Summary
Tim Keller explores the human need for meaning, contrasting the traditional religious view (connecting to the divine) with the modern secular approach (creating subjective purpose). He argues that while secular meaning may work in easy times, it fails the "acid test" of suffering because it is grounded in the fragile material world. Keller concludes by highlighting Christianity's unique resources—including a weeping, angry, risen, and dying Savior—that equip believers to face suffering with resilience and hope.Episode description
