The Rise and Fall of Mars Hill
Hosted by Mike Cosper, this podcast takes you inside the story of Mars Hill Church in Seattle – from its founding as part of one of the largest church planting movements in American history to its very public dissolution—and the aftermath that followed. You’ll hear from people who lived this story, experiencing the triumphs and losses of Mars Hill, knowing it as both an amazing, life-transforming work of God and as a dangerous, abusive environment. The issues that plague Mars Hill and its founder, Mark Driscoll — dangers like money, celebrity, youth, scandal, and power—aren’t unique, and only by looking closely at what happened in Seattle will we be able to see ourselves.

Thank you for investing in meaningful investigative journalism. The podcast gave me valuable insight into the consequences of unchecked power within a church. Since I didn’t know exactly how the story was going to end, it played out as a drama that kept my undivided attention. Good job.
Well done

Woah, how narcissism infected my generation
16 авг.
This whole story tells me how my generation was influenced, and influenced how the church and evangelicals, especially now, behave… GenXers were big in the church movement in the 90’s and early 2000’s, but from what we got and were bored of, narcissism gains extremely fertile ground. Our parents parents though they were the best generation and the boomers started to think mega movement bringing up super blah churches. And then, we were sick of the annoying church attitudes, so we pushed back with a vengeance building churches centered around ourselves and not the gospel. That may seem convoluted, but look at the progression. Grandparents being told they were the greatest, beginning of narcissism. Their children working to catch up to their parents and going big with big egos, next phase in narcissistic behaviors. Then my generation having been fed all this narcissistic fuel, and firebrands like Driscoll coming out and creating easily followed, easily manipulated communities with their need for supply that their parents never gave them. We created so much chaos with being fed up with our parents annoying church attitudes.
Disappointed in the entire approach to this series

While I can see where they get their thoughts, the language used (ex. Boomers) and the way CT blogged about Driscoll in such negative light without doing the biblical thing which is approaching privately first, gives me pause to believe the story. It feels slanted and defamatory instead of truthful.
