The Rise After the Fall

Shawn & Sonny Hennessy

Off the heels of "The Rise and Fall of Mars Hill" from Christianity Today, Pastors Shawn & Sonny Hennessy cut through the pleasantries and bring an honest look at church culture. In transparency, they share their own story of fast success which lead to a fall. And after the fall, a process of healing and restoration before returning to ministry again. As a leader in the church - you don’t need to hide behind guilt, shame and run away only to fall into the same patterns. There is a rise after the fall. read less
