Why I Don't Recommend The Rise and Fall of Mars Hill

I have been doing a deep-dive review of the Christianity Today podcast series, The Rise and Fall of Mars Hill. While doing my research, one of the questions I have been asking myself is, would I recommend this series to others? I do not recommend it and appeal to others only to recommend it to specific people. Here is my reasoning.

Life Over Coffee exists to provide life-changing resources that equip Christians to help others.

1 – Mark Driscoll is a gross person who is potentially dangerous for people to hear. His messages could trigger a person in an abusive situation or someone who has gone through abuse. He could confuse the Bible novice who does not have the training to discern what Driscoll is saying. Also, listening to him could affirm the cynic who has walked away from God.

2 – If the goal is storytelling, this series will entertain you. C.T. did a great job producing its product. But if Mark Driscoll's poor teaching is the problem, they should put forth better teaching than rehashing what went wrong while interviewing folks who are not beholding to sound teaching.

3 – Speaking specifically to point number two, Christianity Today uses several feminists, unbelievers, woke, and other folks who do not have a sufficiency of Scripture worldview. This podcast is like listening to a left-leaning new program (i.e., CNN) critiquing the alt-right.
