What happened after Mark Driscoll was kicked off the stage by John Lindell at the 2024 Stronger Men's Conference?
In what seems to have become the weirdest Christian men's conference we've heard of, things just get weirder.
In this video, we'll find out what happened and I'll offer some lessons we can take from this ordeal as we seek to lead faithfully and intentionally in our own contexts.

Where is Driscoll's Jezebel spirit in the Bible? He's not known for using Scripture in the proper context, and being vulgar and rude, therefore, could someone clear this up for me by giving me the chapter and verse that Driscoll used for his Jezebel spirit? I'd appreciate it.

​@@kathyd456Luke 1:17 talks about John the baptist walking in the "spirit of Elijah". There are two people who are called "the son of perdition" - they are Judas Iscariot and who will one day be the Antichrist mentioned in Revelation, so it then means that the Antichrist will be possessed by the same spirit as Judas. There is no "spirit of Jezebel" mentioned in the bible per se but one of the letters to the churches calls out the acceptance of that Jezebel in the church who has led them into sexual sin. So it is possible and was already happening back then that someone could walk in the spirit of Jezebel and lead people down the same path of deception.

I wonder if the disagreement came from a difference in understanding about what that man’s performance was. Yes, he was holding onto a pole. But I’ve watched videos of people doing feats of strength on pull up bars, doing very similar moves. One of the things that guy did is a crazy feat of strength called a “flag”. Nothing inappropriate or “sensual” or “sexual” about it. But if you start drawing parallels to strippers, it takes a totally different meaning. And perhaps Lindell told Driscoll he was out of line because Mark was interpreting it in a way that was inaccurate and unintended. Granted, the guy ripping his shirt off was odd. My charitable interpretation of that would simply be to say it was aligned with a feat of strength (not meant to be sensual). Do you think the performer honestly thought he was “ascending a pole” in conflict to God who has descended / come down to us? Do you think he believed his role was to be performing a sensual performance to a group of Christian men at a conference? Probably not. Still an odd choice though - I wonder what their intention of having that performer was. But I’m not ready to jump on the ”Mark should never apologize” bandwagon. After all. There are misunderstandings in this world!

I agree. I'm also praying that God confronts Lindoll for his choice of ungodly entertainment at the Church. Can u imagine Jesus swinging around ona pole and swallowing a sword to help save souls? Yep, a pole and a sword, that's just perfect for edifying the church and pleasing God. Forget the countless men living here in the USA that have suffered at the hands of communists for the name of Jesus. Forget all the men from the middle east that live here after their persecution for the name of Jesus. They are clearly horrible choices to edify and build men into warriors for the Lord. *Bring out the pole and let's have some entertainment!!!" (Insert Satan and his demons laughing in the background). If you can't see the problem with Lindell, then you are incapable of spiritual discernment. Pick up the Bible and start with Proverbs and learn about the ways and the heart of God

