Episode notes
Gospel Over Performance
- Tullian argues that gospel-centered preaching changes people by reminding them of finished justification rather than demanding constant self-improvement.
- He says grace softens hearts over time and encourages real transformation without guilt-driven performance.
A Prodigal Return
- Tullian recounts dropping out of high school at 16, being kicked out, and living recklessly before returning home like a prodigal son.
- His return sparked intense weeping when he first encountered the radicality of God's grace.
Gospel Is The Ongoing Message
- Tim Keller's teaching reframed the gospel as the A-to-Z of the Christian life for Tullian, not just the entry point.
- This led him to preach "it is finished" messages and repeat the gospel constantly because people forget it.
