Choosing not to answer any questions about why Mark Driscoll was invited to speak at a leadership conference in May of 2021, despite the 2o14 debacle and what looks perilously close to repeating the same mistakes at his new church, is odd, and not encouraging about Mr. Wood’s direction in his new role at Saddleback Church. If he doesn’t have time–or worse, doesn’t choose to explain himself, what else is he not going to choose to explain? It isn’t a good look, and not a good practice.

In reply to otrotierra.

She’s tapping into a rich vein of corruption and abuse of power that’s rarely been explored by the mainstream press, and never in a systematic way.

She’s also a rare (perhaps unique) example of a conservative evangelical journalist who is not out to score political points against the left and is willing to follow the story no matter where it leads. What’s more, she isn’t afraid to take on powerful establishment evangelicals.

As a lefty atheist I have absolutely nothing in common with Roys politically or religiously, but I have the utmost respect for her honesty, tenacity, and integrity when it comes to her journalism.

In reply to Tacitus. Yes, Julie Roys sure does produce an impressive body of investigative journalism.

Julie Roys isn’t letting up on Andy Wood. She’s published the first half of a two-part report on Wood’s efforts to act like a corporate raider, attempting to plunder struggling churches with smaller elderly congregations of their high value assets while keeping the church’s denominational organization out of the loop.

A brood of vipers flock together for good reasons. Wood is to busy preparing to eat alive a large megachurch on his own. So many pockets to pick. So many people whom he can joyfully abuse. This man is a snake and he is taking over a mega-piece of cocka. No Jesus in any of this anywhere. Give a few years and Warren will be publishing documents from this church, I have no doubt. Mars Hill all over again. People never learn. Always some fool out there who drinks the flavor-aid and who might or might not live to regret it.

In reply to otrotierra. Based on his refusal to give any response I'd say it is also too difficult for him to come up with a convincing lie as well.

Evidently telling the truth is too difficult for Pastor Andy Wood.

“he did say he is choosing not to respond, so perhaps he is able, just not willing.”

Of course he is able to say, he just knows the answer would not put him in a good light, so he chooses to stay in darkness.
