Alistair Begg: Honesty, Humor and Hope

The Pastor's Heart with Dominic Steele

We speak to Alistair Begg about pastors, suffering, humility and surviving long term in ministry.

Alistair Begg is in Australia speaking at the Church Missionary Society conference in the Blue Mountains, west of Sydney.

Alistair has served the people of Cleveland Ohio for 42 years at Parkside Church and has a global impact through the influential Truth for Life Ministry.

We go backstage with Alistair to discuss:

• His teaching on 1 Peter, focusing on suffering, perseverance, trials, humility and standing firm in God’s grace.
• Reflections on 40+ years of pastoral ministry and lessons learned along the way.
• Insights into global mission and the long-term commitment of missionaries.
• His upcoming transition after more than four decades of leadership.
• The impact of Australia on his ministry in the US, including his close friendship with former Moore College Principal John Woodhouse.
• Insights into preparing for life after pastoral leadership as he approaches his final months as senior pastor.
