Episode notes
Knowing Versus Doing
- Tim Keller identifies the ultimate human problem: we know how to live but cannot summon the will to do it.
- This failure explains persistent social and moral collapse despite widespread moral knowledge.
Desire Realignment
- Keller explains 'circumcised heart' as God changing desires so duty becomes delight.
- The new heart aligns what you most want with what you ought to do.
Spiritual Perception Over Knowledge
- A changed heart shows not as more doctrine but as new spiritual perception and delight in God.
- Believers begin to 'see' and 'taste' God's beauty, so doctrines move from abstraction to reality.
