63 - The Hillsong Church Documentary: Thoughts and Reflections (w/ Josh Surratt)
Show Notes

After watching the heart-wrenching and unfortunately very disturbing documentary on Hillsong Church, The Secrets of Hillsong, Lead Pastor Josh Surratt joins regular hosts, Pastors Jack Hoey III and Joey Svendsen to reflect on what they saw and learned from the documentary. 

The three reflect on the tough question of whether Hillsong’s leaders originally started with admirable aspirations and motivations for a healthy church, that simply went awry. They also ponder any level of responsibility Josh holds to assert continual transparency and openness concerning the environment of Seacoast Church; a church that although behind the scenes is far from perfect,  consistently lacks the primary ingredients that led to such a toxic church culture at Hillsong, as the leadership at Seacoast is very motivated with great care to keep each member safe.

Hillsong's downfall and exposure of corruption left many in distress and regret, second-guessing the value of their energy and personal investment over the years at Hillsong Church.
