Hey everyone welcome to the conversationsations of That Matter podcast.

Taking a break from my busy day to give you a short podcast on a Tim Keller thread

that I asked folks on social media whether or not I should talk about and the consensus was yes

John you should so you're listening to this much later I'm recording this on March 4th

but I want to get a bunch of material out there for while I am traveling for a week and a half.

Please pray for me. I'll be speaking in a number of places that the gospel would go

forward that people would understand the dangers of social justice and

what Christianity has to say. So I would appreciate that that but I want to record a bunch of

short videos just to have material for all you who follow the podcast while I am

out there unable to record and so this is kind of a cold reading. I know some of you don't like

that. Some of you do. So I'm going to go through a thread that I know the gist of in

a way. I've skimmed certain tweets tweets in it but I have not read it in detail and I haven't

given it a lot of thought but the thing is we've talked about Tim Keller so much and we've

talked about this third way position that he advocates that it shouldn't be in my mind that

much of a chore to identify the issues and the assumptions that come with this.

So let's together, let's go through it, and I think one of the reasons this is helpful is because

when you get this kind of rhetoric from your pasture in real time and you want to try to respond to

it or ask good questions in real time, then it can be difficult if you haven't

if you're not ready for it and you haven't taken time to mull it over. So I think since so many

pastors are getting their information from these celebrity pastors like

Tim Keller and conference speakers I think it's a great exercise to just kind of

think through beforehand if you can see that influence maybe what a good question
