Tim Keller on the Christian Life | Matt Smethurst

In this episode, I sit down with Matt Smethurst to discuss his book "Tim Keller on the Christian Life." Matt talks about what made Tim Keller such a unique and influential voice, his gospel-centered vision of the Christian life, his ability to reach skeptics and secular culture, and why Keller’s work still resonates with so many Christians today.

Matt Smethurst serves as lead pastor of River City Baptist Church in Richmond, Virginia. He also cohosts and edits The Everyday Pastor podcast from The Gospel Coalition. Matt is the author of Tim Keller on the Christian Life: The Transforming Power of the Gospel (Crossway, 2025), Before You Share Your Faith: Five Ways to Be Evangelism Ready (10Publishing, 2022) and many more.
