I see pastors listed with the same last name. Has GCx becoming ruled by hereditary pastors?

[AgathaL'Orange]

Well, there definitely are family connections.  The ones I know of are the Whitney family, the Rudes, the Bovenmyers, and.... I'm drawing a blank... what are the other families who have kids who have gone on to be influential leaders in the movement?

Main Session 5 by Charlie Meyer is very old school.

https://soundcloud.com/faithwalkers  There are quite a few main sessions and seminars up.  I've only listened to the Mark Darling one, which wasn't too bad.  Really!  He seemed more subdued, a bit more mature, a bit less extreme and alarmist.  So that's a plus!

You know what???!?  I have almost zero interest in listening to these!  I'm cured!  I'm cured!!!!!

Session 5.

15 minute mark:

You must give your lives, not for Jesus, but for the church.

32 minute mark:

I hope your plan and your goal in your life is to grow up and become mature and look like Jesus, but what this verse tells you is if that’s your goal you can’t do it without your local leaders. I don’t know if that’s ever struck you before. Americans, we’re so independent, we just think, oh I’ll figure this out, I’ll just get some books, I’ll read, I’ll do other stuff. God says, “No, it doesn’t work that way. I’m the spiritual guy, I’m building the spiritual house and I’m telling you how it has to be built. It has to be built by you being trained and led by your local leaders"…the Word of God says you need your leaders, you cannot become complete without them.
