Daniel Whyte III, President of Gospel Light Society International, says 3 more things regarding the Alistair Begg tragedy: (1.) It is Whyte’s opinion that Alistair Begg is not concerned about the thousands of dollars he is losing for this wicked foolishness and betrayal of God, Jesus Christ, and the Word of God because it is Whyte’s opinion Begg has been paid handsomely with Judas’ 30 pieces of silver. In fact, Begg could be a hired gun for the Bishop of Canterbury and the Pope and the sodomy/homosexual-leaning Anglican Church and Catholic Church. (2.) Knowing how pastors love to bounce things off of fellow pastors, Whyte believes many pastors knew Alistair Begg was leaning that way. (3.) If you rebuked Andy Stanley publicly and straightforwardly, you must rebuke your boy, Alistair Begg, publicly and straightforwardly. Pastors, you cannot be a respecter of persons and hypocrites. Whyte says he has enjoyed Alistair Begg’s preaching for many years and loved him as a brother, but Begg is not only wrong, he is dangerous.
“Given that there is no such thing as a marriage of two men or a marriage of two women- so take that away- then what is this occasion that the grandmother is being asked to go to? It is just a celebration of perversion, and it’s just a celebration of two people promising each other that they will never repent of the sin that will send them to hell.” Dan Phillips
Days after being dropped by American Family Radio and agreeing with John MacArthur to bow out of the Shepherds conference, another prominent Christian ministry quietly parted ways with pastor Alistair Begg following his trash advice to a grandmother to attend an LGBTQ wedding.
RefNet (Reformation Network) is the 24-hour Christian internet radio outreach of Ligonier Ministries, playing content that is “committed to the historic Christian faith and edifying for the whole family.”
The few broadcast partners it has have been thoroughly vetted and “echo the great historical truths that have been well-framed by the creedal consensus coming out of the Reformation.” These include John MacArthur, Harry Reeder, Martyn Lloyd Jones, Ligon Duncan, Steve Lawson, Charles Spurgeon’s messages, and up until this last week, Alistair Begg’s Truth for Life.
Truth for Life was one of the longest-running programs, going back at least a decade. However, it has been quietly pulled from the lineup, with no announcement about its culling being made. The two images below are just weeks apart.
Given that Begg’s show plays on 1800 radio stations and he has recently doubled down on his defense of attending a LGBTQ wedding with emotional argumentation, insults, deflection and Joel-Osteen-level exegesis of the text, they likely won’t be the last.

Alistair Begg Dropped From Shepherds Conference + “An Unnecessary Distraction”
Alistair Begg will no longer be speaking at the upcoming 2024 Shepherds Conference, according to a spokesperson for Grace To You to RNS, following the fallout and controversy of his recent remarks advising a grandmother to attend an LGBTQ wedding and then a much-panned follow-up message justifying his reasons.
“After Begg’s comments became public, he and MacArthur talked and decided the controversy would be “an unnecessary distraction,” according to a spokesman for Grace to You, one of the conference sponsors.
“Pastor MacArthur’s counsel on that issue would be completely different from the counsel Alistair Begg said he gave an inquiring grandmother,” said Phil Johnson, executive director of Grace to You told Religion News Service in an email. “So both agreed that it was necessary for Pastor Begg to withdraw.”
Begg has been a frequent speaker at Grace Community Church events, including speaking at the Shepherds Conference in 2015 and 2023, and a regular guest lecturer for the Doctor of Ministry program at The Master’s Seminary.
This is a developing story.
