What Happened to All the Celebrity Preachers? (Ep. 381)

EST. - For the Established Church with Sam Rainer and Josh King

For a season, it seemed like the Christian evangelical world was dominated by celebrity preachers. What happened to this movement? Josh and Sam discuss some reasons why there is less of an emphasis on big names with big platforms. The story is deeper than some of the notorious scandals. Leadership style has a lot to do with it.
