| 0:00.0 | Well, Welcome once again in the conversations that matter podcast. |
| 0:17.0 | I'm your host John Harris to go over another chapter in the book Engaging |
| 0:20.5 | with Keller. We're going to jump right into it. This is something that for those |
| 0:24.0 | who listen to the podcast you will likely be familiar with and I'm going to give you my |
| 0:29.6 | argument for why you should keep listening why this is still important and not only is it a review, |
| 0:34.0 | because you know we've talked about this before, |
| 0:35.6 | social justice and Tim Keller. |

| 1:26.0 | that that's a feature that Christians can get behind or should get behind and we've talked about that. We'll talk |
| 1:30.9 | about it again today but the key thing Nor zones in on that I haven't focused as much on, but I think I've mentioned it, is that there's a mission drift element here that Tim Keller adds to the mission of the church or reconfigures the mission of the church in a way that makes it more, |
| 1:44.8 | guess what? No surprises here if you've been listening to our series on Keller. More palatable. |
