Welcome Home | Toxic Church – die Hillsong-Story | E1| Podimo

Warm hugs to greet you, beaming faces with tears in their eyes, and ecstatic services that give you goosebumps: Hillsong has become one of the most successful—and possibly most profitable—free churches in the world in recent years. But what makes it so special? Why do young people, especially in major Western cities, flock to its services? How did Hillsong manage to attract stars like Justin Bieber and Selena Gomez? In this episode, we want to understand what Hillsong is like. To do this, we travel to Berlin, New York, and Konstanz. And we talk to Max, among others. He helped build the church in Konstanz and knows the German pastors personally. But at some point, he could no longer reconcile his involvement with and for Hillsong with his conscience. In this podcast, he opens up—despite a non-disclosure agreement. Sign up here and listen to Toxic Church—the Hillsong story: https://bit.ly/3Px9P8j ________________________ What is Podimo?
