Episode 18: When the Church Makes the Headlines with Jennifer McKinney
Professor of Sociology Jennifer McKinney talks to us about her research into Mars Hill Church and what scandals in the Church might teach us.
She shares what it was like to work on a college campus so close to Mars Hill and the effect the church’s theology had on students, how her research into Mars
Hill’s theology affected her own faith, why we should expect the Church to be imperfect, and the importance of identifying patterns of abuse in order to
create healthier churches (plus, why this might be harder for us protestants).
You can find Dr. McKinney's recent book "Making Christianity Manly Again: Mark Driscoll, Mars Hill Church, and American Evangelicalism" here >>>
