Description

In our first episode we discuss the first two episodes of the FX/Hulu docu-series The Secrets of Hillsong about the rise and fall of one of the world's most famous megachurches. What is unique about Hillsong? What makes a celebrity pastor famous? And why can't American evangelicalism understand and deal with desire?
