I always thought megachurches were corporate Christianity that diluted the faith into a feel good rock show. You have some smooth talker repeating general moral platitudes with a positive spin and some bible verses for a comforting message. Old school fire and brimstone, repent at once stuff? Not allowed.
Then, you have the concert venue of a church built with the latest acoustic and lighting technology and the gigantic band and choir to produce an electric contagious emotional atmosphere that produces an extreme endorphin rush, the euphoric joy you hear so much about in these places.
That's why these places grew so big. They basically turned Jesus into a drug.

Closer to the truth. Follow the coins.
My immediate suspicion is that either his wife cheated on him or he’s finally got the SMV level to attract younger women who treat him better than she does. If it’s the former then I understand why he’s disavowed all his former beliefs, which some have called the “sexual prosperity gospel.” If it’s the latter then it’s just a case of someone who either faked his earlier stuff in the hopes of attracting a woman or maybe a guy changing his entire perspective on life as a result of having options for the first time. I don’t know enough about the guy to make an educated guess but it’s probably one of those things.

Atheism is no protection against convergence either.
Atheism is no protection against convergence either.
My guess is that this man has either been eroded from within by a traitorous wife, or that he's so weak that he's just throwing out all his principles on the desperate hope he'll get her back.
Take a look at what he was married to:
Hair above the chin, subversion from within as AB often said. Hoop earrings are a standing advertisement. Singer/songwriter - but not hymns. Practices yoga, believes in Enneagrams which might as well be astrology.
He married this at 22 years old, in 1998. It bore him three children somehow, and it is writing a leftie musical:
So
(1) either his brain's snapped from living a lie: the Bible demands he's the leader, but he's being force-fed leftie shit by his wife day in, day out. She eventually decides For HerSelf that she Can't Grow Into A Full Person Any Longer, and Must Leave Him To Find HerSelf. In a fit of rage, he blames God and just changes his self-image to resemble something she might find attractive, because his identity can't handle that she wouldn't love him as a man of God.
(2) ... or she's been successful in her mission and corroded his moral centre sufficiently to make him fart SJW nonsense all over the Net. All of us know seemingly-strong men who've been worn down over two decades by their wives until they're whipped dogs.
Which of them is right, who knows.

Divorce rate is primarily a function of the number of pre-martial sex partners:
But divorce rate is not what I'm after here. I was mentioning that entitlement to a perfect life, even if the Lord's plan looks different, and apostatizing the second stuff gets rough.
The Lord might have lined up a way superior replacement wife already and what does this idiot do? Renounce Him in public. You can't fuck yourself over any better than this.

You are in denial. I am speaking from experience because I personally know people raised as conservative Christians who are now radical left wing SJW activists. But they are exactly the same self-righteous people, they just shuffled the symbols around - the Devil is now Trump and LGBT are the godly.

Sounds to me like his wife found out he was down-low gay and he's trying to get out in front before the media gets hold of it. I don't see how you can "fall away" from Jesus. It's not like Jesus is letting go of your hand while you're hanging over a cliff.

One of the greatest things about living with a woman is when she puts little touches like this around the home.

It looks like his wife has gone crazy.
They got wrecked after being groomed to take over a church that a child molesting youth pastor had screwed up bad. Lawsuits, jail time yada yada. That kind of experience will drive a woman insane.

Did I advocate for squalor, unpainted drywall, and having your mattress on the floor?
You missed the red pill that allows more things beyond lilacs and lavender to be defined as beautiful and pleasant smelling.
I have plenty of plants and flowers in and around my home, including orchids, perhaps the most dainty flower of all. I use essential oil diffusers, but I'll use sandalwood, cedarwood, or citrus scents.
I'm not against "feminine" decor, but I appreciate it in HER areas. I'm curious, does your bathroom have a flower border and do you use vanilla-coconut scented soap and shampoo? No judgment if you do. But when given a choice, most husbands prefer something more neutral and only let their wives overrun their wishes because they're completely under her thumb.

Statistically, faithful Christians who attend Church together regularly have much lower rates of divorce than either nominal Christians or secular people.
