Really appreciate the solid Bible teaching. But splitting up the sermons is very weird and hard to sort through. And because the split-up sermons aren’t released with each other (half of the sermon on one day, half on the next), you can’t just put the podcast on and let it play. It’s very frustrating. If you’re trying to listen while driving a car, you either have to listen to disjunct sermons and try to piece it together. Or you have to use your phone while you’re driving (not safe 😕). Seems like this format of releasing sermons is somehow beneficial to those releasing them. But it is not user-friendly for those of us using the podcast. Would much rather have fewer podcasts released every week but have a better, safer UX.
I am so thankful for Alistair’s preaching and teaching! My only complaint is I really wish that the sermons weren’t split into parts. It would be easier listening if they were kept in tact. 🙏🏼🤍
A Biblically based & Christ entered podcast! The teaching is humble & straightforward.
And there are always opportunities to seek more understanding through various resources offered.
I love how he teaches what the scriptures say, and what is going on and then allows the life application truths to rise out of the text. Instead of so many preachers, who do topical sermons, and then try and squeeze the Bible into it. I wish I would’ve started listening to him years ago.
Alister has ministered to me my entire Christian walk thus far, 15 years of pursuing Christ.
Alister has helped form much of my theology and he has always been my go to pastor. He makes me laugh, he will tell you he is flawed and sees teaching the Bible as a privilege and high calling, but that we must open the Word ourselves and test everything he says in light of scripture. I am a proud American with Tejano roots, and the Lord brought a man from Scotland to minister to me for a decade and a half so far. May the Lord continue to bless Alister and the ministry and may His face shine upon Alister.
His sermons on the Lord’s Supper explaining the difference between Catholics and Protestants were the best I have ever heard. He clearly explained so anyone could understand.
I like to listen every day while I’m driving. It keeps me anchored to Christ. I call him my radio pastor. He flows with an easy to listen voice. Plus it’s all biblical. He doesn’t make it the book of Alister , it’s always the word of God!
As one who is on the path to becoming a Pastor this podcast has been really helpful in learning how others preach. In addition, Allistair Begg’s preaching has been very edifying in my walk of faith in Christ.
This is a podcast that will change your life for the better if you will listen with an open mind and willing heart. I have listened to more various podcasts than I can count, and this is by far one of the very best you will ever find!
Alistair is my go-to for encouragement, education and enlightenment. I've watched Parkside morning service every Sunday since the lockdowns and listen to Truth for life for over 10 years. He is simply the best communicator of God's word and I will always be indebted🙏🏼
Truth and the foundational teaching of God’s Word run as the keystone to all of Rev. Begg’s teaching and sermons. I have filled my supplemental time to prayer & the study of The Scripture with Truth For Life resources - this podcast/broadcast being a daily part of that walk. Thank God for blessing this ministry and the seeds that are sown through the words from Rev. Begg - addressing the main things, the plain things and calling God’s people to live lives full of grace, mercy, forgiveness and faithfulness
I absolutely love this podcast!! It’s truly amazing. I enjoy listening while doing house work. And it give me plenty to think about! My aunt used to go to his Church and really enjoyed it! I think there is some sage advice in here!!!! Truly advise listening! You’ll get plenary of good stuff to take away!!!!!
Thank you so much Mr. Begg for doing this!!!! Your absolutely great at it!!!!!!!!!
I first heard Alistair on the radio week nights in 2003 and looked forward to his exposition and followed his broadcast almost daily for years.
I was glad to find him here on this platform!
Every morning at 6am I start my day listening to you and opening my Bible along with my first cup of coffee. I am so very thankful and blessed. Then I “go out”!
Dear Pastor Begg, am a “ little selfish😇 in wanting to keep you here so I can listen to your teaching,Podcast as well as my Sunday Morning Service @ Parkside Church. But like a glass of good wine, one must sip & not guzzle to make it last. Soooooo, as much as I want to keep you here,I must let you go 😭😢to spend time with the family @ your favorite Scottish Beach 🏖 🏄 regenerate, take care of your health & come back to us, for the “story” continues. Merry Christmas to you & yours! Stay HEALTHY & enjoy a well earn rest, I need, WE ALL need the GREATEST teacher & storyteller of the Bible!! God Bless🙏💃🏻 Why must I change my title?? that’s my name 😭😭
Dear Pastor Begg, here I go again being selfish☹️but would you have the time to translate the Bible as you read it?? I’ve gone through the Bible so many times that it has become “ boring ☹️” only with your teaching has it come alive👏💃🏻!! sooooo to have it in “ plain” English would help 🙏👏💐
Would that be 2 much homework & time taken out of your vocation 😌😇😁
Thought provoking messages delivered with the verses needed to study and confirm. Truth for Life and Alistair Begg are a staple to my spiritual growth.
