Be careful with CT
This podcast was good and I really enjoyed the story as well as the deep insight and research. However you have to listen to this podcast with a grain of salt. CT has become so progressive and liberal in the last 10 years that I don’t trust everything they’re saying. I have to always reframe what’s being said in light of it being said by liberal Christians. I’m not at all a supporter of Mars Hill. I honestly had never heard of them except in passing. After hearing this podcast I am just brokenhearted for the people of that area who trusted and then were hurt. It’s so sad to see Christians who can’t just speak the truth of the gospel instead of making everything about power and control. It’s so true that power corrupts. Every. Single. Time. P.S. Do Christians not set themselves apart with their language. I’m astounded at the casual swearing that many former Mars Hill “pastors” and leaders find so easy to do. Aren’t we supposed to be in the world but not of it?

More reviews of The Rise and Fall of Mars Hill
I’ve always been interested in this story. I’m from Phoenix and was impacted by Mark’s preaching, but I’ve always felt there’s more to the story then what outsiders like mr know. The story is told well. However, I think it could do without the background music. It sounds too creepy.

I lived through this era as a pastor and this podcast is one of the best things, even just 2 episodes in, that I’ve heard on it. Voices of the emerging church (like Pagitt) are a great addition. I was once a big fan of Driscoll and once even spent an evening at his house during the original Reform

I’m loving this deep dive into a very interesting story. Very well produced (like all of Cosper’s work) and I don’t feel like the goal is to drag anyone through the mud. The point is, “How could this happen and what can we do in the church to keep it from happening again?”
