The Beached White Male Podcast with Ken Kemp

S2E98 Two Kens: The Rise and Fall of Mars Hill

Ken Kemp Season 2 Episode 98

Ken Fong (Asian America, the Ken Fong Podcast) and Ken Kemp explore the immensely popular Christianity Today podcast series, The Rise and Fall of Mars Hill. There are 12 episodes and nearly 15 hours of highly produced exploration to unpack. It's the story of the collapse of the megachurch in the Pacific Northwest led by Mark Driscoll. The two Kens discuss how narcissistic leaders and toxic masculinity can lead to big ratings, big voting blocks and full pews, and massive, costly calamity. Eager followers and enablers contribute to the popularity and power of these leaders both in religion and politics. The parallels between the fallen pastor and the disgraced former president are hard to miss.
