Driscoll's model of leadership is a pyramid scheme and it's rampant in churches and ministry schools across the Pentecostal/Charismatic, Evangelical, and even the Baptist denominations.
The scheme is not new, as the Catholic Church is built the same way, but a guy named John Bevere renewed this scheme among Christian ministries with his book Under Cover.
