Author Jerry Bridges recently joined us in the studio to record a series of brief interviews about his life, the pursuit of holiness, and the ongoing importance of the gospel in the Christian life. He was in town teaching a course in our Pastors College.

Bridges is now 82 years old. He became a believer in 1948, 63 years ago. And for nearly 50 of those years he has been regularly "preaching the gospel to himself." He has written that in the pursuit of holiness, nothing is more important than learning to preach the gospel to yourself every day.

So what exactly does that mean, I asked him. And why, after 50 years, must he continue?
