Mark Driscoll

In 2014, after more than a decade of tremendous growth and ministry, Seattle’s Mars Hill Church imploded with the resignation of its lead pastor, Mark Driscoll. The church and its charismatic founder had a promising start, but the perils of power, conflict, and Christian celebrity eroded and eventually shipwrecked both the preacher and his multimillion-dollar platform. Mark is known as the firebrand “cussing pastor” whose ministry of breaking conventions called men and women to transformation and whose rebellion touched a nerve with those inside and outside the church.
