Summary

*In this episode we discuss evangelical deconstruction, church abuse, white supremacy and misogyny. Please use discretion when listening.* Did you happen to catch either of the Hillsong docs? Because I have questions, and I couldn't think of a better person to ask than Janice Lagata. As one of the founding members of Hillsong NYC, Janice remembers a time before Carl Lentz. Before NBA players, and Justin Bieber and Selena Gomez and 6 sermons a Sunday. Before the crowds of fans flocked to church to tithe to a group of nepo babies and their cronies, as they used the collection plate to fund their extravagant lives. Janice shares her thoughts on church planting, deconstruction, white supremacy and misogyny in modern day Christianity.
