A lot of assigning motives without clarity and facts….

“If anyone has attended church before, they will notice that many of the things that the narrator posts in a negative light can be equally seen in a positive light (as they shed light on multiple times throughout the episode) for example: “we covered the ATM’s because we didn’t want it to be money centered” and then her interpretation is that is because they wanted money to be more of a subtle demand.
You can’t assume people’s motives and she has to admit several times that there are a lot of well-intentioned and good people there. To me, this just wreaks of someone being hurt because the church disagreed with her lifestyle so she turned everything she once liked about the church into a negative. Yes, if Hillsong had been up front about their adherence to certain biblical views, this might have been avoided for this host. At least she would have known what she was choosing to be a part of instead of hoping her lifestyle was accepted since it wasn’t openly addressed.
The church worship has to be 20 minutes. You can view that as honoring someone’s time (as she once did) or as this is just a production (as she now does). Both have equal validity. So I guess my question is- how does this podcast help anybody heal who has been hurt by the real hurt Hillsong has caused?
It doesn’t. It just breeds negativity, assumes the worst about everyone involved, and magnifies someone’s feelings over what could be truth, though we will never know that since this isn’t real reporting, it’s someone’s personal story. I mostly just found it to be a waste of time.”

It is predominantly made up of people talking about how individuals at Hillsong hurt their feelings or they didn’t feel valued enough. Very little was objective or...”Read full review »

“This podcast is not really about Hillsong and their scandals and more about this persons journey and the pain they experienced being gay at a church. A lot of lacking of understanding of the actual Bible and focused more on the want of what they ideally wanted to happen.”

“I’ve heard about this podcast because it was being advertised on stuff you should know. It peaked my interest because I have heard of Hillsong church in pop-culture in the news. The problem that I have with this podcast is that it doesn’t contain any actual content. It sounds like it was made by...”Read full review »
