, Derek, Alastair, and Matt talk to Editor-in-Chief of Mere Orthodoxy, Jake Meador.
