The Controlling Church

Episode 127

The Controlling Church

with Michael Jensen, Megan Powell du Toit, and Kylie Walls

This week, Michael and Megan tackle the difficult topic of the controlling church.

They discuss how much – if any – control churches should be allowed to have over members, and how to safeguard against any misuse of power from leaders.

Christian psychologist Kylie Walls then joins the show for a sobering discussion on spiritual abuse, before our hosts review the hit podcast Sons of Patriarchy, which deals with the hyper-conservative ministry of Douglas Wilson.

WHAT IS WITH ALL DUE RESPECT?

Less aggro, more conversation.

Is it even possible to have a deep discussion without it descending into chaos? Michael Jensen and Megan Powell du Toit think yes, and want to show the rest of us how to do it.

There’s plenty of things they disagree on: free will, feminism, where you should send your kids to school and what type of church you should go to. But there are also plenty of other things that they have in common. They want to talk about all these things with conviction. But they also want the conversation to be constructive. Tune in to find out if that’s possible.
