Why pick Keller?

In case you’ve been living in a cave, Keller is way cool right now. Look at him, he's one of those people that is so smart his brain takes all the juice and leaves none for growing hair. And lots of the ideas flowing from his big brain are getting traction and plenty of airtime. A friend thinks he’s the Driscoll for the anyone old than 25. I've heard of 50 year old blokes going on pilgrimage to NYC to hear Keller preach. People can’t get enough of the TK, or Ghostface as the call him in Tas.

As I worked on my project, a question I got all the time was, 'Why pick on Tim? I mean, we love him so much! He has done such great stuff. Even if I have to buy his sermons, he’s still a rockin preacher! Keller’s a good guy, isn’t he?'

This question frustrated me a little. Surely if we rate someone so highly we ought to think a little bit about what they are on about, no matter who they are. Friend or foe. If they have something new or novel, surely we gotta ask the question, ‘Is that right?’

And that’s what my project was about. An attempt at asking a mate who has an interesting idea about the best way to do things, ‘Is that right?’

Now Keller is a good guy. I’m a fan and over this year I have grown in my respect and appreciation for him. But we still gotta ask the question, ‘Is his priority to the city right?’

But before we ask that question, I reckon it's worth working out why we love Keller so much. I had two ideas but there are probably a whole lot more.
