Brian Broderson apparently muscled his way to the top when Chuck Smith was in his last years. He has not carried the Chuck Smith torch and there is a movement to restore the teachings of Chuck Smith.
I think fame and fortune have gotten to Greg Laurie’s head. My wife once posted some constructive criticism of him, and got locked out of their Instagram account.
I go to a small local CC that still maintains the original CC distinctives.
I see so many cc doing sermon series rather than through the bible. I listened to Heitzig go verse by verse thru Luke 4 and thought he did a very good job...then he riffed into an illustration I had heard Chuck Smith use in the past.
That’s why I wondered if he had taken cccm.
