Tim Keller on life, faith, and suffering
In light of renowned New York pastor and author Tim Keller’s recent death on May 19th 2023, we wanted to revisit this interview he did with Justin Brierley from Easter 2014.
Tim talked to Justin and answered listener questions about his life, faith and ministry. They also discussed his then-latest book ‘Walking With God Through Pain and Suffering’.