The people of that church that didn't get up and leave after what Pastor Mark Driscoll rebuked in love need prayer. If Mark did not publicly rebuke darkness as Jesus/Yeshua did, it would only cost more souls that would never find the Truth and if Mark had told Pastor John Lindell what God/Yahweh put on his heart to share, he would have not permitted it to be said. The people are so blind to the Truth. They don't even realise what Truth is in the scriptures; the definition of Truth, according to the Bible, that is... If you have read this far, let me lift the veil from your eyes, to show you the Truth. You'll be surprised to find out what the Church has been missing for sooo many years. Yeshua said, to him, “I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father except through Me." John 14:6 Here, Yeshua is declaring that He is the Way, the Truth, and the Life... Now, if you have done your Bible research, you will have found out that in these words that Yeshua said that He is, are based on words and scriptures from the Law/Torah. Basically, you can take these words, (Way, Truth, Life, Light, the Word), and summarize them all to one word: Torah. Yeshua is saying that He is the Word/Torah. So, all these words describe the goodness of Him, the Word. The Truth! :) The Torah/Word is Light, as found in this popular scripture we've all read: "Your word is a lamp to my feet And a light to my path." Psalm 119:105 The writer of this scripture verse isn't referring to any old word man has uttered or written, but the Word. Remember that. ;) Here in the Book of John, John is revealing to us who the Christ/Messiah is: "In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. He was in the beginning with God. All things were made through Him, and without Him nothing was made that was made. In Him was life, and the life was the light of men. And the light shines in the darkness, and the darkness did not comprehend it." John 1:1-5 The Word/Torah shines in the darkness and the darkness cannot comprehend it! So, knowing this, Yeshua is the Light, shining the Light lifting the veil from your eyes. showing you that the Torah is good; that He is GOOOOD! :D Here's another scripture that goes TOTALLY along with the Jezebel topic: "For the commandment is a lamp, And the law a light; Reproofs of instruction are the way of life, To keep you from the evil woman, From the flattering tongue of a seductress." Proverbs 6:23-24 As you can see, the Church has lied to us all our lives on what the Truth is. The Church needs to wake up and realize that the whole Bible is true and that we need to stop listening to preachers/pastors that have the "Jezebel spirit," that lead the flocks to the slaughter, that continue to preach that it's ok to accept alternative lifestyles (which are an abomination to God, according to His Word/Torah/Yeshua, the Messiah that we are in covenant with), and that we now know that Christmas, Easter, Halloween, etc, are not part of the Bible, but are pagan holidays in honor to Baal and the "sun gods" that pastors with the Jezebel spirit taught our parents, grandparents, and great grandparents and passed them down to us. We must stop and think about who's doctrine is the pure doctrine from heaven, and who's isn't. Yeshua/the Word is the true doctrine/manna sent down from heaven. He is a jealous husband, if that makes sense, and won't share us with any other god/"mighty one." The Church needs to realize that what was lost for generations is now found. That is, the Holy Days/Feasts of the Lord our God, (notice that they are called Feasts of the Lord, and not of a people of a particular nationality, if you can guess which one). ;) Let me introduce you to... The Holy Day's of our Creator!!! :D Passover Feast of Unleavened Bread First Fruits Feast of Weeks/Pentacost Feast of Trumpets Day of Atonement Feast of Tabernacles or Booths And of course, the 7th day creation sabbath, which the Lord hallowed and blessed, and said that it is a perpetual "sign" or "mark" on His people when they keep it, which occurs on 7th day of the week on Saturday, (the seventh day of the week, not Sunday, the 1st day of the week)! :D If you have read this far, I'm thrilled that you are interested in knowing what God wants the Church to be doing in these last days!!! But you may have some doubts about if this were true, that we should be keeping the Feasts/Holy Days of the Lord and the 7th day sabbath and drop the teachings and "feasts"/holidays (Christmas, Easter, etc), of the Jezebel Spirit that goes contrary to the Truth/Word/Torah/Yeshua. If we know the Truth, we are in good hands in knowing which doctrines are of God and which are of the deceiver/evil one. Truly, this is the Truth. :) Here is further proof that the Law/Torah/Commandments are not done away with in the end days: "And the dragon was enraged with the woman, and he went to make war with the rest of her offspring, who keep the commandments of God and have the testimony of Jesus Christ." Revelation 12:17 If the Law/Torah/Yeshua was "nailed to the cross" and we use that statement to say that people who accept Christ as Lord and Savior no longer should consider keeping the holy Law, then why does the end pages of the Bible say the contrary; that the dragon in Revelation will go after the last days "remnant" that are keeping the righteous Law/Commandments? Hmm... "Enter by the narrow gate. For the gate is wide and the way is easy that leads to destruction, and those who enter by it are many." (Matt. 7:13) Something's not right Church! We need to have "ears to hear" as our Messiah Yeshua, the Word/Law/Torah said. The word "hear" in Hebrew is "shema" and describes hearing and also its effects - taking heed, being obedient, and doing what is asked. So, Yeshua was asking us to listen to what He had to say, to be obedient to Him. There is full joy in what He has called us to do. :) "For this is the love of God, that we keep His commandments. And His commandments are not burdensome." 1 John 5:3 Tip on identifying the Jezebel spirit in preachers/pastors sermons/teachings: If they say that the Word/Torah is done away with and that you should not keep the Feasts/Holy Days of the Lord, you know that doctrine is not the True manna/doctrine from above. Shalom! :)

I believe Mark was right in exposing the deception. John never truly humbled himself initially and in the end. He seemed to have succeeded in not humbling but humiliating Mark. That is what Jezebel did to Elijah after exposing the Priest's of ba'al. It is time for the church to rise up and push Jezebel out the window and let the dogs clean up the mess.

