Pastor Mark Driscoll is the lead preaching pastor for Mars Hill, and the podcasts include bible-oriented sermons and event teachings. If I could use one word to describe Driscoll it would be “intense”. He reminds me of the guy on a football team who pushes everyone to the next level and leaves it all on the field himself. It can be quite inspiring, but sometimes comes across as arrogant. The podcast also weaves in contemporary pop culture references which add an element of humor. I read that Driscoll sometimes pushes the envelope with coarse language or controversial themes, but I haven’t come across it.

Hope Sabbath School Study is an hour long weekly video or audio podcast that is also on the Hope TV channel. It is in-depth Bible study of one book or one theme over the course of about a dozen episodes at a time. The host (Dr. Derek Morris) acts as teacher, and a group of diverse young adults read passages and dialog about them. This format works very well, and brings plenty of interesting perspectives. The Hope Channel and this series is provided by the Seventh-day Adventist Church. However, after several months of viewing, I haven’t noticed any push for Adventist-specific doctrines. It’s just deep, rock solid Bible Study, and one of the best I’ve found.
