A Personal Tribute to John MacArthur - H...

JONNY ARDAVANIS
About this episode

"I loved John MacArthur. He was my friend, my mentor, and my pastor. Hard to put into words.

Although there are a number of words that you could employ to describe him, no word encapsulates his life and ministry as - faithful.

Nothing about him was passionless. He was a great man. A hero. And yet, so normal and kind.

Grateful he is in glory. He ran the race and now he joins the crowd of witnesses.

A life well lived." - Jonny Ardavanis
