Confessions of an Ex Seeker-Driven Preacher

For the Gospel Podcast
Written By Costi Hinn

Seeker-driven church models have decayed the evangelical church. Avoiding words like “sin” & replacing Biblical teaching with worldly entertainment has left believers spiritually malnourished & churches unconverted.

Due to popular demand, we’ve turned a recent video interview (Confessions of an Ex Seeker-Driven Preacher) into a podcast episode. Costi Hinn interviews his long-time pastor, Anthony Wood, about his time leading a ministry driven by numbers and the next best thing. Anthony honestly unpacks the tactics he used to coerce people forward and the lack of spiritual maturity that developed. Finally, the two share how the Lord graciously opened their eyes to Biblical preaching & how that transformed Mission Bible Church, from pastors to the pews.
