The resignation came after a number of allegations of misconduct and mismanagement were made against Driscoll and the church. These included charges of plagiarism, the misuse of church funds, and the creation of fake online accounts to boost the church's book sales.

In his resignation letter, Driscoll apologized for his actions and acknowledged that he had "hurt many people." He wrote, "I am sorry for the times when I have been angry, short-tempered, or have not exhibited the self-control that I desire to have as a husband, father, and leader."

Driscoll went on to say that he had "failed to lead in a manner consistent with our values and practices" and that he had "made mistakes and wrong decisions." He expressed regret for the hurt and pain that he had caused, and apologized to his family, the church, and the broader Christian community.

Despite his apology, many people remained skeptical of Driscoll's remorse, with some accusing him of only apologizing in order to save face. Some also pointed out that the resignation letter did not address all of the allegations against him, and that it did not provide any concrete plans for addressing the problems at Mars Hill Church.

After his resignation, Driscoll faced further controversy as he attempted to start a new church in Phoenix, Arizona. He faced backlash from some members of the community, who accused him of attempting to rebuild his career without truly acknowledging or addressing the issues that had led to his resignation from Mars Hill.

In the years since his resignation, Driscoll has largely stayed out of the public eye, and it is not clear what he is currently doing. However, the legacy of his controversial tenure at Mars Hill Church and the allegations against him continue to be a subject of discussion and debate within the Christian evangelical community.
