The podcast tells the inside story of one of the country's first internet celebrity pastors:
Mars Hill Church Lead Pastor Mark Driscoll poses outside of his office prior to an evening service at the church's flagship black warehouse in Seattle on Feb. 11, 2007. " podcast tells a dramatic story about a controversial megachurch in Seattle and the charismatic pastor who built it.
“You work one part-time job so you could play more guitar. That's dumb. That's really, really dumb,” Driscoll said. “Some will say, ‘Well it's not a sin.’ Neither is eating your lawnmower. It's just dumb.”Mike Cosper Driscoll’s charisma made him the star of Mars Hill Church. He wasn’t accountable to any denominational hierarchy and could fire people at will.
“Over the years, there were quite a few people who were either directly fired by him for what was often in his mind sort of insubordination,” Cosper says, “What was often in their mind just general confrontation.” Smidt went on to explain that Driscoll turned to her husband and said, “I reserve the right to speak to the heads of households,” Cosper says.
One pivotal moment in the fall of Mars Hill was when Driscoll got a book deal for “Real Marriage: The Truth About Sex, Friendship, and Life Together.” “At some point, I think the church needs to have a reckoning with its relationship to power and weakness.”As the church folded, the people around Driscoll slowly left. And the dissenters became persona non grata when they left, like Jesse Bryan, who ran the media team for Mars Hill.
