The Mark Driscoll Reckoning, Boreing Media Update, and a #1 Fantasy Show | Weds LIVE Ep.56
The Jeremy Boreing ShowShow Notes
Mark Driscoll built one of the most influential — and most infamous — pulpits in American evangelicalism, preaching a version of Christian masculinity that filled Mars Hill Church before it became a cautionary tale that's still shaping how the church talks about strength, leadership, and accountability today.
The Jeremy Boreing Show interviewed Mark this week, causing considerable controversy online.
On this episode of Wednesday Live, Jeremy Boreing sits down with former Babylon Bee Managing Editor Joel Berry, pastor, cultural commentator, and Boreing Media President Jon Lewis, and Executive Producer Alyssa Cordova to ask the harder question behind the Driscoll story: What does Christian leadership really look like, and can the church even recognize it anymore?
The conversation ends with Jeremy's new Prime Video series The Pendragon Cycle: Rise of the Merlin (the #1 fantasy series in the US and the UK) and the argument that conservatives are good at complaining and bad at building. From there, the vandalism of the West's founding myths, and whether modern Evangelicalism has what it takes to lead.
