This episode is beginning of a series where Nate and Daniel are reflecting on the recent popular podcast called "The Rise and Fall of Mars Hill" by Christianity Today. The podcast follows the story of a pastor named Mark Driscoll and is a cautionary tale about church growth and how celebrity effects people in power. In order for this episode to be more meaningful, we recommend first listening to "The Rise and Fall of Mars Hill" episode 1. Nate and Daniel reflect on questions like:

-How does the mission of Mars Hill and several other mega churches match up to the true Gospel? What would Jesus think of that vision?
-What made this vision stick and resonate? What within people drew them to that message?
-The line, "...but, look at the fruit," comes up often in this story to justify the way people were treated, the way the church was run, and what Mark Driscoll was able to say from the stage; Is the fruit they speak of really fruit? What were they winning people to?

...And much, much more.
