Episode 56: This is Part 2 of a conversation with Shane Meyer-Holt about megachurch culture and the concerning and harrowing stories emerging from victims of bullying, harassment and abuse within some of these churches. In this conversation we talk about explicit and implicit coercion, the role of fear and the power of the charismatic ego, and we examine the "honour culture" that underpins much of the megachurch system - a culture that contributes both to the inability to speak up, as well as being responsible for some of the worst excesses and impulses of senior leaders.

Yes they do! The mega churches are seen as the standard/method that so many are aspiring to. So it’s not just a “big church” problem.

Very timely conversation. In my observation, many smaller Pentecostal churches strive to emulate the same church growth strategies of Megachurches.
