Tim Keller legacy

 What would it look like for us to follow in the steps of @timkellernyc? A few thoughts. (Feel free to add your own.)


1. Live lives of fervent prayer.

2. Be faithful to our spouses. Cultivate deep mutual friendship and collaboration.

3. Take steps of bold faith-filled risk, when we sense God’s call.

4. Invest in building networks and long-term institutions over personal platforms.

5. Acknowledge where we are gifted or not — and delegate to others. 

6. Release and distribute our power to the next generation.

7. Seek to truly understand others, even those we most strongly disagree with.

8. Focus our energy on the center, rather than the periphery.

9. Work within historic streams and traditions.

10. Innovate for each new context.

11. Build bridges outside our own tribes.

12. Influence through personal relationships and offline conversations, rather than trolling on social media.

13. Think out the many applications and implications of our faith.

14. Always be reading. Stay curious.

15. Remember to continually tend to our own hearts with the gospel.

16. Be generous with words of encouragement.
