When church leaders fail, the fallout can leave believers confused, hurt, and unsure how to respond. In this episode, we discuss the recent controversy surrounding Bethel Church and the allegations involving Shawn Bolz. We want to be clear: we are not experts, investigators, or pastors. But we do believe Scripture is clear about how the Church is called to respond when sin, deception, and leadership failure come into the light.


Rather than reacting with outrage or speculation, we slow the conversation down and examine what the Bible says about accountability, repentance, transparency, and discernment, for both leaders and congregants.

1 Timothy 5:19–21
