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.

This is the first word that came to my mind, when asked to right a review. I enjoyed this very much. I love hearing ( the real) 🙏❤️

And you still don’t have the education…

You lost me when you conflated people who divorce with pastors abandoning a church. Divorce isn’t what hurts the kids. It’s the acts that led up to the divorce. A huge percentage of the time the one who files is the one who is simply making legal what has already been broken.

You are still young and in need of continuing education. I do not recommend listening to these people who can still cause so much hurt.
