029: Inside Mark Driscoll's Castle: Former Security Director Chad Freese and Volunteer Ben Eneas

Stories of control and paranoia from The Trinity Church, where at least one leader believes Mark Driscoll is the closest thing to Jesus on earth. Chad and Ben talk about how they ended up there, why they left, and why they feel Mark Driscoll should not be leading a church.
