Ep 1248 | Kirkism vs. Kellerism: Why the 'Third Way' Fails
Relatable with Allie Beth Stuckey
What is Keller's Third Way and winsomeness?
Allie defines Tim Keller's Third Way approach and explains its emphasis on staying distinct from politics and using winsomeness to engage culture.
Today, we dive into the Kirk vs. Keller debate: bold truth-telling versus winsome “third way” evangelism. Charlie Kirk’s unapologetic gospel and conservative clarity transformed millions, while Tim Keller’s approach often led to compromise. Join us to reject cultural cowardice, embrace fearless faith, and discern how to evangelize effectively in a hostile world, standing firm for Christ’s truth.
