I wish this channel had a podcast form as I work a job (lawn care) with plenty of time for podcast consumption.

Heavenly Father, help me focus on You and not on the chaos around. Keep Pastor Begg in the palm of your hand

[@mannsdan]

I admire Pastor Begg's honesty-- GOD HELP , GOD BLESS , we all cry out more than often but few will acknowledge that- this makes pastor BEGG SUCH A TRUE AND TRUSTWORTHY MESSENGER AND PREACHER OF THE WORD OF GOD.God bless pastor BEGG AND THE WORD HE SPREADS.

I am the pastor of a small church. We are on Facebook because Covid lead us there and we have stuck with it. But I can't imagine having to speak in front of thousands in person and then having my sermons put on the radio and other venues. That is pressure. I've always loved Pastor Begg ever since I heard him in the 90's.

[@PastorDavidBess]

Thank you for providing these nuggets of wisdom and experience from Alistair Begg. They're extremely helpful and encouraging.

[@nobleparkbaptistchurch4901]

I love Alister’s humble self-effacing manner. Bless this Mess! A great Begg-ism. I keep zooming in to see and try and read the titles on His bookshelf. Would someone close to him do a Library tour with Him??

[@brysonbaylor]

I appreciate his transparency on asking God “to bless his mess!”

[@DominicSaxton]

hey

[@mchaywood83]

No way Alistair is in his 70s 😮

[@Highproclass]

I was a full time lay pastor, homeschool dad of five, married of course, full time active duty Solider and a full time grad student and I was fine. I have to guard my heart when I hear of pastors and their Schedule - I had three ministry commitments outside of Sunday. Didn’t ask for pastoral salary. I am not signaling anything - it just reminds of Pastor Derek Thomas when he said “men what in the world are doing with your time? One sermon a week?”

[@Alex_Tan_]

Respect.

[@TheChris403]

Rev Begg: 20 percent pastoring. 40 percent attending trans weddings. 40 percent buying gifts for trans weddings.

[@wfox0621]

Ah yes @TheChris403 is another one that does everything perfectly.
