Episode 472: The "Sin of Empathy" & Spotting Toxic Leaders with Jamin Goggin & Kyle Strobel

Sep 1, 2021 · 1h 36m

Former megachurch pastor, evangelical wunderkind, and author of "I Kissed Dating Goodbye," Josh Harris, has since left his wife and renounced his faith. He's now pitching himself as an expert guide for other ex-vangelicals. What does his story tell us about the evangelical subculture? Then, strange things are happening at John Piper's church in Minneapolis where leaders are clashing over issues of race and abuse. And some pastors are resigning after being accused of "the sin of empathy." Then, Jamin Goggin and Kyle Strobel return to discuss revisions to their 2017 book "The Way of the Dragon or the Way of the Lamb." They stopped selling the book and revised it because one of the Christian leaders they celebrated as a "lamb" turned out to be a "dragon." They're now asking, why do we so often fail to spot toxic church leaders? Plus, scientists are making mini-brains from stem cells. But to their surprise, the brains have grown eyes. Leading Phil to ask, What could possibly go wrong?
