Occasionally our popular discernment verdicts need updates based on new information since they were initially published. Sometimes that new information is evidence of further deconstruction. Our verdict on John Mark Comer has been one of the most popular this year. As it was published in April 2020, it’s fairly out of date with some more recent developments.
On Sunday, we published an article detailing his exit from pastorate ministry and into a more self help role. As he is no longer a pastor Evangelical Dark Web, in light of the other pressing concerns, upgraded his verdict from a 2 to a 3, the highest warning without being labeled a false teacher.
Additionally, I would like to inform you that I will be writing about Rick Warren next. As Rick Warren is likely to be the church villain of the year in my estimation, it seems fitting to get on this. He is currently tied for the most requests. Rather than allowing for popular sovereignty, I am opting to settle the tie on this one.
Part of how this Discernment ministry operates is taking in reader questions about prevalent teachers. Tony Evans held the lead for the most active requests at the start of this research. You can make a request here and see our answered verdicts here.
