Genocide in Gaza Jul 10, 2024

Show notes

"If you are not appalled by what is happening; if you are not shaken to your core – there is something wrong with your humanity. If we, as Christians, are not outraged by this genocide, by the weaponizing of the Bible to justify it, there is something wrong with our Christian witness, and compromising the credibility of the Gospel! If you fail to call this a genocide. It is on you. It is a sin and a darkness you willingly embrace." - Rev. Dr. Munther Isaac

Show notes

Evangelical pastor and radio host Tony Evans cited an unnamed "sin" as he stepped down as senior pastor at Oak Cliff Bible Fellowship in Dallas, the latest controversy for high-profile pastors in America.

Evans will be "temporarily stepping away from his senior pastor’s duties," Shari L. Carroll, a spokesperson for the church, said in a Friday email to USA TODAY. On Sunday, the pastor said in a statement on the church's website that he has "committed no crime," but "did not use righteous judgment in actions."

This week on Pass The Mic Pastor Tyler Burns and EP Beau York sit down to discuss the state of Mega Churches, Celebrity Pastors, Christian Influencers and ask the question 'is it time for the mega church to die'?
