Im not a big fan. Part of it is that my parents listen to it a lot, which naturally means it is uncool. The other part is that there are a lot of cults of personality in the industry.
For instance Hank Hanegraaff, the Bible Answer Man, got in some trouble a while back over how he was mis-spending the Christian Research Institute's money. CRI also fired a whistleblower that took this information to the Evangelical Council for Financial Accountability. There may be a problem with their fundraising practices as well. CRI raises millions annually.
Now LaShawn Barber is linking to the story of Marty Minto. Marty was fired from his talk show because he shared the essence of the Gospel on air in relation to the recent death of Pope John Paul. When asked if he thought the Pope was going to heaven, Marty replied that he would if he had faith in Christ as his savior. I would have a problem with someone being fired for this on any private station, but Marty broadcasts on WORD FM in Pittsburg. That's right a Christian station is firing a guy for sharing the gospel. Christianity Today is also carrying this story.
