Upstream

Last month, pastor-theologian Timothy Keller went home to the Lord. His ministry was filled with incredible successes and unexpected controversies, and raises questions about how Christians should engage our post-Christian culture. Shane welcomes Collin Hansen, author of Timothy Keller: His Spiritual and Intellectual Formation.

Have you ever been knocked off your feet by an ocean wave or gotten stuck on a mountain after dark? Shane and Tim reflect on how modern life allows us to forget our limits and our dependence on God, and how remembering those limits can restore our joy.

What are the limits of religious freedom? Is it possible to “live and let live” in a society where our neighbors have fundamentally different beliefs about the way human sexuality and families work? Tim Padgett joins Shane again to unpack his recent conversation with Jack Phillips and Barronelle Stutzman at the 2022 Wilberforce Weekend.

Christianity remade the world so completely that even so-called “secular” values are just an echo of Christian morality. Shane welcomes speaker, filmmaker, and priest Glen Scrivener to talk about his new book, “The Air We Breathe,” and to reveal what the West owes Jesus, even if we no longer worship Him.

Tim Padgett joins Shane again to reflect on this week’s episode with Dr. Brendan Case about the Christian use of mockery and satire, and how they are compatible with the command to love our enemies.
