Interview: Mark Driscoll Comes to Peoria

Mark Driscoll, pastor of the 6,000 member Mars Hill Church in Seattle, WA was in Peoria at the end of January.  He was in town to speak at a pastor's conference at Riverside Community Church.  Mike Miller, from the Peoria Journal Star, interviewed him.  You can read that interview here.

Mars Hill in Seattle was one of the first churches to target Gen-X, unchurched, persons and try to reach them with the gospel.  They have been very successful and have also drawn quite a bit of criticism.  All issues that Miller brings up in the interview.

The highlight might be when he mentions The Forecast as one of the bands he is currently listening to on his iPod.  This happens to be the band that Shannon Burns plays for.  Shannon is a former MYF'er and daughter of Joe and Michelle.
