Faith, Power & Scandal: When the Church Gets Exposed

In this powerful and unfiltered conversation, we dive into the recent allegations involving gospel artist Donnie McClurkin and Giuseppe Corletto, and use this moment to have a deeper discussion about accountability, church culture, and personal experiences growing up in religious spaces.

We speak candidly about what it was like growing up in a Church during a time when headlines constantly exposed priests being arrested for child sexual abuse. From childhood confusion to adult awareness, we reflect on how those experiences shaped our perspective on faith and organized religion.

This episode is not about attacking faith — it’s about accountability, transparency, and protecting communities. We even revisit an incident from our own childhood church in Roosevelt, where a priest was later convicted on child pornography charges. These conversations are uncomfortable — but necessary.

💬 We want to hear from YOU:

• Do you think churches are doing enough to protect their communities?

• Can faith and accountability coexist?

• How should institutions rebuild trust?
