The Modern Self is Crushing

This talk was given at The Gospel and Our Cities conference in Chicago in 2018. It has been adapted into a FREE ebook and audiobook from Redeemer City to City called How to Reach the West Again.
Christianity is declining in the West. Churches in the United States, Canada, Australia, and Europe are closing their doors at an accelerating rate. How will the church respond? New York Times bestselling author and pastor Timothy Keller argues that this decline should prompt us to rethink the church's mission from the ground up. Using the early church as our guide, churches and individual Christians must examine ourselves, our culture, and Scripture to work toward a new missionary encounter with Western culture that will make the gospel both attractive and credible to a new generation.