In my humble opinion, we need to extend grace to Mark for his unnecessary apology. Mark was publicly admonished, and he would have understandably felt flustered afterwards. Wanting to reconcile with John is understandable. Personally, I wish that Mark had stuck to his original convictions, yet we need to extend grace to him.

Once again, I've seen numerous comments where people said a lot of men got up and left FRI NIGHT AND SATURDAY MORNING! I Would venture to say those were probably mostly people from outside the church who came in for the conference from other State's, Churches and countries! You can always adjust camera's to make it look full! I know one man said he came up from Mississippi Saturday morning with his son's and a friend who was an unbeliever but got there a little after conference had started but men were walking out so he asked what was going on and someone from the church told him what had happened! He just happened to be a TAX MAN, and that being the last weekend, he made quite a sacrifice to get here! He then called his wife to discuss what he should do because he was concerned about his friend, but his wife said, "Come on back." Remember one more thing, father's had brought their young son's to this conference from maybe as young as 5 years old and over! Sad for everyone!

@Ayyshaddy I thought after I wrote this that it happened because Father was never there in the first place. I left the charismatic movement long ago after I asked the pastor why he only spoke of the blessings of the OT and not the warnings. I know that sounds strange, but I was a baby Christian at the time. The pastor said that they didn't apply to us because of Christ's sacrifice. We were blessed beyond that. I knew in my heart I was called to a quietness with Father, not yelling and running around the sanctuary like a crazed person. Holiness, for me, is a quiet place of self-discipline and denial, where we lay on our bed at night and examine our hearts. I'm still working on it, on me. My husband and I strongly disagree on the sanctuary and what I consider as reverence to Father. Do people really need the bottle of water or their expensive coffee so much? Can they not deny their flesh for 1 hour to enter into the Holy place of Father? So many are happy with the milk and being fed by someone who never asks more of them. I keep reminding myself that I better focus on me because I will also stand before Father one day, and I have so much that I need to do to prepare myself. May Father's blessings and grace be with you wherever you go.

It amazes me that these men claim to read and study the Bible to the point that they claim the Bible to be their compass but somehow miss the scriptures that describes these types of behaviors to come in the last days that they themselves are doing and practicing. Talk about scales on your eyes. If you are in a church that sings these so called praise and worship songs, have female 'pastors', speak in tongues, claiming miraculous healings as well as raising people from the dead, have 'prophets', support LGBTQ nonsense, and need church to be a show just so you feel good, etc, etc don't walk but run very fast away. These churches are not of God. Quit collecting men and pastors that say what you want to in hopes of soothing your itching ears. Quit buying books upon books, Bible study after Bible study from these counterfeit Christians and just immerse yourself in God's word; the only book you need. You don't need man's understanding of God's perfect word. Instead, read God's word and allow the "helper", (Holy Spirit) speak to you and guide you according to His word and understanding. Remember the path is narrow and FEW will find it.

