More than two years since producer Mike Cosper began recording interviews for the show, The Rise and Fall of Mars Hill returns with its most poignant episode yet-a road trip to Seattle to stand in the spaces where Mars Hill Church began.
This epilogue of the critically acclaimed podcast sends Cosper and executive producer Erik Petrik on a trip down memory lane, visiting the buildings and church members who formed the vibrant community that would one day fall apart.
From Seattle living rooms crammed with chairs to an empty sanctuary slated for demolition, discover afresh the mystery of God working in broken places. And, as you see how “time humbles and reveals all,” let the story of Mars Hill compel you toward truth not trends, grace not grandeur. Come, meet the people and places that have remained, marked indelibly with love for the gospel and for Seattle. Meet those who never left.
As this series concludes, a special thanks to: Joy Beth Smith, Andrea Palpant Dilley, Morgan Lee, Russell Moore, Ted Olsen, Daniel Silliman, and Kate Shellnutt. Thank you, especially to Tim Dalrymple and Erik Petrik, Kate Siefker, and to Sarah and the Cosper girls. Thank you to the members of Mars Hill Church, especially, Wendy Alsup, Jesse Bryan, Sutton Turner, Tim Smith, Aaron Gray, Jen Smidt, and Ben Vandermeer.

This was an excellent podcast series. I am thankful to Mike and the whole crew for producing it, for all the effort that went into it, and the courage to face the abuse in the church. It is necessary to bring it out into the open, so that the church may be protected against future abuse. It will not be easy, but it needs to be done for the love of Jesus and his church: the bride he is gathering and making holy.

Thank you for exposing abusers and the cult of personality

What an amazing podcast series. Thank you for all who contributed. Prayers to the survivors. I pray that Driscoll will eventually repent.

I just got over being sick and my voice sounded like that. I could feel the pain in your voice and empathize with you! This was such a thought provoking series, i really appreciate it. Bringing in the experts in the bonus episodes was a wise move for you, and brought wisdom to the listeners.

I appreciated hearing all of the videos. I am appalled by Mark Driscoll's language. I've never heard Christian friends talk like he did. He also did many other evil things. It is challenging for me to believe that people could and do listen to and support and follow him. I realize he said good things, but they weren't enough. Scary!

Even though his demanor wasn't gentle and ought to have been, correcting your opponents with gentleness and perhaps they will repent, he was contending for the faith once and for all given to the saints taking every thought captive against the universalist.

What's the name of Mars Hill's first album?

I’ve listened to this entire series. Slick production, very NPR-ish. But the editorial position is like that of 1980s grandma church, congregation aging out, and stuck a stylistic rut. Pearl clutching defenders of the fluff. Mars Hill left us a blue print, their wipeout put flagnotes on the blue print. Preach the gospel In it’s entirety, sincerely, directly, without apology, and confrontationally as our loving father is. Preach to Men! Young Men and build God centered families. Make small groups, service, and repentance a life style (you missed that while clutching pearls). Make culture conform to scripture, not the revers. And the flagnotes …leadership needs to live by the same rules and held to a higher standard. Serve the living water neat. Jesus was a rebellion from the world, following him is giving the principalities of darkness the middle finger. Own it.

Fantastic series thank you. Perhaps one day someone will explore just how narcissistic the Christian religion is. It's all about the self, the personal relationship with a god and the personal salvation. Christianity offers no opportunity to become immersed in the other. The other is always foreign, suspect, non-Christian, lost. The other has nothing to share or teach the Christian until the other too loses their humanity to become a Christian, to be enveloped into the fold of the narcissist faith.

I agree, although I do think that’s especially characteristic of the US version of Christianity. Although I think everything you said applies to all Christianity, it seems to manifest a little differently, maybe slightly less harmfully, in cultures that are less individualistic.

Pretty much

It should be the opposite. It is about Jesus, and serving others.

Loving God above all, and additionally loving your neighbour as you love yourself... Following the example of Jesus, certainly is not about being concerned only for oneself.

the bible teaches us to die to self and serve/love others as ourselves. What you say I believe is common in the church but it is not biblical and not christian. the mistakes of people in a religion don't change the truth of the religion. god bless
