The Mars Hill Church saga still echoes through American Christianity.
In this episode of Dichotomy with Shannon, I sit down with my friend Marsh Schamburger—once inside Mars Hill, now a Lutheran pastor—to unpack:
✨ The hidden theology that fueled Mars Hill’s rise and fall
✨ Why spiritual abuse and church trauma are so common in megachurch culture
✨ How toxic leadership warps the gospel into control
✨ The difference between religion that binds and faith that actually frees
✨ What deconstruction really looks like on the other side
This isn’t just another Mars Hill documentary—it’s raw, unfiltered truth from people who lived it.
If you’ve wrestled with deconstruction, faith shifts, church hurt, cult-like Christianity, or toxic leadership, this episode will give you hope, perspective, and maybe even permission to breathe again.
💡 Dichotomy with Shannon is where we expose the lies, reclaim our true selves, and talk about the faith that actually sets you free.
