A Spiritual Check-up

ALLIANCE OF CONFESSING EVANGELICALS
About this episode

Carl and Todd welcome Reverend David McKay to discuss his new book, A Spiritual Checkup for a Healthy Life with Christ. With over four decades of pastoral experience, David shares insights on spiritual health, the importance of living out our faith, and the role of the church in our spiritual journeys. But why does David advocate a spiritual checkup for believers?

Because Christ has done everything for us, he is the foundation of our new life, we have been given a new life that now must be lived out; sometimes said, we are to become what we are. We are righteous in Christ…that needs to be worked out in daily, godly living and there’s always progress to be made in our likeness to Christ. – David McKay

Tune in for a thoughtful conversation that emphasizes the balance between grace and the call to live a godly life.

This book is a really excellent tool for assessing the condition of your heart. – Carl Trueman

We are pleased to offer three copies of David McKay’s book, A Spiritual Checkup for a Healthy Life with Christ, to our listeners, thanks to the generosity of Crown & Covenant. Enter here for the opportunity to win.
