It probably helps to read the previous post prior to this one.
Mark Driscoll and Josh Harris interview Francis Chan and ask him why he’s leaving his church. And as I’m listening to this, I’m more disheartened that the pastoral superstars of our generation don’t get why F-Chan is doing what he’s doing. Francis Chan mentions a few times that there is this nagging call to “make disciples” and “love simply” in a way that can’t be done by doing the megachurch thing. Here’s the CT article that talks about the stuff he started in LA County a year ago alongside what he was doing in his church in Simi-Valley [before realizing that he had to give up one for the other].
Francis Chan confessed honestly that he might be in a fog that needs time to clear out. But I’m more sad that superstardom has left these two other pastors in the fog and it seems like all they see is the “lunacy” of leaving a “successful” church. It’s also irritating to see Driscoll psychoanalyze and theologize his way through this conversation. He’s going to get some heat for the “fu man chu” comment.
