Simply put, Ask Pastor John is a daily podcast of John Piper answering tough theological and pastoral questions in about 10 minutes. However, a more in-depth look will reveal the treasure chest of knowledge that Piper has given us by answering over 1,000 questions with a pastor’s heart and strong biblical answers.

For those who don’t know, John Piper is the founder of desiringGod.org, chancellor of Bethlehem College & Seminary, and previously a pastor at Bethlehem Baptist Church in Minneapolis where he served for 33 years. He has written over 50 books including Desiring God, Don’t Waste Your Life, and many more.

The desiringGod team offers the APJ podcast in a number of formats including all your favorite podcast platforms, both iPhone and Android apps, and on their website with full transcripts. Each has benefits over the others: the podcast is easy to access through a platform you already use, the app includes a search function to find the answers you are looking for, and the online version gives you the option to read the answers instead of listening. Either way, Ask Pastor John is a resource you should take advantage of. And if you don’t find the answer you are looking for, you can email your own questions to AskPastorJohn@desiringGod.org.
