Dane Ortlund, Pastor and Author

About this episode

Dane Ortlund discusses the gentleness of Christ and its impact on everyday Christian life with Dan Doriani.

How would your life change if you truly believed Jesus is gentle and welcoming toward you at your weakest, not just at your best? In this conversation with Dane Ortlund, pastor and author of Gentle and Lowly, he and Dan Doriani explore the heart of Christ -- his gentleness toward the penitent, his costly, enduring love, and how this vision reshapes everyday Christian life, from how we see ourselves to how we love our families, coworkers, and even those who have hurt us.
