Ep. 485: Conflict Entrepreneurs, David Platt, and McLean Bible Church

Avatar photo

In this week’s “Extra” episode, Warren discusses the history of McLean Bible Church and the tenure of David Platt. Does he deserve the criticism he has received? Warren’s answer: Platt is not perfect, but the “conflict entrepreneurs” at his church have produced more heat than light.

A few links mentioned in today’s program:

Stories about McLean Bible Church or David Platt.

In the past week, the church released a 35-page report telling its side of the story.

I have read the entire report, and I strongly recommend that anyone with an interest in this matter should do the same. If reading the entire report is more than you want, MinistryWatch has a summary here.

The producer of today’s program is Jeff McIntosh. Until next time, may God bless you.
