“I’m already extremely cynical about celebrity mega churches (having actually studied and attended them to see what they’re all about) and I am STUNNED by how quickly this episode really just turned into a thinly veiled critique of evangelicalism at large, with almost zero information about the specific churches this episode was supposed to be about. I could write a book on how many of their assumptions they didn’t care enough to back up, but I’ll just say this: no one has EVER been called a “junior pastor”; evangelicals do not call themselves “parishoners”; celebrities are allowed to be Christians even if they’re successful and that does not actually constitute “prosperity gospel.” I guess a lot of this is specifically in response to the guest host who was equally ignorant but WOW y’all could have had me! I love this stuff! There is so much problematic stuff about these mega churches and you guys missed big time.”
