To Be Continued... with Tim Keller

Episode 2
City Theology: In Your City as it is in Heaven

Hosted by Laura Sauriat, with guests:
Mark Reynolds, Global Strategy, Redeemer City to City, New York, NY

Bilge (last name and title withheld for security reasons), Istanbul, Turkey

Cities stand as beacons of remarkable human achievement. Yet beneath their surface lies a complex landscape marked by injustice, conflict, and competing worldviews. In the midst of this urban mosaic, how should Christians navigate the unique dynamics at play within their own communities?

Today’s episode calls upon two guests whose personal commitment to their cities is uncontested, but not without challenge. Mark and Bilge live out their calling in two distinct cities; Mark in Manhattan, a decidedly post-Christian city, and Bilge, in Istanbul, which he considers pre-Christian.

Listen in as they highlight the notable differences between these Eastern and Western cultural influences, while also identifying what unifies Christians in their endeavor to serve the city while being shaped by the gospel.

​​This episode includes teaching from Tim Keller that was recorded separately from the conversation between Mark and Bilge. You can watch the full talk from Tim on City Theology here.
