1098 - Why So Many Worship Leaders (and Christian Men) Secretly Struggle With Sexual Sin

Sexual sin among worship leaders and Christian men isn’t proof that faith doesn’t work — it’s proof that isolation does. In this episode, Sathiya Sam explains how pressure, access, and identity distortion create secrecy, even in devoted leaders. Drawing from personal experience, he shows why spiritual activity alone can’t heal unaddressed wounds and why honest brotherhood, rooted identity, and accountability are essential for lasting freedom.
