Welcome to The Perspectivalist
Today, I’m honored to host Reverend Grant Castleberry—Marine officer turned pastor, currently finishing his dissertation on Martin Lloyd-Jones. We gather to reflect on John MacArthur, a towering figure in pastoral longevity and biblical faithfulness.
Grant’s personal encounters with MacArthur go beyond admiration—they shaped his call to ministry and introduced him to Reformed theology. From late-night radio sermons after high school football practices to transformative theological tapes like Chosen for Eternity, MacArthur’s influence was profound and life-altering.
In our conversation, we explore:
How conviction and clarity drove MacArthur’s preaching
The weight of biblical authority and expository rigor
The rare gift of decades-long pastoral ministry
Personal reflections: the kind, humble man behind the pulpit
Join us for a meaningful tribute to a faithful pastor whose legacy continues to influence Christian ministry and leadership.