The people of that church that didn't get up and leave after what Pastor Mark Driscoll rebuked in love need prayer. If Mark did not publicly rebuke darkness as Jesus/Yeshua did, it would only cost more souls that would never find the Truth and if Mark had told Pastor John Lindell what God/Yahweh put on his heart to share, he would have not permitted it to be said. The people are so blind to the Truth. They don't even realise what Truth is in the scriptures; the definition of Truth, according to the Bible, that is... If you have read this far, let me lift the veil from your eyes, to show you the Truth. You'll be surprised to find out what the Church has been missing for sooo many years. Yeshua said, to him, “I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father except through Me." John 14:6 Here, Yeshua is declaring that He is the Way, the Truth, and the Life... Now, if you have done your Bible research, you will have found out that in these words that Yeshua said that He is, are based on words and scriptures from the Law/Torah. Basically, you can take these words, (Way, Truth, Life, Light, the Word), and summarize them all to one word: Torah. Yeshua is saying that He is the Word/Torah. So, all these words describe the goodness of Him, the Word. The Truth! :) The Torah/Word is Light, as found in this popular scripture we've all read: "Your word is a lamp to my feet And a light to my path." Psalm 119:105 The writer of this scripture verse isn't referring to any old word man has uttered or written, but the Word. Remember that. ;) Here in the Book of John, John is revealing to us who the Christ/Messiah is: "In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. He was in the beginning with God. All things were made through Him, and without Him nothing was made that was made. In Him was life, and the life was the light of men. And the light shines in the darkness, and the darkness did not comprehend it." John 1:1-5 The Word/Torah shines in the darkness and the darkness cannot comprehend it! So, knowing this, Yeshua is the Light, shining the Light lifting the veil from your eyes. showing you that the Torah is good; that He is GOOOOD! :D Here's another scripture that goes TOTALLY along with the Jezebel topic: "For the commandment is a lamp, And the law a light; Reproofs of instruction are the way of life, To keep you from the evil woman, From the flattering tongue of a seductress." Proverbs 6:23-24 As you can see, the Church has lied to us all our lives on what the Truth is. The Church needs to wake up and realize that the whole Bible is true and that we need to stop listening to preachers/pastors that have the "Jezebel spirit," that lead the flocks to the slaughter, that continue to preach that it's ok to accept alternative lifestyles (which are an abomination to God, according to His Word/Torah/Yeshua, the Messiah that we are in covenant with), and that we now know that Christmas, Easter, Halloween, etc, are not part of the Bible, but are pagan holidays in honor to Baal and the "sun gods" that pastors with the Jezebel spirit taught our parents, grandparents, and great grandparents and passed them down to us. We must stop and think about who's doctrine is the pure doctrine from heaven, and who's isn't. Yeshua/the Word is the true doctrine/manna sent down from heaven. He is a jealous husband, if that makes sense, and won't share us with any other god/"mighty one." The Church needs to realize that what was lost for generations is now found. That is, the Holy Days/Feasts of the Lord our God, (notice that they are called Feasts of the Lord, and not of a people of a particular nationality, if you can guess which one). ;) Let me introduce you to... The Holy Day's of our Creator!!! :D Passover Feast of Unleavened Bread First Fruits Feast of Weeks/Pentacost Feast of Trumpets Day of Atonement Feast of Tabernacles or Booths And of course, the 7th day creation sabbath, which the Lord hallowed and blessed, and said that it is a perpetual "sign" or "mark" on His people when they keep it, which occurs on 7th day of the week on Saturday, (the seventh day of the week, not Sunday, the 1st day of the week)! :D If you have read this far, I'm thrilled that you are interested in knowing what God wants the Church to be doing in these last days!!! But you may have some doubts about if this were true, that we should be keeping the Feasts/Holy Days of the Lord and the 7th day sabbath and drop the teachings and "feasts"/holidays (Christmas, Easter, etc), of the Jezebel Spirit that goes contrary to the Truth/Word/Torah/Yeshua. If we know the Truth, we are in good hands in knowing which doctrines are of God and which are of the deceiver/evil one. Truly, this is the Truth. :) Here is further proof that the Law/Torah/Commandments are not done away with in the end days: "And the dragon was enraged with the woman, and he went to make war with the rest of her offspring, who keep the commandments of God and have the testimony of Jesus Christ." Revelation 12:17 If the Law/Torah/Yeshua was "nailed to the cross" and we use that statement to say that people who accept Christ as Lord and Savior no longer should consider keeping the holy Law, then why does the end pages of the Bible say the contrary; that the dragon in Revelation will go after the last days "remnant" that are keeping the righteous Law/Commandments? Hmm... "Enter by the narrow gate. For the gate is wide and the way is easy that leads to destruction, and those who enter by it are many." (Matt. 7:13) Something's not right Church! We need to have "ears to hear" as our Messiah Yeshua, the Word/Law/Torah said. The word "hear" in Hebrew is "shema" and describes hearing and also its effects - taking heed, being obedient, and doing what is asked. So, Yeshua was asking us to listen to what He had to say, to be obedient to Him. There is full joy in what He has called us to do. :) "For this is the love of God, that we keep His commandments. And His commandments are not burdensome." 1 John 5:3 Tip on identifying the Jezebel spirit in preachers/pastors sermons/teachings: If they say that the Word/Torah is done away with and that you should not keep the Feasts/Holy Days of the Lord, you know that doctrine is not the True manna/doctrine from above. Shalom! :)

