The way things are run within Mars Hill by Mark Driscoll are eerily similar to what I've experienced in the past by someone who was mentored by Driscoll. People are afraid to voice their concerns, and all the "family" that disappear are never to be spoken of again.
*** "they would be accused of not being ‘on mission’ or not being ‘all in’, and when that happens…it means you are done"
*** "Twice during this same meeting, the elder leading this meeting labeled everyone who is speaking out against Mark Driscoll and Mars Hill as people who ‘only want to hurt the gospel, the church, and Mark Driscoll’. I called him out on that in front of everyone saying that was a misrepresentation of godly people with valid concerns, but at the end of the meeting he made the characterization again. I’ve heard now from two different people that elders and leaders are visiting Community Groups personally and labeling anyone who speaks out on these concerns as ‘divisive’ and ‘only wanting to tear down the church’. In other words, wolves."
*** "More than 24 elders have left or been fired from Mars Hill last year. (2013-2014)"
If you are part of a church like this, trust your conscience and speak up. Or leave. You are not alone. Your genuine friends will remain your genuine friends. You will discover community, and it will be freedom and restoration.

An intersection of fresh and salty thinking, and a place where I try to clean the mud off my shoes.
