Below
is a Special Edition of the “Fighting for the Faith” radio program that exposes
the Cult-Like Hostile Takeover Tactics of Dan Southerland's Purpose-Driven
Church Transtioning Seminar.
The list of cult-like tactics employed by
Southerland is LONG. They include:
1.
Flat out lies and manipulative double speak
2. Blatant Scripture Twisting
3. New & Direct Extra Biblical Revelation and Visions from God
4. Flat out intolerance for anyone who questions or challenges these
"new" Extra Biblical Revelations and Visions that are supposedly from
God.
All
of these cult-like tactics are exposed and discussed in this special edition of
F4F. Furthermore, I cannot emphasize enough the fact that Dan
Southerland's Church Transitions company has been the "go to" company
used by Rick Warren's Purpose-Driven businesses to train pastors into Warren's
Druckerite leadership methodologies.
This
is an episode of Fighting for the Faith from 2010, when Rev. Chris Rosebrough put
together several segments into one program specifically addressing the takeover
tactics coming from "church growth expert," Dan Southerland. He is a
huge evangelical Purpose-Driven growth "guru" who says some truly
scary and un-biblical things. This guy is a manipulative Bible-twister; and he
sounds like a cross between a used-car salesman and a smooth-talking CEO who
convinces his employees why it's good to export their jobs to Mexico. His most
notorious remark is when he tells pastors that the they must "shoot the
wolves. Kill 'em." Southerland is not talking about false teachers in the
church! He's referring to members of the church who point out un-Biblical
teachings coming from their pastors.
If you've ever been shot down in church
because you questioned the weird new teachings coming from your Purpose Driven
pastor, you'll recognize the sneaky, slimy and cult-like tactics taught by this
guy.
