Hi, this is John, and today on Theocast, we are going to be reviewing The Rise and Fall of Mars Hill.
And this is not necessarily a podcast about criticizing Mark or his ministry, but it's more about looking at history and theology and examining the motives of the church and the mission of the church.
We try to give you some helpful ways to understand how it is we get here, not only with this particular church, but with a lot of churches that have seemed to be fallen and ministers who have been falling
recently in history.
We hope you enjoy the conversation.

Welcome to Theocast, Encouraging Worry Pilgrims to Rest in Christ: Conversations about the Christian Life from a Reformed to End pastoral perspective.
Your hosts today are three pastors.
We have Justin Perdue, pastor of Covenant Baptist Church in Asheville, North Carolina.
I'm John Moffat, pastor of Grace Reformed Church in Spring Hill, Tennessee.
And just below me, so below Nashville is where I'm at, and below me in Spring Hill is our guest today.
First time on the podcast, not new to Theocast, but new on this podcast, is Patrick Crandall.
He is the pastor of Covenant Grace Church in, or Covenant Grace Columbia, as it's correctly known in Columbia, Tennessee.
Patrick, we were able to send him down there with about 60 people back in the first week of June, and you are three months officially into church planting.
And so, Patrick, it's good to have you here, brother.
Tell us a little bit about you, the church, and well, but let me continue actually.
Actually, there's a little bit more about Patrick, and then we'll ask him some questions.
