Contextualization: Radical Hospitality
Hosted by Laura Sauriat with guests:

Contextualizing the gospel can be challenging—thankfully, we have the late Dr. Tim Keller and his City to City colleague, Luiz Santana, to offer a gospel-centric understanding of contextualization and its importance in our increasingly globalized world. In this premiere episode, Tim and Luiz share a lively conversation packed with thoughtful discourse and insightful anecdotes. Together, they reveal how contextualization, at its core, embodies a spirit of radical hospitality. Join us as we shed light on this transformative concept, discovering how it transcends mere cultural adaptation to become a powerful instrument for sharing the love of Jesus.
This episode includes teaching from Tim Keller that was recorded separately from the conversation between Tim & Luiz. You can watch the full talk from Tim on Contextualization here.

Personal Gospel Renewal: Grace Like Water
Hosted by Laura Sauriat, with guests:
Abe Cho, Senior Strategy Director, City to City and Associate Pastor Redeemer East Harlem,
Jose Ricardo Escobar, Director, City to City Colombia
“Grace, like water, flows to the lowest part.” ― Philip Yancey
The transforming power of the gospel is a turning point for any believer, but today’s guests illuminate a holistic view of personal renewal which also relies on the Holy Spirit, the grace of God, and community.
Abe and Jose reveal the very tangible ways their own lives have been renewed, and how it is often during times of suffering that God makes himself known to the people around us. Their candor invites us to examine God’s presence and people in our lives.
Join us as we consider the beauty of vulnerability and the healing that the gospel offers all of us, no matter who or where we are.
This episode includes teaching from Tim Keller that was recorded separately from the conversation between Abe and Jose. You can watch the full talk from Tim on Personal Gospel Renewal here.
