Hillsong, the global megachurch that started in Australia in 1983 and attracted celebrities and athletes, is in crisis. Scandals, secrecy and the resignation of Hillsong's founder and global pastor Brian Houston in March have led to more than half of its American campuses breaking away from the church.
Mike Cosper, a reporter and the director of podcasting at Christianity Today, tells Here & Now's Scott Tong about Hillsong's problems and its future.
