The Philip Yancey interview: Paranoia, writing and why we’re distracted from what really matters
Listen now
Description
The bestselling evangelical author Philip Yancey is coming to the UK this September for a tour with The Leprosy Mission. In this interview he talks about his writing process, reading habits and why he doesn’t own a smartphone. For Yancey, recent debates among Christians over the Trump presidency are a distraction from what really matters. “I believe our mission is to create pioneer settlements of the Kingdom of God,” he says. “We’re supposed to be presenting a united front that demonstrates to people the life that Jesus showed us is the best life for the world, and to attract them.” For more information about Philip Yancey’s UK tour with the leprosy mission visit bit.ly/FearfullyandWonderfully
