What happens when Christian musicians become idols? In this episode of The Deep End Podcast, Pastor Tim Hatch unpacks the disturbing reports surrounding Michael Tait—former member of DC Talk and lead singer of Newsboys—and how his alleged misconduct is just one more crack in the shaky foundation of Christian celebrity culture.
From Hillsong to Hawk Nelson, from platform worship to deconstructed faith, the episode highlights a disturbing trend: when spiritual formation is outsourced to performers, the results are devastating. This isn’t about music—it’s about misplaced worship and the weakening of ecclesiology in evangelical culture.
