Summary

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'?
