Was Mark Driscoll's testimony manufactured? Christianity Today thinks and lays out the case in Questioning the Origin Myth  from The Rise and Fall of Mars Hill. Just because we are celebrating 100k doesn't mean we won't keep these reviews going.

Episode Thesis:

Marks Driscoll’s calling to ministry was crafted to fit the mission of the church  and was an important way Driscoll gathered loyalty to himself.

We run through a tweet thread by Pastor Thabiti Anyabwile, suggested by a listener. He has been taking criticism for comments from a conference regarding using a female for pastors. Well He did not appreciate it.

Landon Jones, a particular baptist and listener, joins us to tell us 5 things about reformed baptist polity. We really are great at this show but probably are not the best people to tell you what you need to know about this topic. 

Given CT described Mars Hill as having the popular governance of reformed baptistic churches. We thought it would be good to investigate this claim.

In this episode, Restless reacts to an old clip of a JD Greer sermon curated by the woke preacher clips guy. It has been waiting in a 'to do' folder for some reason. The 12 days of Restless will finish this week with our normal episode coming this Wednesday.

Here is the Description:

What is the role of the civil government according to Scripture? How should Christians think about the civil government? To what extent should they take part in it? These and many other questions have caused significant debate in the recent years and this seems to be one of the primary areas of divide within Reformed Evangelicalism. It is for that reason that this book was created.

The 12 days of Restless takes break from the modern debate on twitter to take look a inter-presbyterian debate from the 1860s. 

If you like this you should buy this ebook. If you listened to the end of this episode you should let us know. Just wondering...
