“I am pretty neutral when it comes to Christians criticizing or debunking other Christian platforms. Especially when these Christian platforms have manipulated their authority to hurt and abuse the church. We know it’s not right! However, when the Christian church is being criticized by outsiders (unbelievers) just because they hold to a certain conviction, it’s really throwing everyone who believes in Jesus under the bus. Now, I don’t agree with a lot of things Hillsong stands for! In fact, I’m really opposed to their method in trying to handle this enterprise like a business, or even negotiating it like an empire. It seems while they generate the popularity and fame while enforcing their convictions will definitely not hold to everyone (especially non-Christian’s) parameters. Of course you’re going to get a bad rep for not holding to modernistic cultural values when our values as Christians stands upon the word of God! I could only take one episode. The host was more concerned about progressiveness than idealistically holding to the standards of scripture. I feel the host tries to set this up like the Mars Hill podcasts but fails only because his standards are holding to what culture deems appropriate rather than relying on the truth of God to make his point.”
