Alistair Begg (Truth For Life)

Alistair Begg from the Truth For Life radio program spends the hour with us. In delightful fashion, Pastor Begg delves into his recent retirement after 42 years as Senior Pastor at Parkside Church in Cleveland, Ohio, his Philadelphia roots, the 2026 World Cup, Scottish accents, and a key question his bride of nearly 50 years (this Saturday 8/16/25 is their anniversary!) asks when mentoring a woman about the man she is interested in / dating. Truth For Life is WFIL's Ministry of the Month for August, (heard weekdays right after the Tim DeMoss Show at 5pm, at 530am, and several times over the weekend). Listeners are welcome to a free download of the Name Above All Names e-book & study guide by Pastor Begg (co-written with his "big brother" in the faith, Sinclair Ferguson). The free download automatically enters listeners to win Alistair's brand new book, God of the Ordinary: A Study in the Book of Ruth. Pastor Begg shares about both prizes during our conversation as well.
