Not a News Cycle
But Rather God Executing His Plan

CURRENT PROGRAM: April 18, 2026

CURRENT PROGRAM: April 18, 2026

GUEST: TRAVIS ALLEN, Pastor, Grace Church (Greeley, CO)

John MacArthur, one of the most influential pastors over the past 50+ years, entered heaven on July 14, 2025 after more than two years of health challenges, including heart, lung, and kidney problems.

John, as he preferred to be called, pastored Grace Community Church in Los Angeles for 56 years, authored over 150 books, was heard around the world on Grace To You, the radio ministry that broadcasts his sermons, and led The Master’s Seminary and University, along with a host of other ministries.

Last week in part 1, Travis Allen of Grace Church in Greeley, CO joined us to discuss why MacArthur became the pastor-teacher he was, one that the theologically conservative side of Evangelicalism always looked to to see where he stood on a given issue.

Travis graduated from The Master’s Seminary, taught at Grace Community Church, was the managing director of Grace To You, and knew MacArthur personally over many years. In fact, Travis is marked by at least two qualities of John MacArthur—a “servant of the Word and the flock”. In other words, both have the highest confidence in Scripture and diligently attend to the believers they shepherd in their churches.

Today in part 2, we’ll discuss what made MacArthur forthright in the pulpit and yet gracious in person and why he was considered the last line of defense for the false teaching and compromising that always plagues the church.

In the final segment, we’ll hear an audio clip of when John MacArthur last appeared on this program and a few of the things for which he will long be remembered.
