Bob Hyatt linked to this article about Mark Driscoll on Wittenburgdoor.com and I want to share so thoughts from it.
I have to admit that I really respect Mark, though I don’t agree with him theologically. Mark’s leadership and desire to teach both the people in his gatherings and leaders the masculine side of Christianity that gets dismissed by almost all of America Christianity is inspiring and the kind of leader I want to follow. A while back I listened to one of the Acts 29 Bootcamp podcasts about men in leadership and that’s where my respect for Mark began. He his total on target for calling men to stand up and be the leaders God called us to be. In the Wittenburg Door article he doesn’t really delineate from that and this great moment in church conference history Mark invites five guys from the audience up, puts his hands behind his back and tells them to take a punch at him in the chin. No one takes him up even though he promises not to hit them back and after they leave the stage he precedes to hit himself five times and the goes on with his talk. This is great stuff, when has a leader ever been so brave as to do something like this.
