“You were built to run on God.”
Kathy Keller joins Luke Martin for a personal and illuminating conversation about faith, grief, cultural change and the theological ideas she shared with her late husband, Tim Keller.
She reflects on her bookish Pittsburgh childhood, her remarkable teenage correspondence with C.S. Lewis, and the discovery of substitutionary atonement that shaped her early Christian life. Kathy also discusses the thinkers who most influenced Tim’s preaching – from John Owen and Jonathan Edwards to Herman Bavinck – and why contextualisation is often misunderstood.
A major theme of the episode is sin, which Kathy calls “the last taboo.” Drawing on Tim’s posthumous book What Is Wrong with the World?, she explores how sin disguises itself, how idolatry forms, and why facing our brokenness is essential to understanding grace.
Warm, honest and theologically rich, this conversation offers rare insight from the person who knew Tim Keller best.
