Pastor Alistair Begg's Radio Program Removed Over LGBTQ Wedding Attendance Advice

Despite backlash, Begg stands by his advice, emphasizing the importance of maintaining familial relationships and discussing LGBTQ matters based on Biblical principles.

  • Pastor Alistair Begg's radio program 'Truth for Life' was removed from the Christian radio network, American Family Radio, following his advice to a grandmother to attend her grandchild's LGBTQ wedding.
  • Begg defended his advice, stating that his primary concern was to maintain the grandmother's relationship with her grandchild and that his advice would not necessarily be the same in a different context.
  • The American Family Association, which runs American Family Radio, stated that they believe attending a ceremony that celebrates any union outside of the biblical model of marriage is an act of unfaithfulness to God.
  • Begg, in his sermon, stated that Christians should neither revile nor affirm people who identify as LGBTQ, but rather discuss the matter based on Biblical principles.
  • Despite the backlash, Begg stood by his advice and said he was 'not ready to repent over this.'
