Mark Driscoll and Joshua Harris ask Francis Chan why he stepped down as senior pastor of Cornerstone Church in Simi Valley, California, and what he plans to do next. When Chan announced in the Spring of this year of his departure, it caught many (if not all) people by surprise. Listen to Chan as he shares why and how God led him to make this incredible move.

This is a great conversation.
Always good to hear from these guys, and especially to hear from Chan and the thoughts behind his move.
What happened to pastors planting their lives in a community for an extended period of time? I have a hard time understanding Francis’ comments!
Maybe Francis’ time was up. Mark Driscoll is a pastor who wants to stay long term and thrives on telling his congregation how wonderful he is and how biblically he lives his life. Francis has had a realisation that pride and arrogance fills his heart and wants to step away from the celebrity christian status – is that easily understood?
