  • Solid insight, with a dose of humility, humour and humanity.

    I attended Hillsong College in 2005. It’s so nice to hear Pastor Brian again. He was always a huge encouragement and source of inspiration.

    Keep it going!

  • This is NOT a Leadership Podcast

    Admittedly I don’t know what Brian did to lose his church and leadership position. I only heard who did and did not support him during his fall. Then at the end of the first “Humpty” podcast he asked church leaders to ask him to preach and mentioned his new book.

    The only leadership this man has shown was covering up for a pedophile, is that really a leader ? If so you people are sick, and your religion is even sicker
