Ep 075: De-Sizing the Church (pt 7) How To Use Your God-given Platform Well, with Daniel Darling

  • Summary

  • Fame and celebrity have many downsides. But Daniel Darling brings a balanced approach to this subject by reminding us that fame is also what allows a good message to get through the clutter.

    In this episode, Karl talks with Dan about a Twitter thread Dan wrote expressing appreciation for the fame of Tim Keller.

    It was Tim Keller's platform and the celebrity status it gave him that allowed Dan and so many others to be introduced to Keller’s teachings. Dan’s perspective on the value of having a platform is an important balance to our conversations about the dangers of celebrity.

    Dan Darling is the director of The Land Center, a columnist for WORLD and an opinion contributor for USA Today.
