Beware! 2 Star For Production but Decieving

“There are stories of hurt in every church. There is ego often overcomes the big picture. I have listened to every episode twice. What I found is a lack of returning to the Bible rebuking Mark Driscoll. Therefore I chose to take the next step to dig into Marks Driscoll myself. What I found after many hours is Mark calls out the collapsing culture and falling away from the Bible. Which unintentionally calls out this very podcast.
Mark is quoted saying “Jesus was killed because of religious men but we are called to relationship with Jesus and we are restored.” Mark is like all of us who fail and who need grace. Although there are traumas in the church, one topic Mike Cosper has not spoke about is the need for forgiveness. For a podcast such as this “Christianity Today” it’s a representation of what the church has become. Simply religion and no love or relationship. Slanderous and casting stones at brothers and sisters in Christ.
The production is absolutely phenomenal, the message is deceiving, lacking love and compassion. Which may be at its essence what Mike is good at as seen on the documentary “The Secrets of Hillsong”. Carl Lenz took the first step of taking responsibility for his actions but Mike’s response is in the spirit of defamation without grace. In this he gets his own recognition because he speaks a negative perspective of the church to secular culture. At that Cosper gets his own ego boosted.
I share this thoughtful post to remind new listeners, this is a very interesting series and deserves a listen. The traumas at church many of us have experienced. Be reminded all men fail and we all deserve to be rebuked but do not miss what this series fails to speak on Grace and Forgiveness. Beware of the slander and lack of focus on Jesus. I encourage all of you to approach this series with a open heart and see both sides. Go read and listen to Mark Driscoll the same amount of time that you listen to Mike Cosper here. Go watch Carl Lentz rebuke his own actions and how he glorifies Jesus in giving him peace and forgiveness after his mistakes. Then watch Mike Cosper and how he speaks about Carl and the church in general.
This does not discount the experiences or traumas people experienced. Our focus needs to be on Jesus not men this is the differentiation Mike Cosper fundamentally fails to identify in this series and other interviews.”

“Excellent work journalistically - on par with any deep-dive, heavily-researched, brilliantly-produced series from NPR, NYT, or ProPublica. Love it. The Church needs more of this… and fast.”
