Intro by Kathy Keller:
Tim wrote this article in January of 2023 a few months before his death, but it was never published anywhere. As Christians struggle to make sense of today’s political landscape, I believe this article can be useful in helping readers think through the pitfalls and challenges of keeping one’s faith and politics in the right order.
The Stories We Live By: How Jesus Critiques and Completes What Our Culture Tells Us is a new book by my father (Tim Keller) and me. We are the stories we believe. But what if our culture’s stories are failing us? This book reveals the hidden cultural narratives that shape us and points the way to the life we’ve been looking for.
A university city in Ghana where students live only for themselves. A densely populated neighborhood outside Nairobi with not one gospel-preaching church. A township in Uganda struggling with unemployment, corruption and crime. A community between Pretoria and Johannesburg where many search for security and belonging.
The challenges facing these places differ, but Bernard Twumasi, Dan Gachuki, Lauben Ataho and David Kobedi share the same conviction: their cities need the gospel, and God has called them to bring it.
It was a couple of years ago, and I’d been seeing ads for this new “Imagine Me” feature. For the simple price of giving a major corporation images of your face, this AI tool could “imagine” you as … well, just about anything. On this particular afternoon, I was just bored enough—and perhaps just dissatisfied enough—to give it a try.
