John MacArthur stepped into eternity in July of 2025. Few leaders have left a mark on the American church quite like him.

In this episode of The Caffeinated Christian, we take an honest look at his legacy—his decades of faithful teaching, his commitment to Scripture, and the impact of his global ministry.

We also wrestle with the more difficult parts of MacArthur's ministry: allegations of mishandled abuse cases, his often combative tone toward theological disagreement, and how his church navigates its first pastoral transition in 50+ years.

This isn't a hit piece or a tribute—but it's a conversation that holds both truth and grace, honoring the complexity of his legacy.
