I just listened to an amazing podcast series bout Mars Hill, and Porter was mentioned....wonder if it's the same guy. I don't think he was at Mars Hill, but was a contemporary of the pastor there, Mark Driscoll, and kinda wrapped up in the same energy.
It’s probably Piper, this guy isn’t like a super big pastor, and he’s a lot younger than the Mars Hill guys, but who knows? I’ll recognize his name if I hear it and it’s a really good listen!! Thanks for the reminder.
Did you already listen to the series who killed Mars hill? As a recently returned lost sheep, I found it comforting to hear how all the good Christians have wrestled with the sin amongst them
Fabulous piece Elizabeth - the 90’s nostalgia sounds like an interesting “background” in this book. And brilliant prayer as always 😊
Thanks Simona! It really is a fun setting.
Thanks, Elizabeth.
P.S. I'd never heard of "The Alchemist" until reading your review.

Here is what he said about Mark back in 2014. I wonder if he was one of the employee pastors? He clearly has strong feelings lol https://joshdies.wordpress.com/2014/02/05/does-god-hate-me/
Or maybe I’m thinking of Piper?? Anyway thanks for sharing this book review. Put it on my reading list

I started it today and listened to a bunch since I was home sick! It’s so good
They might have been in the gospel coalition or some other conference together. Or maybe a different porter altogether
I’d be surprised. He’s highly and publicly critical of that whole mess. Very different vibe, like he would have been kicked out of Driscoll’s church.