Amen!! I was 100% with Driscoll calling this out. However, a back peddling apology was disheartening. I believe you’re correct, regarding what Jesus would have done. It’s as if they expected an apology from God himself. I’m NOT saying Driscoll is God. I just believe he spoke directly from the heart of God then the prideful pastor wanted an apology for being called out.

Sadly, when they came back on stage, they did not even address the real issue. They just focused on declaring their love/appreciation for each other and mending the relationship - which is great - but not at the expense of brushing aside the matter that set this whole thing off. I am somewhat baffled by Mark's positioning and wish he had held firmer in asking that John address the opening act. I don't know anything else about John Lindell, but this incident certainly does not give me a good impression!

You are not wrong. I attended that church for 3 years and it is plagued with scandals and there is never any repentance. When the toes were questioned John told the church not to challenge Gods anointed one and if they do they risk God sending the she bears to devour them. After this situation he gave a sermon to the church about how spiritually immature they are and then showed a baby bottle and said here you go. This is all you get

As soon as i heard Mark say "You are the father of this house" and "I'll do whatever you want".... I recoiled with disgust but not surprise.... The wheat and the tarres will be separated. ‭1 Corinthians 10:31 Whether, then, you eat or drink or whatever you do, do all to the glory of God. ‭Matthew 13:28, 28-30 And he said to them, ‘An enemy has done this!’ The slaves said to him, ‘Do you want us, then, to go and gather them up?’ “ ‘An enemy did this,’ he replied. “The servants asked him, ‘Do you want us to go and pull them up?’ “ ‘No,’ he answered, ‘because while you are pulling the weeds, you may uproot the wheat with them. Let both grow together until the harvest. At that time I will tell the harvesters: First collect the weeds and tie them in bundles to be burned; then gather the wheat and bring it into my barn.’ ”

I agree with you totally! When I heard him say those words you quoted...my heart was grieved. It was like a little boy who was passively cowering to a dad's abuse and dysfunction just because of his role and position of authority. Mark should of stood his ground. He should of at least maybe said...I still believe what I said, but could of come to you privately first. Either way, Mark was correct for calling it out!

I think the billions spent on conferences like this while people go hungry is worse than a clown show.

The weirdest part is everybody acting like "entertainment" is the problem -- then going back to their church on Sunday for a latte and laser show.

I think that John may have sensed that there was a very REAL possibility that he could experience a church split, (much less a conference split) over his horrible choice to know about, approve and then ignore a horrible 800 lb. gorilla in the room with the MALE STRIPPER. There was also a kind of "passive aggressive" aspect to this "makeup" talk that reminded me of how men will slap their wives around, and THEN, instead of simply OWNING it, deeply repenting for it and committing to STOP that abuse/offense, he will reiterate his "love" for his wife in front of the kids, etc. But the stripper wasn't even refenced in all this sugar talk. The fact of the matter, is that it would've been super effective and beneficial for John to be a man of humbleness, OWN UP to the episode, state that he has learned from it and won't make that mistake going forward, and THEN apologize to Driscoll for placing him in a position where he was left to state the obvious to a huge audience. If he would've done that, it would've been a victorious witness for the Lord and His Kingdom. But...as it was....😔
