Mark Driscoll On When Pastors Should Step Down

Mark Driscoll recently traveled to England to speak about the importance of church planting. The lectures can be found here.
At one point Mark, a brother whom I greatly respect, talked about when a “number one” Pastor should step down. His argument, there are some guys who are really, as he puts it, “number two” [...]

Do the Men of the Church look up to John Tesh or Mark Driscoll?

Is Mark Driscoll right?
Do men care about church?
Should men care about church?
Do we, as the church, target the audience before us which statistically is more female( I’ve heard 60%)?
