Leaving Hillsong Leaving/Reading Hillsong

Laura contacted blogger Donald Elley, an outspoken and extremist commentator on Hillsong and all things righteous and Christian. Laura was seeking resources for a documentary. Donald was seeking so much more, it became, in the words of BCH, unhinged.
Misogyny in evangelicalism and Hillsong type places is over the top and we're calling it out for what it is, starting with an easy example of hypocrite and hyperbole, Donald Elley of Bellingen.

Laura is a Leaving Hillsong pod guest, educator, artist, creator and some time film maker... you've met her before...today we start mammoth task of facing misogyny in the halls of Hillsong and well, right down to the altar call... Laura and Tanya discuss the narcissistic template for pentecostal boys and girls and how maleness is privileged, esteemed and honoured, while femaleness is subservient and ever diminished and minimised.
It happened to Laura.. while researching for her latest project, she quickly became the object of obsession for one of the pentecostal peacocks.. a writer, a decent good Christian man, son of a minister... the kind of human the fundies love to think they are...
until it becomes clear that they are very much nothing like that at all.
It's terrifying and it's time to talk about it. ... so come chat!!

Veteran investigative journalist, and Walkely winner, David Hardaker, talks about his new book, Mine Is the Kingdom, the Rise and Fall of Brian Houston, which has just been released.
The book details Houston's life as well as the inner workings, and tax breaks, of Hillsong.
As an outsider without Pentecostal Traumatic Stress Disorder, David's work is thorough, in depth and with minimal personal bias...although he admits developing an unexpected fondness for an aspect of this research and you will be surprised too!
