“Christians need to face the truth of who we are.” That’s what Professor Iwan Russell-Jones told us, and it’s why we took a hard look at Hillsong through the FX/Hulu docuseries “The Secrets of Hillsong.” In this episode we talk about church as the show and what it is costing us. We also talk about:
- the docuseries as Carl Lentz’s redemption vehicle
- the cost of spiritual abuse
- should church be charging money for attendance and paying volunteers?
