How Mega-Macho-Pastor Mark Driscoll Helps Explain Trump’s Evangelical Support

How Mega-Macho-Pastor Mark Driscoll Helps Explain Trump’s Evangelical Support









If pundits paid attention to evangelicals beyond their stances on
moral values the popularity of Donald Trump among them might not be
quite so inexplicable.




Joining the chorus of voices from all over the political and
religious maps, Peter Wehner, former deputy director of speechwriting
for President George W. Bush calls the evangelical embrace of Trump discordant.
He repeats another common refrain when he attributes this evangelical
support to a “narrative of injury” that “is leading them to look to
scapegoats to explain their growing impotence.” In effect, Wehner blames
Trump’s followers for being manipulated by a “compulsive and
unrepentant liar.”




While he is stunned by “how my fellow evangelicals can rally behind a
man whose words and actions are so at odds with the central teachings
of our faith,” it is in fact not uncommon for evangelicals to rally
behind unrepentant liars.




Re-enter Mark Driscoll, former pastor of Mars Hill Church in Seattle and, according to his blog, future pastor of The Trinity Church in Phoenix. Last week, Driscoll had a civil racketeering lawsuit
filed against him by four former Mars Hill members, which
includes the misappropriation of church tithes to pay the book marketing
firm ResultSource $210,000 to artificially elevate sales of his book Real Marriage in order to achieve bestselling author status.
