Two excellent podcasts on the modern western church. The first is a Christian perspective and the second is a former Christian perspective but both don't shy away from the trenches nor negate the good in the midst of problematic and weird church movements.
1. The rise and fall of Mars Hill
The 1st on evangelicalism, mega churches, and when a church is a cult of personality. Specifically focusing on Mars Hill and the pastor/demagogue Mark Driscoll. If you were evangelical in the 90s Mars Hill was cool and successful until... it wasn't.
2. Heaven bent
The second actually does a different deep dive each season specifically into charismatic churches and movements. Each season actually focuses on a different church/movement. The second season is particularly fascinating because it happened mid pandemic/2020 election and focuses on Bethel which had some interesting interactions with the election cycle and COVID. But the other seasons are no slouches either. They also have great audio of the weirder sounds in charismatic churches in an educational and not belittling way.
