I went there a few times and just left a bad taste in my mouth. I generally like Andy Stanley but it was weird as he's nearing the end of his sermon you can see people heading for the doors so they can beat the traffic. If I had tried that as a kid m mother would have put the fear of God in me. LOL!
What seems odd is that many of these sermon will make only a passing reference to the Bible which previously used to be a thing that only liberals did.
Northpoint struck me as a kind of church that you kinda had to know someone there before you could ever be a real part of it. You couldn't just show up cold turkey and ever become a real part of anytinng. If there was ever anyone in Atlanta that reminded me of John MacArthur I would definetely join that church however here its all rick warren rick warren rick warren everywhere you go. IMHO!!
Have you visited Church of the Apostles in Atlanta? They have a big building program going on, but seem to be avoiding true mega-church status (no gyms, food courts, fitness classes, etc.). The pastor is not "seeker friendly" and no PDL classes go on there as far as I know. Michael Youssef is a strong enough pastor and personality to avoid the cult of Warren, and I hope he has.
