Pastor and theologian John Stott passed away today<\/a> at the age of 90. The more I read him, the more I am blessed that he made room for some of us younger evangelicals to wrestle with many difficult theological issues of our day. He believed: evolution and Scripture are compatible, in a conditional immortality view rather than the traditional view of hell, in justice issues, and creation care\u2026 just to name a few.<\/p>\n

Last year, I received a free copy of Stott\u2019s final book, The Radical Disciple<\/a>. In this short Video Blog, I explored the major ideas of one chapter in particular called \u201cCreation Care.\u201d As a tribute to his passing into glory, I want to share this with you again. This short video is just one example of his amazing contribution to the broader evangelical conversation.<\/p>\n
