In his message at TGC Netherlands 2023, Michael Keller explores the concept of "othering," using the Pharisee from a Gospel of Luke parable as an example of self-centeredness and superiority. Keller contends that othering is a universal issue and affects relationships when people overly focus on themselves. Keller urges the importance of introspection and a shift towards a more compassionate and understanding mindset to overcome the destructive nature of othering.

Keller's message concludes by urging the audience to embrace their identity as beloved by God, transcending other labels, and highlighting the transformative power of God's love to end the practice of "othering."

Join Collin Hansen and Melissa Kruger for their annual recap discussion on the biggest stories affecting the church around the world in the last year. This conversation was originally featured on TGC's Gospelbound podcast.

In his message at TGC Netherlands 2023, Michael Keller addresses the rise of secularism and the increasing indifference toward religion, contending that societies become secular not by completely rejecting religion but by becoming apathetic to it. He emphasizes the need for cultural narrative fluency to address the perceived irrelevance of Christianity in today's culture. Keller identifies four prominent secular cultural narratives—identity, freedom, happiness, and power—and advocates for Christians to present a compelling alternative, rooted in the gospel.

Secular narratives urge pursuing happiness through material means and power, but the gospel shows us that we can find true joy in Christ, using power sacrificially. Keller says that by retelling the story of Jesus in a beautiful and compelling way, Christians can offer a transformative narrative that brings joy and completeness to others.

Finally, they end by discussing the current state and future trends of various social and cultural issues in the United States, expressing optimism about the future of the church, and emphasizing the importance of focusing on God's greatness and his leading for the benefit of the whole church.

In his message at TGC Netherlands 2023, Collin Hansen discusses Tim Keller's insights into cultural apologetics and mission in a post-Christian era, focusing on the background of Keller's book Making Sense of God.

Keller, influenced by thinkers like James Davison Hunter, Charles Taylor, Alistair McIntyre, Philip Rieff, and Robert Bellah, critiques the Enlightenment and its inability to provide meaning and justice in the absence of Christian resources.

Hansen outlines seven steps inspired by Keller's approach, including challenging prevailing social assumptions, integrating multidimensional faith, and demonstrating Christian community. Hansen's messages emphasizes the urgent need for apologetics in a cross-pressured, secular age.
