Episode Synopsis

What happens when a trusted leader fails? In this raw and redemptive episode, Kirk Moose dives into the often-avoided conversation of how the Church should respond when leaders fall into sin, burnout, or moral failure.Too often, we exile or rush to reinstate — but neither approach reflects the heart of Christ. With Scripture as our guide and grace as our foundation, this episode explores what true restoration looks like: ownership, repentance, community accountability, and healing over platform.If you're a leader who’s struggling, someone who's been wounded by leadership, or a believer wondering how to walk others through restoration, this episode offers both challenge and hope.👉 Tune in for truth, tension, and a path forward — because redemption is still possible, and healing starts when we’re willing to get uncomfortable.🌱 Want to support the mission behind this podcast and Moose Ministries?
