Summary

Transcribed highlights of the show can be found in our episode summaries. Several months ago, Christianity Today’s past editor in chief Mark Galli announced his retirement and Friday was his last day. This also means that Mark’s time as Quick to Listen co-host has concluded. In the interim, Christianity Today’s CEO and president, Timothy Dalrymple, will take the reins as co-host. Christianity Today’s new editor chief? Longtime pastor and writer Daniel Harrell, who most recently served as senior minister of Colonial Church in Edina, Minnesota. Harrell lost his wife Dawn unexpectedly last Easter and the aftermath of his death has been difficult. “A big part of this next season of my life is devoted to her legacy and her love for words and theology and for Christ and wanting to live that well for her, for my daughter, and for myself. said Harrell. Daniel joined longtime host and digital media producer Morgan Lee and new host Tim to discuss his memories of Billy Graham, the themes of his three books on the Old Testament, evolution, and the saints, and what it’s like to hear a call to ministry at a frat party. This episode of Quick to Listen is brought to you by The Southern Baptist Theological Seminary, which offers rigorous theological education for future ministers of the gospel.

0:37.7	I'm Morgan Lee, digital media producer here at Christianity Today.
0:53.4	It has been my pleasure for the last three-ish years to co-host Quick to Listen with Mark Galley, our editor-in-chief. So Christianity
0:55.7	today announced Mark's upcoming retirement back in October, and last Friday was his final day.

1:43.4	just through this
1:44.3	interview. But it is Christianity's new editor-chief, Dr. Daniel Harrell. Tim, you've known Daniel
