Resources by Topic: About Randy

God's Word is the source of correction, training, eternal perspective, and joyful rest from weariness and sorrow. Here are ten verses that have especially shaped my life and ministry.

Tomorrow, May 31, is Nanci’s and my 50th wedding anniversary. I thank God for His faithfulness and the time we had together.  I will not regret the years we might have had but be profoundly grateful for the years we did have—and not just the quantity, but the quality. 

In this clip from his interview on the Love the Bible podcast, host Kristin Nave talks about how she was personally impacted by Nanci’s perspective towards her cancer and God’s plans to use it in her life. Randy shares how he has seen Romans 8:28 at work in Nanci’s life and legacy, and how different that is than the health and wealth gospel. 

I wasn’t raised in a Christian home. No one in our family attended church or understood the meaning of the Son of God’s incarnation and redemption. Yet, somehow, my mom embodied Christmas.

When I came to Christ as a high schooler in 1969, I read Foxe's Book of Martyrs, Richard Wurmbrand's Tortured for Christ, and Brother Andrew's God's Smuggler.

Randy was interviewed by Mike Linch on his podcast Linch with a Leader. They discuss Randy’s background and journey to faith. They then dive into the question everyone has, “What will Heaven really be like?”  Randy answers some of the deepest questions on what is waiting for believers in eternity.

In this clip from his interview with Mike Linch, Randy shares how the experience of watching his father come to Christ impressed upon him that conversion is always a miracle of grace. 

On June 23, Randy is turning 70. In light of this significant birthday, some of the Eternal Perspective Ministries staff and board wanted to honor him by sharing how he’s pointed us to Jesus. We hope that by sharing how his life has helped us grow in our walk with God, it will be clear that the Lord has used Randy as a conduit of His grace.

Randy Alcorn talked with some staff at Desiring God about writing and editing. He shared from Isaiah 55:8-11, and explained the importance of being so saturated in God’s Word that your writing (and speaking) reflects God’s truth. Randy also answered some questions and shared insights from his own experience as a writer.

In this audio clip, Randy Alcorn shares about the history of his relationship with Nanci, her cancer journey. and how watching her draw close to Jesus impacted him. 

In this audio clip, Randy Alcorn talks about how his church community has been a major part of the healing process since his wife Nanci died.  

In a Q&A about giving and The Treasure Principleat The People’s Church in Cincinnati, Randy answers the questions: How did God direct you to write about money and giving? Why is this subject so important?

Some of those who follow our ministry aren’t aware of the history of how Eternal Perspective Ministries started. As you watch this video of our story, I hope it makes you think about God’s sovereignty and leading in your own life.

What if I had not met Nanci (all the odds were against it) and come to Jesus a year later? Since my name was written in the Lamb’s Book of Life, I won’t ask the question of whether I would’ve come to Jesus without meeting Nanci, but I certainly believe she was central to His plan in drawing me to Christ.
