Being human, we all have failures. However, when people who are in leadership have failures, there tends to be more backlash to it. That makes sense as we are emotional creatures and when people we look up to fail, it hurts. And there should definitely be appropriate consequences to whatever failures occur. We read in the book of James that not everyone should become leaders because God will hold them to a higher standard.
The question is though, how should you, us, and the body of Christ as a whole react when Christian leaders have damaging failures.
This is an emotional topic for many and many have experienced hurt in the church from such failures. We want to discuss this with empathy for the victims, grace for the guilty, and with the health of everyone taken into consideration.
Enjoy!
