Church Disrupted

056: When Churches Act Like MOBSTERS To SILENCE Their Critics!!!


Listen Later

Arresting Dissenters, removing critics, threatening whistleblowers, and trying to silence critics and destroy their reputations. This sounds like mob-type behavior... but what if we told you this all describes large and well-known CHURCHES?!?

That's right, in unsafe and unhealthy churches, questions, criticism, and any allegations of sin and immoral behavior are met with bully tactics like these. While this is not the case at all churches, it should NOT be the case in ANY CHURCH.
In this episode of the Church Disrupted Podcast, Jeff Cochran takes a look at concerning mob style behavior by four large church bodies in recent months. As well as how to recognize the red flags that lead up to this type of behavior.
