What if Jesus really meant what he said?

A Legacy Worth Passing On: Tony Campolo’s ‘Divine Dissatisfaction’

Posted in: , ,

Editor’s Note: One year ago today, our friend and co-Founder of Red Letter Christians, Tony Campolo, passed away, and today, we honor his life with a few posts, and links to just a few of the many posts he wrote here on this blog over the years. The following post and video were previously published on the RLC Blog on June 12, 2017.


Film director Greg Fromholz has done it again. After first producing short-form, legacy documentaries about Christian luminaries Eugene Peterson and Phyllis Tickle, he recently finished another film featuring Tony Campolo.

For more than five decades, Tony has served in ministry as a pastor, sociologist, professor, and author. As the founder of Red Letter Christians, Tony is keenly passionate about passing on his legacy to a new generation of leaders.

“Tony’s legacy won’t be found in his name,” says Greg, “It will be found in the thousands of people who have taken up his calling and lived out his challenge – to care for the poor and live as Jesus wanted us to live.”

Watch this powerful, short film below. And share it with all those who live with divine dissatisfaction, wanting to build a better world for all of God’s people.
