In the wake of John MacArthur's death, how do we avoid falling into the trap of hero worship or idolatry? How can we examine his life so we keep the good things he taught and avoid carrying forward his mistakes? Few American pastors have had a longer or more impactful ministry than John MacArthur. From his focus on sequential expository preaching to his emphasis of Lordship salvation, to his late-in-life transition from Arminian to Reformed soteriology, John MacArthur helped reform the American church in significant ways. But like any man, Pastor MacArthur was not perfect and made decisions and had practices that we should not emulate. In this episode, we discuss John MacArthur's life and attempt to unpack the aspects that should be emulated and those that should be discarded. We believe that this is a God-honoring practice that helps keep us from idolatry and worship of man.

Send us a textGUEST: 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.--------------------------Last Interview on TCW with John MacArthur - “You Foolish [Evangelical Church], Who Has Bewitched You?” – Nov 2018Additional Links: John's Personal Testimony click on “Listen to John's Personal Testimony”Reflecting on Pastor John Phil Johnson and Mike Riccardi, July 20, 202550 Years at GracePastor John Describes Heaven
