The Faults in Our Stars - What can we learn from the downfall of Mark Driscoll and Mars Hill Church?

The “celebrity pastor” phenomenon is rooted in American culture … “Americans have a long tradition of looking to a magnetic person in the pulpit to show them the way forward.”

It strikes me that if Driscoll actually talked about getting “hate mail” from Rick Warren, maybe that was a “tell” that he had some big issues. As a rule, the warnings many (myself included) issue from time to time are not hate mail. They are sincerely held beliefs that there is something a bit wrong with one’s ministry. Assuming that it’s hate mail is a flaw in the person’s theology.

Aspiring to be a stick in the mud.
