The Rise and Fall of Mars Hill

First Look: The Rise and Fall of Mars Hill

The perils of power, conflict, and Christian celebrity.

Founded in 1996, Seattle’s Mars Hill Church was poised to be an influential, undeniable force in evangelicalism—that is until its spiraling collapse in 2014. The church and its charismatic founder, Mark Driscoll, had a promising start. But the perils of power, conflict, and Christian celebrity eroded and eventually shipwrecked both the preacher and his multimillion-dollar platform. A new podcast from Christianity Today tells this story.
