Alistair Begg’s Open Evangelism

Alistair Begg recently appeared with the Expositors Collective to, among other things, rehash and recast the controversy that erupted in early 2024 over his recommendation that a Christian grandmother attend her transgender granddaughter’s “wedding” in order not to be seen as judgmental. In the interview, Begg sadly blames “some enterprising

The Side B LARPers of Digital Christendom

In this case, it has reached the
