When Christian Leaders Fail - Interview with Matt Hammitt - Episode 252

The headlines have been filled with stories of Christian leaders facing serious accusations of wrongdoing and abuse. So how do we respond when the people we admire—and trust—let us down?

This week on the podcast, we’re joined by Matt Hammitt, who brings honest insight into the state of the Christian music industry. From the recent controversy surrounding Michael Tait of the Newsboys to the broader issue of leadership failures in the church, Matt helps us navigate these tough but important conversations.

If you’ve been hurt by a leader in the church, or you’re wrestling with how to respond when a hero falls, this episode is for you. God wants to lead us from bitterness toward healing and restoration—and this conversation points the way.
