You’ve probably heard the clichés:
All religions are the same.
Humans are basically good.
It doesn’t really matter what you believe, so long as you are sincere.
While these stock phrases may be familiar, that doesn’t mean they’re easy to refute.
My guest today is Jared C. Wilson, director of content strategy for Midwestern Baptist Theological Seminary. Jared blogs at The Gospel-Driven Church. He’s also the author of a new book called Unparalleled: How Christianity’s Uniqueness Makes It Compelling (Baker). He joined me to talk about why Christianity’s uniqueness furthers and facilitates evangelistic conversations. Thanks to Betsy Childs Howard for her help in preparing the interview.
Free eBook by Tim Keller: ‘The Freedom of Self-Forgetfulness’
Imagine a life where you don’t feel inadequate, easily offended, desperate to prove yourself, or endlessly preoccupied with how you look to others. Imagine relishing, not resenting, the success of others. Living this way isn’t far-fetched. It’s actually guaranteed to believers, as they learn to receive God’s approval, rather than striving to earn it.
In Tim Keller’s short ebook, The Freedom of Self-Forgetfulness: The Path To True Christian Joy, he explains how to overcome the toxic tendencies of our age一not by diluting biblical truth or denying our differences一but by rooting our identity in Christ.
TGC is offering this Keller resource for free, so you can discover the “blessed rest” that only self-forgetfulness brings.
