#012: Ray Ortlund

Today’s culture is consumed by self-care, expectations and success. But how do those fit in with the gospel? Ray Ortlund, senior pastor at Immanuel Nashville, explores how the gospel should guide our interactions with culture and our work.   Ray has degrees from Wheaton College, Dallas Theological Seminary, The University of California and the University of Aberdeen. He began his ministry in 1975 at a church in Pasadena, California. Though Ray will retire from preaching in 2019, he will continue to serve on the Council of The Gospel Coalition and as the President of Renewal Ministries.   In this episode, Ray discusses... How Christians should view self-care and selflessness. What the balance is between reason and faith. What Ecclesiastes is telling us, and why it matters. Advice for those who feel like they’re coming up short. Keys to a successful leadership succession. And much more.