Pastor Begg teaches! he’s a storyteller! He takes you on a walk throughout the Bible that makes you want more, like a child being read a bedtime story, you can’t wait for the next chapter!
Because of his teaching the Bible is made more clear.
God Bless him, may God keep him around for a long time!!! & thanks for my Sunday morning Service @ Parkside Church!!!!
Alistair has no equal in the Christian world today. He is the Pastor of Pastors, master teacher of all teachers and chief expositor of the Bible. He is head and shoulders over all who teach the Bible. His mastery of the Bible along with mastery of history and literature permits him to pull from relevant poem, prose and historical facts throughout human history. Highly recommended.
Alistair has a profound way of speaking to new and old believers. His incredible depth of knowledge, wisdom, humility, insights and wit is such a welcome treasure. Thank you for your faithfulness and service to the Kingdom.
Praise God for anointing and equipping Alistair to courageously preach the whole counsel of God. I’ve been starting my day off listening to this podcast and I am challenged and refreshed each morning. If you want to hear preaching that encompasses what it means to speak the truth in love, look no further than Truth For Life.
Always speaks the Gospel Truth. With much scripture backup, excellent explanation & clarification. Pastor Begg is a wonderful speaker who combines contextual history to clarify his sermon. I so enjoy listening to hi teaching, then add his beautiful Scottish accent,& I can listen & learn often, every day. Thank you for Truth For Life!
I like listening to your messages because they are so grounded in the word. So many preachers today are entertaining but seem a bit shallow, and more for entertainment. I enjoy watching/listening to them occasionally, but always come back to your messages for the truth and you encourage me to live it out in my life. Thank you for your faithfulness🙏
These as I call them - delayed radio broadcasts are a great encouragement for me since I just got an Apple phone in April.
Me and my Girlfriend listen almost daily, as we have done so—great truths have been spoken (literally ) into our lives. As we listened to all 4 episodes of husbands and wives,(recently submitted for all who care to listen), BOTH OF US, care! We have been blessed as we heard the word of God and have been judged by it, and have resolved to obey it. With the help of the Holy Spirit. Both of us are believers and followers of Christ who died in our place! We are embarking together upon marriage in the near future as we need your prayers. THANK YOU FOR DOING ALL IT TAKES TO flood the internet with TRUTH, the truth of Christ Jesus our King! —Tony
I love listening to Alistair Begg in the early morning after my Bible reading time, long drives, or simply when my soul needs so extra spiritual food, so extra reminders to turn to the Lord. I can’t recommend this podcast enough because of it’s faithful and solid preaching and it’s short episodes for busy moms.
Side note: I never get tired of listening to his voice because of his accent, and extra plus to his solid preaching.
He’s one of those preachers who you can hear his love for the church and God’s word though this preaching.
Alistair is my favorite preacher-his love for the Lord and his Word is so evident in his sermons. His expository teaching is so thorough. I also really enjoy his preaching style-convicting and encouraging.
Alistair Begg’s preaching has been such an encouraging time of true, biblical, unapologetic apologetics that has instructed me from my early childhood. Truth For Life’s commitment to the Word has been a great blessing to my life, providing such firmly grounded truths and preaching of the whole Bible with the focus of Jesus Christ and the Gospel. It has been a convicting journey with Truth For Life and Alistair’s preaching, but a much needed and extremely thankful journey at that. Highly recommend!!
I truly enjoy listening the episodes from truth for life. Thank you pastor Alistair Begg and Truth for Life team.
Your messages and all your team’s work remind me about God’s love and plans throughout week. And understand Bible.
Shamelessly simple and wonderfully complex the message is always pointing to the Hope which does not disappoint and thoroughly equips for every good work. Thanks for your obedience in faith!
My mother introduced me to Pastor Alistair Begg a few years ago. Recently, trying to navigate living in a country filled with intellectual chaos, I began listening to the Truth for Life podcast. Alistair Begg’s teachings have become an anchor for my emotions. Jesus’ teachings never change despite shifting emotions in culture. I value Begg’s reiteration of using the mind along with the heart when studying Jesus’ teaching. In a world where truth has become feeling-based, I am grateful that Begg’s interpretation and teaching of scripture speaks to listeners’ intellects and allows the Holy Spirit to move the listeners’ hearts.
I am not a student of pulpit banging, soul scaring methods many leaders of Christ’s congregation employ. This is a safe place to hear actual biblical teaching, guiding Christians into a deeper walk with our savior, Jesus. Love this Shepard.
