This is so sad but cathartic to know there are other fallen leaders in the church at large. Thank you for doing a great job of reporting it.
I found this Podcast interesting because Mark Driscoll had a significant influence in me coming to faith in Christ and I cannot deny how God used him to help me understand and love the scriptures and I am sure I am one of many who would profess that. The problem with podcasts like this is how ppl 1. Gossip & 2. How they cause ppl to look at the speck in other ppls eyes & ignore the plank in their own. Reality is that we are sinful & Mark Driscoll is no exception. This podcast CAN be used to grea... more
Having been part of a church and a company that were both deeply, positively impactful and deeply hurtful, I have hesitated listening to this in a raw emotional and spiritual state. But now that I have been able to have healing from and am removed enough from those places, this has not only furthered my healing from those deep wounds but also furthered and helped me reconcile with my own wrestlings and regrets coming out of those experiences. I greatly appreciated the juxtapositions of magnifice... more
I have never listened to a pod cast where tears streamed down my face. My heart is so sad for the people who suffered and were abused by this terrible excuse of a man who twisted Jesus’s ministry for his own gain. I have been questioning my own experiences in the evangelical church very closely related to Mark Driscoll. I see you now, and thank you to Christianity Today for this very important body of work.
Very well done Christianity Today and Mike Cosper.
I followed Mars Hill for a short time from afar, specifically Jeffersonville, IN. I knew deep inside that something was amiss with that Mars Hill. 13 years ago my family and I were members of a large multi site mega church too and we experienced some of what I heard in the story and quit church for a few years. We are in a great church today. No more mega churches. This was done so well,thank you
