Somewhat helpful but not entirely credible

“Originally I thought it was helpful as I had made my departure from an A29 church and less but similar issues.
1. There are some valid points and I did appreciate it as a whole.
2. The “Things we do to Women” episode may be partially true but is filled with problems. First, the women interviewed are all far left leaning and even non-Christians with a clear motive. Second, as a person that did follow Driscoll for some time, even if there were experiences that were contrary, his repeated teaching was fundamentally contrary to what is presented. It is possible that he was a total hypocrite, but my experience was he was very hard on men in sermons but quite soft on women.
3. I always felt uneasy about how things ended with Mars Hill. There is some possibility in my mind with “a trap laid”. Leading up to his end, Driscoll was making moves of being less tribal and seemed to have a more tempered view. I’m sure the ultra-Calvinists in A29 didn’t appreciate this. Everyone knew for years how brutal Mark was. I can assure you as someone in A29 that was never a bug, but from this point all those people changed their tune. I know people who used to worship Driscoll and parrot him but now act like they never knew any of this stuff. In my opinion Chandler kicked Mars Hill out for self-protection. None of the scandal info was news to A29, for all of us around it was common knowledge he was abusive to men.
4. Is also ironic the hypocrisy. By the end CT admits their own issues in their organization. But for me it’s not just that but the credibility of the organization. CT is a far left woke feminist organization and them going on a demon hunt after a differing group means there is zero possibility of objectivity. And that’s mostly what you get out of this.”

“I have so enjoyed this podcast so far. They speak of tense issues with grace and nuance, and bring to light issues plaguing the church. In order to create changes, we need to know our history, and this podcast does that in a great way.”

“If you were involved in evangelicalism at any point from 2005-today, Mark Driscoll and Mars Hill shaped what we do. It was disruptive and the platform was so broad, that hundreds of thousands of people were engaged and listening.
And then it blew up. This podcast offers an essential...”Read full review »
