Long-Term Faithfulness, Controversies, and the Man on the Middle Cross – Alistair Begg

Alistair Begg - one of the most recognisable voices in expository preaching - sits down with Brian Brodersen for a candid conversation on decades of ministry, recent controversies, and the hope that outshines them all.

With characteristic warmth and clarity, Alistair reflects on God’s faithfulness, the dangers that lead to burnout, and why the free offer of the gospel must always be extended. He responds to the storm surrounding his advice to a grandmother, shares encouragement from gospel renewal in Scotland, and explains why some empty churches should stay that way.

You’ll also hear the story behind the viral “Man on the Middle Cross” clip, insights on the Calvary Chapel movement, and Brian’s reflections on discovering the grace of God afresh. Whether you’re leading a church or seeking to grow in steadfast faith, this conversation will strengthen your resolve to run the race to the end.
