The episode you're about to listen to was released back when the mere Christians podcast was called the call to mastery

Now if you love mere Christians, you're still going to love these older episodes because the majority of each

conversation focuses on how the gospel influences the work of our guests. With that disclaimer out of the way, please enjoy the episode.

Hey everybody, welcome to the call to mastery. I'm Jordan Rayner. This is a

podcast for Christians who want to do their most exceptional work for the glory of

God and the good of others. Every week I'm bringing you a

conversation with a Christ follower who's pursuing world-class mastery of

their vocation. We talk about their path to mastery, their daily habits, and how their faith influences

their work.

Hey I hope you guys don't mind.

We've been bringing you more content than usual, dropping quite a few bonus episodes over the last few

weeks but these conversations are just so timely we wanted to make sure we got

them into your ears as quickly as possible. Today I am

welcoming one of my great heroes, NT Wright, to the podcast. If you don't know

who Dr. Wright is, Newsweek calls him quote the world's leading New Testament scholar.

Quite an endorsement. I mention Dr. Wright constantly on this podcast in my

books and in my devotional

nobody not even Tim Keller who you guys know how much I love Keller has influenced my

perspective specifically on heaven and the kingdom and the new heavens and the new earth more than Tom Wright.

It was an absolute honor to welcome him to the call to mastery.

This is a terrific episode. I'm going to go back and listen to this one multiple times.

I'm going to have to read the transcript multiple times to really fully digest everything that Dr. Wright said.
