Sermon Plagiarism, Mars Hill, And True Repentance
In this back porch pod, we discuss some Christian cultural events currently making big news waves (even outside of the church). The controversy surrounding Ed Litton, plagiarism of sermons, and the SBC parallels the currently re-hashing controversy of Mars Hill and Mark Driscoll (now popularized in a podcast).
What do we think about these two situations, and what should we learn from both of these situations? Plus, Jeremy gives his advice to Bears coach Matt Nagy, which will certainly go unheeded. And, how are you supposed to pronounce, “Mobile, Alabama?”
