The Rise and Fall of Mars Hill was a widely celebrated podcast by the Evangelical left. It showcased one side of the story in Mark Driscoll’s falling out with his coelders at a multicampus megachurch in Seattle. The podcast was produced by Mike Cosper of Christianity Today and largely pushes a liberal agenda that the more patriarchal theology of Mark Driscoll was the problem.
Megan Basham recently brought to light that the podcast was exposed by an online gay therapy company, BetterHelp. The company’s intake form goes gay on the second question where after asking what country you live in asks for “gender identity,” a woke and fictional category.
In addition to the two existing genders, they contain a long list of made-up genders for people with no personality.
Basham also pointed out that BetterHelp sponsors The Holy Post as well. It’s fascinating that a Freudian app is targeting liberal Evangelicalism for their version of a therapy app.
It’s often said to judge a man by his enemies. Mark Driscoll, for all his flaws and rough patches, truly has a great list of enemies.

Ah, yes, the fact that this publisher took an ad buy from one of the biggest buyers of podcast ad buys surely negates all their well-sourced claims and clears Driscoll’s name. Turns out, he really was a tough guy hero of evangelicalism all along, because they did an ad read for Better Help.
Better Help is garbage. But so is Driscoll as a pastor.
