Summary

On Today's episode, Sadie and Gavir'el discuss the International Hillsong Megachurch. They discuss contemporary christian music, the Hillsong brand, the association with celebrities, and all of the various scandals surrounding the leadership, ministry, and seminary in order to determine whether or not Hillsong qualifies as a cult using Stephen Hassan's BITE model.
