Mark Driscoll ‘peddling’ signed copies of his sermon notes?

By churchwatcher on July 8, 2019

As far back as 2014, Church Watch Central has been covering Mark Driscoll, his downfall and ‘self-restoration’. Warren Throckmorton, along with Pulpit & Pen report on the latest narcissistic endeavour from Driscoll.

“You know you want them. Pastor Mark’s signed notes are essential evangelical merch. All you have to do is add your email to Pastor Mark’s email list and you can have a chance to own these authentic notes the research for which may or may not have been paid for by Mars Hill Church.” No deadline is given, but don’t delay for as Driscoll 3:16 says, “I am the brand, and thou art not the brand.”(Link)

Pastor Mark Driscoll of The Trinity Church in Phoenix, Arizona, is peddling signed copies of his sermon notes. Apparently, being a disgraced pastor doesn’t prevent one from capitalizing upon popularity from past lives by hocking memorabilia.

Driscoll’s multi-site mega-church planting empire suddenly imploded in 2014 after scandals relating to plagiarism, pastoral abuse, numerous publicity stunts gone-awry, and accusations of church financial mismanagement for the personal enrichment of the preacher.

As Driscoll fled Seattle in the wake of Mars Hill’s collapse, he found a friend and ally in the now-disgraced James MacDonald, who gave his church’s resources to support the planting of Driscoll’s Trinity Church. With MacDonald now gone from ministry for very much the same anger and money-related issues, Driscoll’s flegling little church is struggling to get a second-wind.

Driscoll, once known for no-nonsense exposition and serious-minded Bible preaching, has turned his new church into a seeker-friendly circus, recently having a “swimsuit Sunday” at the church.

There seems to be little-going for the Phoenix-area church, except the name that is as much infamous as famous, Mark Driscoll. And, it appears as though Driscoll is willing to capitalize on his former celebrity status as much as possible.
