Thinking With Your Bible
How Do We Handle Pastors' Moral Failures? | Mailbag
It seems like every time you open up social media, you learn of another pastor who’s fallen from grace. How should we think about it? What do we do?
Scott, Chris, and Bree tackle this by answering a listener’s question, “Can you talk about Pastors or Christian leaders and moral failures? For example, sexual immorality, embezzling funds, child abuse. These events keep happening specifically in the Christian church, and it can be hard to process and think biblically about them. Can you provide any advice for evangelism to people whose main objection to the Christian faith is the pattern of moral failures of Christian leaders?”
They discuss:
- The reality of pastors being sinners
- The importance of the plurality of elders in these situations
- How to evangelize to people whose objection to Christ is moral failures of leaders
We hope this episode encourages you as you grapple with the effects of sin in our world, especially in the area of pastors and church leaders.
